Screen clipping/Screen grab

[burgersnfries]

I don't know if ON has one.  But since I'm not fully migrated away from EN, I still normally have it open.  So when I need a screen grab, I use Evernote's.  By holding down the CTRL button before letting up on the mouse, that sends the grab to your clipboard, where it can then be pasted into your Onenote page.

I'm also still utilizing the EN annotation feature for screen caps.  I take an EN screen cap.  The annotation portion comes up, with the screen cap in it.  I make my annotations, then do another screen cap of the finished product (holding down the CTRL button so it goes into my clipboard) and then click DISMISS on the Evernote annotation box.  This still sends a copy to Evernote, but I delete it.  And then I can paste the annotated image in my Onenote page.

There is probably a better way to do this, but this is what I'm doing right now.

There are 2 ways to screen clip to 1N:
1) on the page where you want the clip to be, place your cursor on the desired location. Then go to Insert on the ribbon, there you'll see a button "Screen Clipping". Click on it & it will take you to the last browser page you were, a translucent layer will be placed on it & a big + appears. Drag the + across the part of the web page you want to click & release. The clipping is placed in the exact location where you want it to be on the page.
2) go to the web page you want to clip, select with your mouse the part of the page you want to clip, then click Ctrl+C, go to your 1N page & click Ctrl+V. This will give you the clipping + the URL of the page @ the bottom of the clip. Method 1 does not give the URL.

If you have Windows you may have the so-called Snipping Tool that comes with it. Using that is the same as Method 1 above.

I use Firefox, for which there is an addon called Clip-to_OneNote. This si similar to method 2.

None of this is as good as the EN web clipper or Clearly.

I have not yet found a way to annotate clippings, though apparently there is.

Thanks.  Now that you mention the first option, I do remember doing this, when I used ON a lot before.  Thanks for the reminder.
