Sending from Word to OneNote

[lisapagz]

Is there a way from within a Word document to send to One Note as an embedded
document? The only feature I can find is to print the Word document to the
One Note Printer.

For me, the Send to OneNote Printer is effectively embedding the document in
OneNote; there is also Copy and Paste.

Try the Insert/Files...and select the word file you want.

Thanks for the info. Question - Is this an option from your "Send" menu or
are you selecting from the "Print" menu and printing it to One Note. I can't
seem to find a option in the "Send" menu to send it to One Note. When I
print to the One Note print driver, it actually looks like a printout of the
document, not an embedded document that I can click on to open.

I am using the Vista OS and MS Office 2007. Not sure if that makes a
difference.

You can also print from Word or Excel to OneNote.
Click on [Print] as you would any other print job.
When the printer dialog opens choose the printer [Send To OneNote]. Click
[OK]

Your document will appear in OneNote as an image and you'll only be able to
resize it (make it larger or smaller). You'll be able to type/write/doodle,
etc. on the image but you won't be able to edit any of the text.

But if you [copy] and [paste] you'll be able to edit the text. (And you
should be given the option to "save source formatting," "use distination
formating," etc.)

To "embed" it, or in other words "pin-it-down-so-it-won't-move," right click
on the "image" and from the drop down menu check the box next to "Set Picture
as Background."

This can easily be undone by right clicking the image again, then uncheck
the same box.

If you choose Not to embed the image/picture as a background, it can be
easily moved, whether on purpose or not, which will throw off all you
"doodles." For that reason, I use "set picture as a background."

And, finally, if you're sharing it with other people and you don't want them
to edit anything but welcome (or "need") their input (and their "doodles")
then it would be wise to "set picture as a background."

If you just need the basics, these options a whole lot easier and far more
effective (and cheaper) than having to use Adobe.
