One Note 2007 screen clip link in Firefox

[Tablet Convert]

User of One Note 2007. Have moved form IE6 to Firefox.

Want to be able to preserve the website link on a screen clipping (actuated
via OneNote 2007 icon in notification area, and auto-sent to Unfiled Notes in
ON 20070.

When clipping is taken using IE6 as the browser, the clip is saved in a ON
'note' WITH the website link attached (from web page where clipping had been
excised). However, when Firefox is used as the browser, the 'clip' is not
save/transfered w/ the website inof/link. Is there any way to have the 'link'
functionality in place when using Firefox as brower??? Thanks!

If you are copying & pasting from that Firefox version into OneNote, you
should see the source. Can you try that and confirm that works for you?

Excuse my obtuseness Patrick (and iIreally DO thank you for your aid!), but I
remain a bit confused re: what you wrote re: copy & paste.'

Copy & paste, when using IE6 (or when doing ANY Screen clip form ANY window)
was always done automatically, i.e. into a new UNFILED note, via the single
click on the ON icon in the notification area (and then the subsequent
completed 'selection' of the screen-shot area taken). Of course though, when
it had been from a WEB PAGE viewed in IE6, all the Web-link data had been
automatically moved into the new UNFILED NOTE below the screen-clip
itself....but in Firefox, all I get automatically in a new Unfiled note is
merely the screen-clip (in the same way that I get such clip, without 'source
info', whenever I use the ON 2007 screen-clip notification-area icon feature
to 'clip' anything on the screen from a 'non-Website-based source.'

As such, am not quite sure what you mean by cut and paste---as I'm indeed
NOT manually doing such task when taking the clip.

If you'd like to send me your email address and assuming it accepts and
immediately shows HTML email, I would be glad to send you a clip from any WEB
page (at it appears in a new UNFILED NOTE) from the SAME page that I would
clip after accessing it via IE6...versus after I would clip after accessing
it alternatively via Firefox.

Thanks!

Tablet Convert, you can accomplish what you want, but you have to do it in
two steps in Firefox: take a screen clipping, go back to FireFox, and
highlight some text on the page, and copy and paste it under the image in
OneNote, just to get the hyperlink. I agree, FireFox doesn't do what you
want directly.

Patrick:

A screen clip (pressing "windows button"-S) provides a footnote consisting
of hyperlink to the source, if the clip is of an image in IE. Here's part
of the footer from a screen clipping of this discussion groups page, when
taking a screen clipping of it in IE:
-----------------------------
Discussion Groups Home
http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx
Screen clipping taken: 5/17/2007, 6:55 PM
-----------------------------

Doing the exact same thing with a webpage in FireFox, you don't get the
hyperlink:
-----------------------------
Screen clipping taken: 5/17/2007, 6:56 PM
------------------------------

If you "copy and paste" (highlight something in FireFox), ie, press
"Ctrl-C", then go to a OneNote page and press "Ctrl-V"), you do get a
hyperlink, but this only seems to grab text.

aAh hah, a bit of bad news....but I do very much thank you for your reply.

Is enough to make me consider a move to IE7 (because IE6 is indeed behaving
a bit whack) inasmuch as I greatly value the auto-link that goes w/ a screen
clipping into ON 2007. I think it's one VERY attractive feature in the app,
because I regularly clip the salient info/image from a website rather than
'saving to file' the whole page. Gives me the info I need re: any future
quick glance, yet preserves the ability to go back to the source if I need
further info (or have to send the whole page to another source). Usually
though, i end up sending just the clip WITH the link, so latter can likewise
see the MIAN INFO I had in essence 'circled' w/ the link to further detail.
Not being able to have this cool ON 2007 feature in Firefox (w/out going
through a multiple step process) is therefore indeed a great dis-incentive to
using Firefox, notwithstanding its other fine attributes. Plus too, have lost
all my Omnipass auto links that are intact in IE6....and, interestingly
enough, when I opened the reply (in my email) to your and Patrick's emails
and it opened in Firefox as the default, it did NOT bring me to the whole
'discussion group' page, but rather to only the message/reply itself. Is
obvious that MS certainly DOES build-in advantages to using its own browser
vs thired party ones, especially when extensibility to other MS programs and
'pages' (including its User Group) are a dynamic at play.

Thanks agin for your input. Will post what you sent me in GottaBeMobile
forum where I likewise had posted question, but to date had not rec'd
answer...but which is indeed a great forum as well.

Sorry, I had over read the word "screen". I thought the OP was talking
about the clipping feature in IE, whereby you press the OneNote button
and get a copy of the website into ON (same result you'd get via copy &
paste).

Is enough to make me consider a move to IE7 (because IE6 is indeed behaving
a bit whack) inasmuch as I greatly value the auto-link that goes w/ a screen
clipping into ON 2007.

Well, just be forewarned that currently IE7 reports the link in a
secondary tab session as the primary (farthest on the left). not the
actual tab the clipping came from, when used with OneNote. No big deal,
but something to be aware of in use. I.E. if the links matter use a
single tab browser, copy the location to the first tab, or close off the
other tabs.
