Preserving hyperlinks in clipped pages Ben G. 4/15/2007 12:56:01 AM Wondering if there's a way to preserve the functionality of a webpage when it's clipped and inserted into OneNote. From what I can tell, the image of the webpage is saved into OneNote, and some aspect of it is searchable by OneNote. Yet the clipped element is functionally dead. Namely, the hyperlinks are broken, etc. #1: Is this correct? #2: Is there a workaround? #3: If #1 is true, will it be added to the feature list of the next version?

Re: Preserving hyperlinks in clipped pages "Erik Sojka (MVP)" <esojka[ at ]ms-onenote.net.nospam> 4/15/2007 2:35:01 PM Yes that is true. The clipping feature inserts the clipped portion of the screen as a picture, which is then OCR'd and indexed. That OCR can see the text of a hyperlink but cannot tell from the picture where the hyperlink went to. If you want to retain hyperlinks, use the built-in "Send to OneNote" button (installed with OneNote 2007; not available in ON2003) in Internet Explorer. =?Utf-8?B?QmVuIEcu?= <Ben G.

Re: Preserving hyperlinks in clipped pages Ben G. 4/18/2007 8:18:01 PM Thanks Erik. The built in "Send to OneNote" that's inside IE did preserve the hyperlinks. It's a bit imperfect, graphics missing, odd formatting. I asked for a work-around and got it, so thanks. First kudos. OneNote is fantastic and amazing. Now a request for a feature addition to version x.x : More stuff with hyperlinks. Be able to capture/clip a webpage/file/or whatever with its original formatting and at least its hyperlink functionality. Also, be able to spider down a website and insert it into OneNote. The same concept could possibly extend the ability to navigate within OneNote, with one note being able to point to another note.
