Linked notes will link back to the source file, and the location, when you
took the note. It's pretty cool, actually to have a note filled with
hyperlinks back to where you were in Word, PowerPoint, or the Internet
Explorer.
To see how it works, use the following steps:
- In Word, open a previously saved file that contains multiple pages and
navigate to another page.
- On the Review tab, click the Linked Notes icon.
- You'll be asked where you want to store your notes and OneNote will dock
itself on the side of your Desktop.
- In the docked OneNote pane, add a note.
- Close the Word document and hover your mouse over the note you just took.
Click the Word icon next to it.
Result: The Word document will open and navigate to where you were when you
took the note.
Try the same in a PowerPoint file or on a Web page. If you close the OneNote
pane, in IE you'll find the Linked Notes option under the Tools menu.
If you don't see the Linked Notes button on the Review tab:
- Click the File tab to open Backstage view and click Options.
- In the Options dialog box, click Add-ins.
- At the bottom, under Manage, select COM Add-ins (if necessary) and then
click Go.
- Select "OneNote Linked Notes add-in"
