Lesson 5 – Adding Objects to your Notebook

L INKED N OTES Sometimes you might need to take notes with another application open to see what you are writing about and, as an added feature, you can link the notes to the application. As you take notes, OneNote creates s thumbnail image of the application page, a text except, and a link to the document or the web page. Linked notes work with the Dock to Desktop option in OneNote (View tab > Dock to Desktop). The docked OneNote window is docked to the side of the screen while the application you need to see takes up most of the screen.

This feature is supported in Word, PowerPoint, and OneNote.

Use the following procedure to create linked notes.

1. In Word, PowerPoint, or OneNote, select the Review tab.

2. In the Notes group, select Linked Notes . 3. In the Select Location dialog box, select a section or existing page for the notes. If you select a section, a new page is created. 4. In the docked OneNote window, start taking notes.

OneNote stores a page thumbnail, an excerpt of the text, and a link to the document. Move the mouse over the notes to see details about the linked file.

Click a thumbnail to open the associated file.

To view a list of linked documents, delete documents, or change options, click the chain icon in the top left of the OneNote screen.
