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. | |
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.

Note
If you want to insert a plain hyperlink rather than a file or screen clipping, choose Insert Hyperlink. Type the URL to link to in the Address text box of the Hyperlink dialog box, or click the Browse for File button to select a file to link to. If you want the hyperlink to appear as a label or descriptive text rather than a URL or file path, make an entry in the Text to Display text box. Then click OK. Use the Insert Audio Recording and Insert Video Recording commands to insert recorded content.
