If copying and pasting text and graphics from a Web page to a page in your notebook doesn't seem to properly retain the formatting, try capturing the information in a screen clipping instead. On the Insert menu, click Screen Clipping, and then drag the pointer to create a rectangular selection around the content on your screen that you want to capture.

To see when a block of notes was last written or updated, right-click the paragraph handle preceding the text in any note container. The last two items on the shortcut menu will show you when the text was created or updated, and by whom.

To move an item, such as a block of text or a picture, so that it appears over or under another item on the page, hold down ALT while moving the item.

Before sharing your notes, check for spelling mistakes. Press F7 to open the Spelling task pane and start the spell check. If the task pane is already open, click Start Spell Check.

you can save notes as a Web page. On the File menu, click Publish Pages. In the Publish dialog box, click Single File Web Page (Publish a copy) (*.mht) in the Save as type list. After the file has been created, you can send it in e-mail, copy it to a shared location on a network, or publish it on a Web site.

Use different colors to identify participants in a live sharing session. Ask each person to use a specific pen or font color when he or she adds notes to the shared page. For example, you can type your notes in blue text and use a blue pen to mark up a diagram. Another person can use green text or a green pen. Add a list of names and corresponding text colors at the top of the shared note page so that session participants know who is typing or writing.

Use OneNote to help you study for an exam. If you take notes by using an outline format, collapse your outline down to the highest level of information, and then quiz yourself about the details hidden in the collapsed levels.

To temporarily disable the grid, hold down ALT while you move an item on the current page. To permanently turn the page grid option on or off, click the Snap To Grid command on the Edit menu.

You can put your computer in standby automatically or manually. Automatic standby is handled by your computer through the power scheme settings. If your computer is idle for a specified period of time, it goes into power-saving standby mode. Manual standby requires you to specify an action that puts your computer in standby mode—closing the lid of your computer, pressing the power button, or pressing the sleep button. You can also select standby when you shut down Windows from the Start button. For the best management of your battery power, you should consider initiating both automatic and manual standby.
