Use the Send to OneNote Feature

Quick reference

• 00:04 In this video, I want to show you how you can use Word or PowerPoint or
• 00:09 Excel or Outlook to then send something directly into OneNote.
• 00:14 So now I'm going to go into a Word document, and then this is the way
• 00:19 you would do it either in Word or PowerPoint or Excel or Outlook.
• 00:25 I'll pick on the File menu, and I'll just pick on Print.
• 00:30 File, Print is one way that we can do it.
• 00:34 And then you click on the pulldown where it says Printer, and
• 00:37 then in that list you should see OneNote.
• 00:39 So I'll pick on OneNote there, and then we'll pick on Print.
• 00:45 And then it's going to ask you well, in this case, I have issues with the margins
• 00:50 in this particular document, but that's not a big deal, so I'll say Yes there.
• 00:55 And now, notice how the OneNote icon is blinking down at the bottom.
• 00:59 That means something is going on with that.
• 01:01 So I'll pick on the OneNote, and now it's asking me which notebook I want to put
• 01:06 that into, and I'll put it into our Quick Notes, and I'll click on OK.
• 01:12 And then let's see what's going to happen here.
• 01:14 It made a whole different page, and
• 01:16 then there's that exact text from the Word document.
• 01:20 Let's try it from Excel.
• 01:22 So I'll go back into Excel now, and
• 01:26 here I'll open up a different Excel file.
• 01:31 This one's fine.
• 01:33 So now I'll pick on File and
• 01:37 then we'll pick on Print.
• 01:41 And then for the printer, you will pick on OneNote there,
• 01:45 that should be available for you.
• 01:47 And then I'll pick on Print.
• 01:50 So again, notice how the OneNote icon is blinking.
• 01:55 So once you know which notebook we want to put that in,
• 01:58 I'll pick on the Quick Notes again, just for practice, and I'll click on OK.
• 02:02 And now that made a separate page out of the Excel spreadsheet.
• 02:06 You can really see how the programs in Microsoft Office or
• 02:10 in Office 365 all really tie together.
• 02:13 So I'm just trying to show you how to get the information from the other programs
• 02:17 into OneNote.
• 02:18 Let's go back to PowerPoint and the same thing would apply there.
• 02:21 So just use any PowerPoint document that might be on your computer.
• 02:28 So again, same kind of thing, right?
• 02:30 I'll pick on File, Print, and one of your printers should be OneNote.
• 02:38 Pick on Print.
• 02:40 Again, your OneNote icon should be blinking at the bottom,
• 02:44 it's going to ask you which notebook you want to put that into.
• 02:47 I'll use Quick Notes of course, naturally, you can pick on any notebook,
• 02:52 right, and I'll pick on OK.
• 02:54 And now it made a page out of the PowerPoint pretty easily.
• 02:59 And let's see if we can do that from Microsoft Outlook.
• 03:03 I'll go into Outlook again.
• 03:06 If you pick on File, Print, and then here, OneNote is one of the choices.
• 03:11 Now in Outlook, you would pick what you want to print.
• 03:15 So let's go back to the calendar for example,
• 03:19 and then I'll pick on File, Print.
• 03:23 OneNote is my printer.
• 03:25 I'll pick on Print there.
• 03:27 And then once again, the OneNote is going to be available.
• 03:33 I'll pick on the Quick Notes, click on OK.
• 03:36 And now, it made that into its own separate page as well.
• 03:41 So that was a really great choice being able to send information from Word,
• 03:46 PowerPoint, Excel, or Outlook directly into OneNote.
• 03:51 You just do a File, Print, and
• 03:53 one of the printers should be OneNote and it shows up just like that.
