Taking Screen Shots with MS One Note

Determine if MS One Note is installed on your computer. If it is installed, the One Note icon will display in the Application Launcher under Microsoft

If One Note is not installed on your computer: Go to the Updates-Installs section of the launcher and open the Microsoft folder. Double click the icon: “Install One Note 2003”. A restart is NOT required, but the One Note application icon will not show up in the Launcher until you either restart or refresh the Application Launcher (View, Refresh from the Application Launcher menu).

Double click the One Note icon to open One Note. You will see information about a tour – it is not necessary to take the tour, so close the tour by clicking the X in the upper left corner of the screen. The important thing is that once you open One Note, a purple “N” icon will display on your status bar. You can go ahead and close One Note completely. As long as the purple note icon is in the status bar, you will be able to capture screen images.

NOTE: Even after you restart your computer, the One Note icon should continue to display in the status bar. If it does not, just open One Note to display it.

To take a screen snapshot with One Note:

· Make sure the image you want to capture is on the screen.

· Right click the One Note icon on the Status Bar and select “Create Screen Clipping”

· The screen will appear to dim.

· Drag your mouse around the area you want to copy.

· The image displays in One Note. (This is not important, you can close One Note)

· Once the area is copied, use Edit, Paste to put the image in a document or email.

· Note that One Note stores your clippings. Each one is on a separate page labeled “Screen clippings”. You can delete those pages if you want or keep them for reference.
