Explains how to use the different features in the Send to OneNote tool for OneNote 2013. Basic skills required.
Details
This is a picture of the Send to OneNote tool for OneNote 2013:
If the "Start with OneNote" box is checked, this window will open every time you open OneNote; otherwise it will stay hidden in the hidden icons section of the taskbar. The number in the parenthesis means to press that key in combination with the Windows key to activate that command by keyboard. The other way to activate that command is to click the box directly. The "Exit" link closes the window, although the tool is still active behind the scenes.
Taking Screen Clippings:
Once you activate the screen clipping command, you can drag a box over the area of the screen you wish to copy:
When you release the cursor, a window will open asking you what you want to do with the clipping:
Use this tool to copy the clipping where you want it in OneNote, or use the "Copy to Clipboard" option to extract the clipping without sending it to OneNote. You will then have to paste it into Word, Paint, or another tool that can handle pasting and PNG files so you don't lose it when you restart your computer or when you copy something else.
Sending to OneNote:
This option allows you to send material that you have highlighted - such as text, links, and pictures - directly to OneNote and keep the current formatting, so text is still editable text and links can still be opened. This feature's shortcut is broken in Windows 8 because Windows-D is used to show the desktop. When you use this feature, the same window mentioned above will ask you where to place the data.
New Quick Notes:
Using this feature will create a new quick note and place it in the Quick Notes tab in the list of your notebooks. This is what a new quick note will look like as you are creating it:
Just type your note and close the window. OneNote saves it and places it in the correct place without further help.
