> If you are doing that level of screen shot annotations, check out SnagIt
> from Techsmith (www.techsmith.com). You will find the screen shot abilities
> much more robust and the annotation abilities very impressive. (I am not

> If you want to keep using the OneNote screen clipping and drawing tools for
> your guides, then I recommend you try the following:
> 1) Select the picture and the annotations
> 2) Copy them
> 3) Open PPT.
> 4) Paste special as a bit mapped object or as a picture
> 5) Copy the picture again
> 6) Swap back to OneNote
> 7) Delete the old set
> 8) Paste the new set
