Link to Word or PowerPoint

Quick reference

• 00:04 In this video, I want to show you how to link to a Word document or
• 00:07 a PowerPoint document.
• 00:09 Let's go back to our Quick Notes.
• 00:12 And I'm going to make another new page.
• 00:16 I'll just call this one Links to Word.
• 00:20 So I'm going to come over here and we'll pick on the Insert menu, and
• 00:24 we'll pick on File Attachment.
• 00:30 So at this time, I'm going to go ahead and pick a Word document.
• 00:35 So I can really link to any kind of file, but in this case,
• 00:39 we'll use a Word document.
• 00:44 So I'll even choose the labels here, and I'll pick on Insert.
• 00:51 I can attach the file.
• 00:54 Let's see what that one looks like.
• 00:56 And then you see the document there.
• 00:59 So then if I double-click on that document, then it'll bring me right
• 01:04 into the Word document as you can see, all right, and then I can change it.
• 01:09 I'm actually in the Word document at this time.
• 01:12 I'm going to close that, and close out of Word again.
• 01:17 Let's try the other example.
• 01:19 So I'll pick on a File Attachment and I'll use that same file.
• 01:23 I'll use the labels again, and I'll pick on Insert.
• 01:27 This time, let's try Insert Printout and see what that one does for us.
• 01:34 Now it's going to run through this, in this particular case I'll pick on Yes.
• 01:46 Now if I go back into OneNote, let's see what it gave us that time.
• 01:50 See how it actually put the text from that Word document into OneNote
• 01:55 instead of putting in the link that we did here?
• 01:58 So that was kind of an interesting one.
• 02:02 That was the file printout.
• 02:04 This time, let's try a link to a PowerPoint presentation.
• 02:08 So I'm going to add another new page here, I'll pick on Add a Page,
• 02:13 and I'll call this one Links to PowerPoint.
• 02:17 And I'm going to go ahead and pick on File Attachment again.
• 02:21 And this time I'll point to a PowerPoint presentation,
• 02:25 all right, there's one, and I'll pick on Insert.
• 02:29 So you can use any PowerPoint presentation that's going to be on your computer.
• 02:33 I'll pick on Attach File, now, when we do it this way, it'll add the link that way.
• 02:38 So I'm going to double-click on that icon, and
• 02:41 that'll bring me directly in the PowerPoint.
• 02:44 So now we're in PowerPoint and we can edit that file.
• 02:48 Let's close that PowerPoint, and now I'm back into OneNote.
• 02:53 Let's try the other way.
• 02:55 So I'll pick on File Attachment, and I'll use that same file again, all right?
• 03:01 So you're just going to use a PowerPoint presentation from your computer.
• 03:04 I'll pick on that one, pick on Insert.
• 03:08 Let's try it this other way, where it says Insert Printout.
• 03:14 You can see it's going through that just like it is on mine,
• 03:19 and now see how all the text from that PowerPoint is in OneNote.
• 03:25 So you can either get the whole text, that was the file printout, or
• 03:29 if you just get the file itself then you get this icon.
• 03:32 And when you double-click on that icon, then it would go into the PowerPoint or
• 03:37 into the Word document.
• 03:38 So now we can see how we can link our OneNote into
• 03:43 either PowerPoint or Microsoft Word.
