  • 00:01 Let me go to a different page here.
  • 00:06 And let me show you how to add maybe a screen print from a different program.
  • 00:11 So, I'm going to call this page Screen Print.
  • 00:15 Okay, so, what you do is you go to any other program.
  • 00:20 It could be maybe an Internet browser or Word or PowerPoint or something like that.
  • 00:27 So, let me go to the Internet.
  • 00:29 So, let's say, I'll go up to disney.com.
  • 00:38 Okay and I'm going to go ahead and click on OneNote.
  • 00:45 Now watch, I'll pick on Insert and then Screen Clipping.
  • 00:50 It's going to go back to the most recent window, whatever that was.
  • 00:54 So, now I'm going to highlight the guy here.
  • 00:59 And now when I lift my finger, whatever I highlight is going to go into OneNote.
  • 01:06 So, it could have been any program.
  • 01:08 It could have been any program at all.
  • 01:10 I just happened to use the Internet that time.
  • 01:12 So, let's go back, you open up that window first.
  • 01:17 So, let me scroll down and find something else here.
  • 01:20 So, okay, in this case I'll use these pictures.
  • 01:24 So, I have that on my screen, right?
  • 01:27 I'll go back into OneNote.
  • 01:29 Let me make another page here.
  • 01:31 Okay, and I'll say Another Screen Print as a page name.
  • 01:40 Now, of course, this can go on an existing page, as well.
  • 01:43 So, I'm going to pick on the Insert menu, and I'll pick on Screen Clipping.
  • 01:49 It goes back to the most recent window, whatever that is.
  • 01:53 It could have been Word or PowerPoint or anything else here.
  • 01:56 I just happened to use the Internet as my most recent program.
  • 01:59 I'm going to highlight the things that I want, any part of that screen.
  • 02:04 When I lift my finger, that image, whatever you highlight,
  • 02:08 is now back in OneNote.
  • 02:10 So, that's an excellent way to capture anything that you might have
  • 02:15 from a different program.
  • 02:18 Here, it did put the date timestamp on that one automatically, as we can see.
