Go to the menu bar of IE8 that is at the same level as all of your tabs (where you would expect to find “Send To Onenote”) find the “>>” button.

Click this and you should find “Send To OneNote”

To have it show up on your Toolbar: Tools -> Toolbars -> Customize -> Either grab “Send To OneNote” and drag it up to the top OR select it and click on the “Move Up” button.

Yes, search capability is a strength of OneNote. If you want to search pictures/images you need to make the searchable by right clicking and selecting the “make searchable” option.

Not a link. But you can link the Excel spreadsheet itself, or place a copy of it in a page.

Another thing that you can do is to copy all the cells from your spreadsheet and paste them into OneNote. A OneNote table will automatically be created. Obviously, it doesn’t have a live link into Excel so you won’t have Excel funtionality.

Are you talking about other applications printing into OneNote first?

If so, select “File” -> “Print” -> Change “Name” to your printer instead of “Send to OneNote”

Maybe it is a problem with the beta version. When I search using the “search all notebooks” box in the upper right corner, I get results for both the literal string (top hits) and for the individual words.

By: BillK

BillK — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 23:14:18 +0000

Yes, to a certain extent.

Select the object, right click, select “copy text from picture”, paste where you would like. You can even keep most of the source formatting.

I just bought this program from Best Buy because I was looking for an OCR program and he told me this program had one in it.

I know the beta is over but I’m constantly frustrated that I can’t search for a literal string. For example, I want to search for “Microsoft Outlook”. I get lots of entries that Microsoft and Outlook (too many to go through). Then the navigation through these is painful and error prone.

What must I do to have OneNote search for the exact string I type?

I was attempting to print something and now it sends everything into OneNote. However, the printing is off. How do I get it to print straight to my printer instead of going through OneNote first. I do not like being forced to go through another program.

Hi, i use a OneNote2010 Version from our MSDNAA site in school. But i get the same error like its mentioned here: “When I try to share a notebook in a Web location, I get the error message “This service is currently not available.” What’s wrong?” Will the MSDNAA sites get an update to fix this? Or is this another new Problem?

When I print to (send to) OneNote 2010 as I used to do with 2007 I get the error message “OneNote cannot find a page on which to insert your printout. Navigate to a page in your notebook and then try again.” So I open a blank page in my notebook and try again and get the same message. What am I doing wrong?

In the drawing tools it would be useful if one had the option to attach the lines to the objects, so that objects can be moved around with the lines attached. This would be useful when sketching relational and component interaction models, etc.

I have the release version of OneNote installed and I’m getting the ‘This service is unavailable’ message when I go to share to a Web Location. I thought this was supposed to be operational after the beta was over. I can save 2010 Word docs to SkyDrive okay – why not OneNote?

Use OneNote 2007 all the time. I use Send to One from Word 2007 and other programs, but can’t seem to find the mechanism to “Send to OneNote” either in a dropdown menu or an Icon button on a Ribbon in 2010 version.
Is it there yet?

I am using sharepoint and for some reason embedded files (only those that show they were inserted from a temp file) aren’t opening if the temp folder is gone. Yet I can email myself the page with those files and then open the files. Seems like OneNote doesn’t check the Sharepoint server or local OneNote cache when requesting to open an embedded file in all situations, though the files are there.

Why are the ribbon categories collapsed instead of in view as in other Office applications? When you click on a ribbon tab the ribbon opens to show the categories, but cover up the top of the OneNote page.

I have yet to find anything on the video conference recording system. How does one adjust the video correctly. I made ten test using different kbs settings and there is this stupid Selection at the top asking: When Playing linked audio and video, rewind from the start of the paragraph by the following number of seconds: What the heck is this about and how does one get the video and voice to match without the video jerking around. I have tried 256kbs Thur 1400kbs .
