You can literally click anywhere and type. The first thing you probably want to do, however, is create a title for whatever document you are creating.
Then you can see here that it's automatically a date sit, which is a big feature, because what's unprecedented about it is if you ever need to see, "Hey, what were those notes that I took that date Was it?
Now, when it comes to entering any type of text in your document, you can click literally anywhere, and you can type here, or you can type there, if I "there" I can write It is much more effective when I nail. The other thing I want to mention here is that you too are not bound by the text. I want to throw a quick tip at this point - how was that? - On you, something that makes the experience of exactly one note so much better. He is the OneNote Clipper. Now, the easy way to achieve this for Mac users, PC users, I'm sure it's very similar.
I just don’t know what it is. Go up here to where it says OneNote, and you can see here it says, “Install OneNote Clipper Note.” This is going to use your default web browser, so if you have other web browsers you’re going to need to install it separately on them. In the case of Safari, just click right here to get OneNote Web Clipper.
In my case, you can see I already have it installed, but if I didn’t it would say, “Install here.” Just follow the directions. It’s very simple. I want to take a moment to show you how to use this Web Clipper, because it is something that really makes it stand out as an awesome product.
A lot of times when you’re taking notes for different types of things, a lot of them are coming from different areas, and you're not necessarily going to create them all by hand. That’s what Word is for. OneNote is more an ability to incorporate other things, like web pages. Let’s go back for a moment to the example of the recipes here. Let’s say I’m trying to put together some recipes.
What I could do is I could go on my computer— we’re going to just wing this and see how it goes — to some sort of a recipe website. The one that I always think of is AllRecipes.com. I don’t actually go there, but for whatever reason they always pop in my head at first. We wait for the website to load. Let’s see here. Let’s grab something good, something that's going to make you all just go, Blueberry sour cream coffee cake.
What we’re going to do is, instead of that, check this out. If I go up here into my web bar — and apologies, but if you’re on Chrome it’s going to look a little bit different. I think on Chrome it’s over here on the right-hand side. There’s now this little icon here for OneNote Web Clipper. I’m going to click on that, and it gives me a few different ways that I can save this data.
Let’s start up here at the top, which is Full Page. That’s everything, but check it out. It does at least block out all the ads. The next one is Region. If you do Region, what it’s going to do is it’s going to basically turn your — if you can see my cursor, my cursor is now a cross hair. If I were to drag over this, it's going to take a photo of just that. I actually just let it do that. Now I can see the image that I’ve got here. If I want to add any other little text, I can kind of direct it where to go. Here we go. Internet Recipes. We'll put that in — I don’t know; I’d probably put that in Desserts these days — and hit Clip. Now it’s going to clip it, and it’s good to go, but I want to actually go back to where we just were, because there’s a much, much better way to do it.
My favorite is — check this out. It actually detects that it’s a recipe. Normally, it doesn’t say “Recipe” here, but it’ll say, I think, “Article,” I want to say. It perfectly chops out all the stuff you don't want. It’s perfect. I’m going to clip that as well. Let’s clip it. It’s going to save it just like that. The other option there that you saw a moment ago is the Bookmark option.
That’s just a really, really simple — it does give you a little thumbnail icon for those of you who are just going to end up pulling up the website on your iPad or whatever. That might be an option, but personally I like the fact that it really does figure it out, at least for this kind of thing. Just know that you have different ways that you can clip your information.
Now, at this point, I would like to demonstrate something, an issue that I’m sure you will probably encounter at some point in time. If you ever go into OneNote and you’ve clicked something and you’re like. The thing you always want to make sure, if you don’t see something there, is I want to just show you really quickly how to refresh it, because it doesn’t sync automatically all the time.
It does it periodically, but if you ever need to force it you can just go up here to File. If you look right here, it has either Sync This Notebook or Sync All Notebooks. Let’s just do that now. Make sure we get all up-to-date. If you look up at the top, it says it's syncing.
Now, if I go into Desserts, check it out. They are all here, those different ways that I’ve saved them. You can see it’s a really great way to kind of capture that information.
Don’t have to worry about all the other stuff on the website. It really makes it a lot more personal, I find. Another thing I want to just show you real quickly here is that if you ever want to reorder any of these, you can literally just drag and drop them, If you don’t like the way that it’s doing it, no problem.
The next thing I want to go over relatively briefly is what you see up here at the top of my screen. This is called the “ribbon.” We have four different tabs on the ribbon. We have Home, Insert, Draw and View. Here under Home, one of the things I want to mention right here is the Paste option
