Screen Clipping and Side Notes

[catbrown]

Is there any way to have a screen clipping inserted directly onto a current
open OneNote page? Also, when taking more than one screen clipping in a
session is there any way to avoid having a new side note open for each
clipping (unnecessay since each new clipping is on a new side note page
anyway ... just clutters things up and makes more work).

PS. I just discovered OneNote and love it. And, no, I don't have a tablet PC.

yes just open one note and leave it in the page or folder where u want
clippings inserted, i.e open it then minimize it, then go ahead through the
clipping process

Yes, but how can I make the "create screen clipping" icon work so that screen
clippings are all inserted into a single page, instead of one screen clipping
per side note page?

I don't know if catbrown meant this by their question, but I create screen
clippings almost exclusively by mouse clicking on the ON icon in the
notification area of the taskbar. I don't open onenote, and mouse through
the mouse sequence:
ON/Insert/Screen Clipping

As a result, I have to re-organize all of my screen clippings, each and
every one, and place them within the proper section and proper page. It
would be much better if I could opent the appropriate page and insert screen
clippings onto the current page after hitting the ON icon in the notification
area.

Also, does anyone else wish that the superb IE linking function extended to
other applications too? I love clipping web pages and having the www link
automatically generated. If only I could clip a portion of a PDF file, and
have a link automatically generated to the PDF path/filename

FireFox, Word, Excel are the ones I know about (if you copy&paste things
from them). I posted about this issue a few days ago:
What OneNote can show you about the source is actually dependant on the
application the content was pasted from. For example, if you pasted the same
text from a webpage in FireFox 1.0 and IE6, the text pasted from FireFox 1.0
didn't have the source information you are talking about. That capability
was added only in FireFox 1.5 and since then only could OneNote display it.
I don't know if the Adobe PDF reader actually provides this information via
the clipboard.
You should try copying & pasting something from Word or Excel into OneNote.
I don't know for sure what 2003 does, but 2007 will say "pasted from" and
then the file name.

Thanks, Patrick, for answering the question about the extended source
information ON provides for screen clippings in some applications (IE6, Word
2007).

Does anybody know if this capability will be provided for PDF files anytime
soon? Is there a PDF reader that will provide this information, given the
fact that Acrobat 7.0 does not?

Thanks!
