Inserting a Picture or File

If the contents you want to capture already exist in a file outside OneNote, you can insert the information. Inserting information works much the same as opening a file: You give a command, navigate to the folder holding the file to insert, and select and insert the file.

When you insert a picture, the image appears on the OneNote page, where you can move or resize it as desired. You might insert a picture that shows a look or idea that you’re after, or that you want to use to illustrate some other document at a later time. (You can copy and paste the picture from OneNote.)

There are two different ways in which you can insert a file. A regular insert operation displays a hyperlinked icon for the file on the page. Double-clicking the icon opens the file in its home application. Or, to display the file’s contents on the OneNote page, insert the file as a printout. In that case, a special OneNote print driver outputs a version of the file’s contents that display on the page along with an icon for the file and a hyperlink to the original document.

To insert a picture, file, or printout, use these steps:

1.	Click in the page at the location where you want to insert the item.
