Interesting tip: Pasting to Windows Messenger

J

Josh Einstein

Here's an interesting tip. When you copy content to the clipboard in
OneNote, one of the formats on the clipboard is a regular bitmap image. Well
Windows Messenger has a hidden but really cool feature where if you paste
into a conversation (CTL+V, I've found you need to do it twice the first
time) it will actually take the bitmap contents of the clipboard, save it to
a temp file, and send that temp file to the person you're having a
conversation with.

Because it's just a bitmap, the other person sees the content exactly as it
should look and it works with all kinds of OneNote content such as ink,
formatted text, clipped images, etc.

Also, this feature works for any clipboard bitmaps in Windows Messenger. So
you can also send screenshots to people easily by doing ALT+PrintScreen then
pasting into Messenger.
