Capturing Web Pages and Snipets

[rosco]

I'm new to this interesting product, and haven't been able to find one
feature which I'm sure must be there.

Sometimes I like to capture pieces of web content for research purposes. In
the past I was a happy user of Onfolio. Currently I use the "ScrapBook"
extension for Firefox. Is there an extended web page snipet capability
built into OneNote 2007? I've noticed if you use Internet Explorer 7 it has
a "send to OneNote" command. However, from my brief use of this feature it
seems like it's really nothing more than a copy-paste. Formatting isn't
faithfully maintained. From Firefox it seems like copy/paste is your only
option (although by first creating a page via "ScrapBook" you can use it's
editing tools to clean-up misc elements of the web page your not interested
in capturing).

I feel like I must be missing a whole big section of OneNote 2007. Can
someone tell me where to find this capability.

web page snipet capability built into OneNote 2007?

a) copy+paste
b) screen-shot

I've noticed

Yes. But it makes thinks much easier as one does not need to switch to
ON.

Formatting isn't faithfully maintained.

Yes. This depends on the page's construction.
Usage of frames and tables may lead to odd layout problmes.
But it's not too difficult to enable the view of table frames/lines
und delete what's not needed.

From Firefox it seems like copy/paste is your only
option

Yes. FireFox does not work with ON-icon which works in IE.

Do you have to do anything extra to get the Win+S key to work because
mine doesn't.

BobB shared these words of wisdom:

No. It works right away.
