Onenote hyperlink and C&P problems

[BlueWolf]

Hey guys I am new to Onenote but I have a very annoying problem. When I
hyperlink text within onenote and put the hyperlink where I want it to
go in a subsection onenote for instance, it shows the full extension
path as the title and not the text that I selected. I know its easy
enough to edit the hyperlink and add the text thet I want to show as my
hyperlink but thats so annoying :frown:

I also noticed that when I copy and paste anything that is highlighted
or in a different color like this *"David Gemmell*" it actually pastes
as plain black like this "David Gemmell".

I have uninstalled on several occasions and the above mentioned
problems do not happen on a fresh installation for a little while but
normally within a few hours of installation these problems occur, and it
really has me baffled

Are you just selecting text or other content, and not creating a link to a
specific paragraph/page/section/notebook? Does this issue occur only when
C&P *from* OneNote *to* OneNote? Do you get hte PAste Options menu when
you paste anything? From there you should be able to select "Keep Source
Formatting" to retain font formatting from the copied text.

Does changing the related options in Tools | Options | Editing | Editing
Section help or change the behavior?

Thanx Erik that worked fine for retaining my text formatting :biggrin:

As to my other problem concerning hyperlinking text, what I do is
highlight the text "copy hyperlink to this paragraph" go to the section
in notebook where I want the hyperlink in this case its the same
notebook on an index page, paste the link and instead of the copied text
showing as the hyperlink I get the full extension of that link.

If you just paste with nothing selected, the text of the hyperlink will be
pasted. If you want to apply the copied link to an anchor of text, select
the text first then press Ctrl-K which will bring up the standard Office
hyperlink editor dialog box.

Thanx Eric works like a charm
