Inserting a Screen Clipping

Adding a screen clipping to OneNote literally enables you to take a picture of something on your computer screen and place it on a OneNote page. You might use this feature to capture information that appears onscreen during a Webcast or shared online work session. Or you can capture information from a Web page, such as grabbing the headline and lead photo from a news site so that you remember where you saw the information. When you take a screen clipping from a Web page, OneNote also inserts a hyperlink to the Web page.

Here’s how to create a screen clip in OneNote:

1.	Click in the page at the location where you want to insert the item in OneNote.
2.	Switch to the location from which you want to clip the screen. For example, display the desktop or launch your Web browser and brows to the page that holds the information to clip.
3.	Switch back to OneNote.
4.	Choose Insert Screen Clipping. OneNote minimizes, and the location you selected in Step 2 appears. The screen appears “grayed out” to indicate that OneNote is waiting for you to make your clip selection.
5.	Drag diagonally to make the selection. When you release the mouse, the clip appears in a note container along with any hyperlink, as in the example in Figure 38-11. Figure 38-11. The screen clip appears as a new note.
