onenote screen clipping

[dunamis]

I think I saw it somewhere but can't find...but how to you place a screen clip with double tap on the pen to a specific notebook folder and specific page? Right now it automatically goes to a folder called quicknotes.

I thought if you set the cursor on the page you want and then do the screen clipping it will place there at the location as well, but this is not working....

Just go to the screen you want to capture and double click the purple "eraser" button.

Then simply draw a box over the actual part of the screen you want to capture. It will automatically then transfer it over to OneNote so you can resize, copy, place in another note....

I was surprised as well, dunamis. If a current note is open (especially split-screen), I expected the image to be pasted there (within current note), not a new quicknote... Worse, it's not easy to transfer that picture to the current note.

Oh well, maybe they'll fix it.

Really? Just hold down the select button and then tap on the image.... copy... paste....

That's how I do it now. But I saw that you can paste to any specific notebook or pages instead of having to cut our copy and paste back to another folder? Maybe I was wrong...

Hmmm...maybe you're right. I do seem to remember them showing it that way in one of their videos.

It doesn't work for me. It just opens one note.

If you go to settings, options for OneNote.... at the bottom you can select what notebook to use for quicknotes.

It does place it into Quick notes by default. But it also copies it to the clipboard. Just open any other Note, Word doc, email, or basically anything you can paste to, and then do a CTRL V and it will copy the screenshot into it.

thanks @fonzman78. you are correct...too bad it will constantly add to the quicknotes and have to later manually delete. But I guess that's that only solution for now. Or we can after clipping go to the quick note page and then do a delete and paste.

either way, I thought there was a way but I guess not.

Just pin the Snipping Tool to your taskbar. It's better.
You can do rectangular or free-form, snip a window or full screen, and do a bit of editing before you paste it even. It saves to your clipboard so just have to right-click -> paste into whatever OneNote page you want.

I wish double-clicking the pen top just opened the Snipping tool.
