Throughout the day you see lots of information you might put into OneNote. You can collect clippings, maps, diagrams, photos, pictures of products for purchase, and so on. To do so, either capture the screen with shortcut keys or clip the screen with the Send To OneNote command.

1. Arrange the screen, and then do one of the following:

   • To capture the entire screen, press PRTSCN.

     

     Note:  On some keyboards, the PRTSCN key might appear differently.

   • To capture an active window, press ALT+PRTSCN.

2. Go to In OneNote, and then to paste the image, press CTRL+V.

Note: Some devices lack a Print Screen key. Check the manual that came with your device for specific instructions.
