Hello,

I'm a new user - still playing with the trial version of one note. It is my
understanding from the reading and watching the videos that I should be able
to copy/paste or drag/drop information from a website AND have it
automatically give me the link of where the information came from.

The link is not showing up. What do I need to do to correct this.

If it matters, I'm using XP, my firewall is norton and the permissions allow
for one note to do what it needs.

Suggestions?

Thanks!

Any chance you're using Firefox as your browser?

Have you downloaded and installed the Send to OneNote from Internet Explorer
powertoy?
http://office.microsoft.com/en-au/assistance/HA011408961033.aspx

It's free and it places a "Send to OneNote" button on your IE toolbar.

Highlight what you want on the webpage (no cutting or pasting required),
click the button and it will appear in ON, complete with a hyperlink to the
source.

Another thing to check: Go to Tools--> Options, Editing Category and see if
there is a check in the box for "Include link to source when pasting from
the Internet". If not, check it and that should fix the problem (if you are
using IE).

I have both IE and firebox, and generally use firefox.

I did go back and try it with IE, and the links do show up there. So am I
to assume this feature is not available when using firefox?

Thanks!

 

[Barbara]

This was already in place.

I appreciate everyones suggestions...thank you!

Barbara

 

[Barbara]

I have not, but I'll take a look.

Thanks!

Yup. Firefox doesn't place the link information in the clipboard properly,
the way IE does, which is why it doesn't work.

Hi Barbara
Try the web site links from a trial version of Evolution software and see
this software will do what you want with linking web site information to ink
pages. http://www.tabletevolution.com

I could've sworn that this functionality exists in the recent Firefox
1.5 betas.

I do seem to recall hearing something about Firefox fixing that problem in a
more recent build, but I can't confirm it.

It may work in the betas, but I just tried it in FireFox 1.0.7 and it isn't
working there.

I have both IE and firebox, and generally use firefox.

Evernote works better with Firefox.

As well, Evernote functions much better that OneNote for "web
collection" of data.
The categorization and autocategorization in EverNote would yield
benefits for you.

www.evernote.com

If you often use Text and INK in the same notes, EverNote cannot do
that.

Evernote information is also entirely exportable to .mht files which
give you a great way of getting your information out, if you migrate to
another product.

Good luck.
