Dear Richard DeRosa
Thanks for reaching out! Welcome to Microsoft Q&A. I'm Haien from Microsoft Q&A.
I can imagine how concerning it must be to notice the Snip Tool on your new Windows 11 computer altering numbers from your bank statement—like changing 185.29 to 183.29—especially since you’ve been using this method successfully on Windows 10 for years. That’s definitely odd, and I’m here to help you figure it out!
From your description, I can identify some Potential Causes in your situation: Optical Character Recognition (OCR) Feature error, Conflicting Third-Party Software, Corrupted System Files.
Since you’re on Windows 11, here are some steps to try:
Option 1: Adjust display scaling
- Right-click the desktop, select "Display settings," and under "Scale and layout," set it to 100%.
- Take a new snip and paste it into Word to check if the numbers match the original bank statement.
Option 2: Update or reset Snip Tool
- Open Settings > Apps > Installed Apps > find "Snipping Tool" > click the three-dot menu > select "Advanced options." > Choose "Reset" to clear any corrupted settings, then test again.
- If the issue persists, uninstall and reinstall it via the Microsoft Store.
Option 3: Paste as an Image Instead of Text
- Take your snip as you normally would.
- Open your Word document > Instead of pressing Ctrl + V, right-click on the page > In the Paste Options menu that appears, hover over the icons. You should see options like "Keep Source Formatting," "Merge Formatting," and "Picture" > Select the "Picture" icon.
Option 4: Disable the Text Recognition Feature in the Snip Tool
- Press the Windows key and type "Snip & Sketch." > Open the Snip & Sketch app > Click the three dots (...) or the gear icon in the top-right corner to open the settings. > Look for an option related to "Copy text" or "Text actions" > Disable this feature.
- Restart the Snip & Sketch app and try a new snip.
