Windows + S

[Mike]

I can't seem to use the Window's + S combo to clip items from other
applications. I am able to clip items using the clip button on One Note.

I should have mentioned that I'm using a Gateway Laptop with XP.

Sounds like the onenoteM.exe process shut down.

Try this - click tools \ options \ other
The top checkbox there should be Place OneNote icon in the taskbar.
Toggle it off and then back on and click OK
Now try Windows + S

Hi, I do not mean to hijack this thread but would someone
tell me a bit more about this Windows + S clip function?

Thank you

Jim -- When you have it turned on, OneNote allows you to make
clippings from the screen into OneNote notes. Follow John's
instructions:

Try this - click tools \ options \ other
The top checkbox there should be Place OneNote icon in the taskbar.
Toggle it off and then back on and click OK
Now try Windows + S

to enable this in your Windows system. Once you've done that, you
should see a little OneNote icon in your system tray (on right end of
the taskbar near the clock).

By default, whenever you press Windows-S the screen will be sort-of
"grayed-out." Click and hold at one corner of the area you wish to
"clip," then drag the cursor to select that area. When you let go, it
will create a new OneNote page and paste a copy of that information
into the note.

Thanks, Steve.

For some reason that function flew right past me at some point in time.

Once I learned the purpose of it I find it works fine.

One thing about all this computing rigamorol is that even after 20 years or
so there just ain't no letting up on the learning curve. You otta try that
with sa ever case of CRS sometime. ;-)

Again, Thanks

I just want to say that this is a truly brilliant feature of OneNote. There
are web sites where, for copyright reasons, they let you look at an image (or
whatever) but won't let you copy it. They obviously haven't heard of ON! You
can just copy the image in to OneNote and, from there, save it wherever you
want on your hard disk.

I know exactly what you mean about the learning curve. Sometimes I
think things in computerdom are advancing so fast I'll NEVER catch up.

CRS in my vocabulary means "Can't Remember $#!+" -- is that what you
meant?

Or you can always go into your IE cache and get it from there....

Yup, That is exactly what I was referring too. ;-)

But, OTOH, once you can get real selective with it then it just ain't so
bad.
