Hi and welcome to SevenForums,
I would say use the rectangle snip option instead,
Then drag around the area as you wish,

Here is a little video tutorial I made the other day for a friend of my wife. This is the Windows 8.1 version, but the operational part is the same in Windows 7. Maybe it helps.

Another great tutorial.
That should take the mystery out of the snipping tool.

I should have been more specific. Yes, if I save it, the margins are gone. However, when I capture, before I save, the margins are there.
I use Snipping Tool to temporarily capture some settings ... allows me to do a comparison (saving and opening the saved file are two more steps). The wide margin consumes screen real estate ... unnecessarily.

Sorry but I am a bit lost. Can you post an example and explain on it what the problem is.

Thanks Jack, but that was really not intended as a general tutorial. The wife's friend had just asked for a helping hand and I wipped that up in a few minutes. For a general tutorial I would probably redo it because I was stuttering at a couple of places.

Well thank your friend also for sharing the tutorial.
I would also like to look at bhs67 snapshot post because I'm not understanding either.

This is a screen print of the snipping tool window - before the snip is saved.
The text in the red rectangle is what I selected with the snipping tool.
The OP would like to make all the white space around the actual snip smaller.
It's apx 1" "white borders" around the actual snip.

But who cares about the white border before it's saved. What counts is how it looks after it was saved.

I'll take a guess until confirmed,
Go to Tools and Options and compare these settings ?

Obviously the OP cares, and they are aware of how it looks after saving. The snips are temporary as mentioned below.
I don't think there is a solution to your problem with snipping tool, you may want to try a different screen capture program.
