Send To OneNote button does not send images, sends only text

[Carolus]

Send To OneNote does not send images only text.

I am using Outlook 2007, IE 7 and Home and Student 2007 full versions.

When I click the Send to OneNote button on a mail, only the text is
transferred to OneNote. The same problem exists in IE 7 when clicking the
Send to OneNote button , no images, only text is moved to OneNote.

I have used Chris Pratley's blog "OneNote 2007 and Outlook: Best Buddies"
for testing purposes: only text, no images are transferred.

How to solve this?

Interesting.... I just tried it and I get both the images and the text.
(Hadn't tried it in a while, so didn't know what I would get.) I even played
around with the paste options and can't get the text only result you are
getting.

Can you do a test? If you do a print to OneNote instead of a Send to OneNote
(both from Outlook and from some other program), do you get just the text,
or do you get the graphics then? I am thinking that you may have set the
printer to somehow print only text....But, since I can't find where one
controls what the Send to OneNote printer prints, you may still be stuck...

Are you running on Vista or on Windows XP?

I am using Windows XP. After installing Outlook 2007 I have installed Home
and Student 2007.

Then I added the RSS feed to the OneNote blog of Chris Pratley into Outlook
2007.

While reading the previous referenced article in Outlook I did click the
Send to OneNote button.

OneNote 2007 started but transferred only the text, not the images.

Then I tried this in Internet Explorer 7 using the same article, however
with the same result.

It means that I manually had to copy and paste each image from the Outlook
reading pane to OneNote.

Kathy, I did the test you recommended. All pages with text AND images from
the Outlook article are available in OneNote.

However these are of-course not editable any more, so no notes can be added
in OneNote.

Meanwhile I get the feeling that images are only transferred to OneNote if
they reside in a table format on the original page.

[Carolus]

Erik, I watched your instructive video and tried the same thing in an open
Outlook 2007 mail on the earlier referenced article.

Again only the text is copied to ON, not the images.

[Kathy Jacobs]

This is really strange. I can do the Send to OneNote for any Outlook item
and the whole thing goes over, no matter whether it contains pictures or not
and no matter whether it is in a table or not.

I knew the Print to OneNote wouldn't meet your needs, but I was hoping that
if the print didn't work either it might provide some clues. Since one works
and the other doesn't, I am truly stumped.

I will see if I can get some testing done on a Window XP system to see if
the problem is there. We may have to wait for Monday when the OneNote team
is available to get a solution...

Meanwhile I get the feeling that images are only transferred to OneNote if
they reside in a table format on the original page.

After skimming thru these posts for a few months, 'drag and drop' finally
stuck with me last week.

Print to one note from a web page, on my WinXP 2003/OneNote 2003 system,
moves every thing but the formatting. It was more practical to highlight a
section or ^A /^C a page then open the OneNote window and paste.

After reading about drag and drop, I either ^A or highlight with the cursor

bottom up<, then drag and drop into OneNote. Pictures and formatting

transfer fine.

If needed, I can research for a software package that captures portions of a
web page for copy or print. I found it while research web page video
capture, but it's hidden in 252MB of notes.

(Interesting name you have!).

I use SnagIt for the screen captures you mention. OneNote had a screen grab
function built in as well, but it only grabs the stuff as a picture.

I use screen capture a lot if all of what I want is in the display.

Is SnagIt the software that will capture a frame even if it extends off the
display?

Does it move the data to the clipboard or direct to another window?

I have scoured every forum I could find for a solution to this problem
and I am still unable to fix it. I am running Vista home premium on
both 32 and 64 bit PCs (I know there is a problem with the printing on
the 64 bit computers, so I am not concerned with fixing it on that one).
-When I send from IE's powertoy, I get no images. -When I send from
firefox's send to onenote add-in, I get no images -When I right click in
firefox or IE and copy and image, then paste to onenote, I get no image.
-When I take a clipping with the Windows + S key and paste, I DO get an
image. -When I print to onenote, I DO get images (but I do not want to
print to onenote, as this makes the text uneditable and effectively
inserts PDF-like pages) What I need is to be able to highlight text w/
images mixed in, in a browser, and send the whole thing to onenote. Is
there any solution?

 

[David Olsen]

Is it only ON? Does cut & paste of images work with Word?

Is it only images in browsers? Can you cut an image from a Word document
and paste into ON?

Also, try IE + Send to OneNote without add-ons:
Start-Programs-Accessories-System Tools-Internet Explorer (No Add-ons)

Had this same problem. Found out that this feature only works
correctly for HTML formatted messages. To test this you can make sure
your default email format is HTML then copy and paste the contents of
a message that won't send to onenote correctly into a new message,
send it to yourself, then use the send to onenote feature.

Unfortunately, you can't control the format of email messages that
people send you but in our case we were able to set the email format
to HTML for our entire organization.

Not sure if the inability to send RTF messages correctly to OneNote is
a bug or if it is as designed, but I'm pretty sure this is your
problem.

 

[carpente63]

This feature only works correctly with HTML formatted email messages.
RTF messages only send the text but no pictures and incomplet
formatting at best

Not sure if this a bug or working as designed but set your defaul
email format to html, compose a message including formating and images
send it to yourself, then send to onenote

Hope this helps

This thread is not about mail messages!
So your reply does not help in finding a solution.

I just noticed my previous post was all one block of text. I don't

know what happened to my line breaks... you have to type the tag
manually here?

Anyway, I tried selecting a webpage with text and images and pasting
into Word. The pictures were merely appropriately sized placeholders,
not actual images. I tried right clicking an image and pasting it into
Word; the same thing happened as when I highlighted the image. When
pasting into ON, only the &quot;Pasted from &quot; appeared.

Win+S works for screen caps, so I know that my office suite CAN handle
pasted images. I also opened an image from the hard drive, right
clicked Copy in MS image previewer, and pasted it just fine into Word
and ON. It seems that the problem is only with images directly from the
web. I have no idea why this might be... running IE with no addons
makes no difference, and I have tried two other browsers (safari and
flashpeak slimbrowser) and no luck.

Does Office handle images from the web differently? Are there
differences in images on the clipboard based on where they came from? I
don't understand this at all.

Are you running IE7? Would it be worth upgrading to IE8?

You seem to come through some gateway which I never heard of.
Why don't you use a NewsReader and subscribe for the Newsgroup.
You have either Outlook Express or WinMail available. Both work fine for
any kind of NewsGroups.

There seems to be something really strange with your system.
Things marked on a webpage in IE and pasted into Word works fine for me.
And pasting from Word into ON too. All images appear.
The same with everything marked in IE and pasted into ON (be it manually
or with the "Send to OneNote" button in the IE IconBar.

I have no idea at all what might wring with your system causing such
strange results :-( :-(

Normally not.

Are there differences in images on the clipboard based on
where they came from?

There are some technical differences (as it's often mixed content). But
I'm not knowing anything on the details.

I don't understand this at all.

Me too {siiiigh}
