Anchoring objects on top of screen clipings

[lorgair]

After doing a screen clipping that was inserted into a OneNote notebook page,
an arrow was drawn over the top of the clipping to draw importance to a
specific part of the clipping. However, when the container with the image is
moved, the arrow does not move with it. Is there a way to anchor the arrow
to the image clipping? This would apply to text added over the top of an
image / clipping as well.

Unfortunately, no.

Anchoring, or grouping elements on a page, is high on the wish list for the
next version of ON.

Thanks John,

I did discover that if the Section is saved as a WebPage, it does in effect
hold the arrows in place. However, saving as to MS Word was a dissaster.

I also did some experimenting. Seems you can take the first screen
clipping, then superimpose the new image onto it, then take a screen
clipping of the combined image. Finished result is attached.

Yes this is viable as a workaround.

A professional instrument for doing it in one run is SnagIt. It has
fantastic features for taking screenshots (even of scrolling windows)
and commenting and manipulating them (as well as any other images of any
common file-type), f.e.:
ftp://ftp.hs-heilbronn.de/vdb/onenote/programme.jpg

It's well worth the money and it's one of the most used apps on my
computer (well, besides ON <gbg>). Pls see here.

To check it out download the fully functional demo/trial version.

Finished result is attached.

From you dBASE days *] you might remember that attachment in most
NewsGroups - although technically possible - are a true NoNos. So in the
MS NGs.
In future cases pls upload images to some file-sharing website and put a
link in here.

days when CompuServe was the medium ..

Thanks, I was unaware of the restriction, so will try to remember that
in the future.

The name does sound familiar. Sorry to hear of his passing. What
happened?

OK, fine. There's tons of free sites for uploading images meanwhile.
And it's easy enough to activate IIS an create one's own FTP-site.

For sure. In the CompuServe days he managed it all.

Sorry to hear of his passing. What happened?

It's one of the most sad things I ever came across in the dBASE cosmos.
He committed suicide - no one in the community has an idea why.
His mobile phone still is active and with *his* voice telling "Michael
Rotteck died on July 17, 2008".
Very sad.
As said, he was one of the most important guys in our German dBASE
community {siiiigh}.

I created a youtube video on how to do it.

Thanks for posting the workaround.

Problems remains that working with screenshots this way multiple times
makes the resolution worse.
