Screen Clipping and Unfiled Noted

[Terry]

Hi All,

I keep OneNote 2007 open at all times and minimized. I have the Screen
Clipping icon on my taskbar set to Create Screen Clipping when clicked.

When I create a screen clipping OneNote puts in the Unfiled Notes. I don't
want that to be the default. I have a specific section in a specific
notebook that I want all screen clippings to be put. I want a new page
created for each new screen clipping. How can I make this happen?

I have a coworker that has his OneNote configured to do just this ... but
it's been a year and he has no idea how he did it.

Thanks,
Terry

Look in bottom right corner and you will see a small OneNote symbol in the
system tray. If you don't see it, click on the small chevron that points to
the left to show everything in the tray and you should be able to find it.
Right click on it, the pick Options, then pick Screen Clipping Defaults and
you will see 3 choices. Pick what you want and you are all set.

As I said, I have the icon on the taskbar. The Options you talk about are
not what I want to do. These options only allow the ability to copy to
Unfiled Notes. Read my original post and you'll see that what I want is ...
(well you can read it in the original post).

Thanks

If I take the screen clipping from OneNote itself, it ends up on the current
page. If I take it through the side note interface or Control-S, it ends up
in Unfiled Notes on a new page. Could that be the difference?

No, I don't think so. I've gone to my coworkers desk twice now and verified
how his works. In fact that's what prompted me to post this. I want mine
like his.

He has OneNote 2007 open all the time and minimized. He clicks the icon on
the taskbar, the screen turns gray, he draws his selection, and a new page is
created in a notebook named Reid's Notebook and a section named My
ScreenShots. This is his main notebook that has other sections such as
Projects, Programming Tips, SQL Queries, etc. The screen clipping is NOT put
into Unfiled Notes.

It is very cool the way his works. It was configured that way in OneNote
2003 before he upgraded to OneNote 2007.

Thanks,
Terry

Maybe take one more trip to his machine: if you go to "tools" "options" and
click on the "save" category, is his "Unfiled Notes Section" pointing to
RiedsNotebook.one on his c: drive?

YouBetcha your answer was right on the mark! My life just got better. I
almost feel like I owe ya something.

Thanks and have a Great weekend!!

Great. Just keep in mind that all your Unfiled notes will go to this
location, instead of their own place. But sounds like you will probably be
happy with that trade-off.

Brilliant! I never would have thought of that!
