 Nikki asks, I began using OneNote for my journal. Among other things, I pasted text from a Word document. A text box did get copied, but looks like an effort to engrave a book on a postage stamp. Highlights that were added with a surface pen in the Word document appeared when pasted over, but not where they're supposed to be. Am I asking too much of OneNote? I like that I added for the surface pen, the way it appeared when pasted. It all depends to me on how did you go about pasting? Yes. There are five or six different methods of pasting you can keep source formatting. It sounds like in her case, she may have merged the formatting. There's about four different ways of doing that. It didn't just no way of telling without her explaining what way she went about that. That's my first thought too, is that because it being a Microsoft product and they're integrated, you should be able to grab everything from Word and paste it as is in OneNote. That should be possible. I've done that with highlights and underlines with multiple colored fonts. All of that should translate with the correct paste. Yes. The other thing is she's talking about the surface pen in the Word document and it appeared when pasted over. So is she talking about it going into Word? Highlights when added with a surface pen in the Word document appeared when pasted over. So it's coming over. And look, information inside Word as well, is it inside a container? A lot of times people put things into Word and then have actually like they might be doing an org chart. Like another layer, like a layer over it. Yes. So they do an org chart kind of thing. But then they do drawing or they'll put an org chart or create whatever, but they haven't put it inside a container in Word. So therefore it shifts and moves around. So when you go to copy and paste it over into OneNote, you might be better to break it down and go, okay, well pull in certain components and where do you want them and not do one just big copy and paste number one. Do you know? So they'd say where you want it in the document. If you're, because your Word in the way that it's structured is different than OneNote. To know OneNote is about a continuous page. So the copy and paste, when you're bringing it over, you've got two different style of document when you're looking at the XLSX and the building of it as you start to bring it over. I mean, the alternative is you can, depending on what you're trying to do, you could print to OneNote instead. So there is that printed in, yeah? But I mean, it is gonna be a picture. A lot of the times when you print it in, is it the text that you want out of it? Right click, copy the text out of the picture and drop it into OneNote. Was that way to be able to go? I think just break down a little on your copy and paste. Try not to do like a massive document. And it's like, well, why? Why are you copying a massive document over into OneNote? What is the reason for it? Well, because she started using OneNote for the journal, which is the better place for doing the journal anyway. It is for journaling. Yeah, yeah. And she also said that if she's using the stylus and she's doing other things and scribbling other notes, typing some things in there, converting script into text, capturing other image and things. I mean, all of the things that you wanna do and keeping that historical view of content. It's searchable. I mean, Word is meant to be like standalone documents. So if you have a running Word doc, this is getting more and more pages versus OneNote, which is, that's what it's for. I have notes in my OneNote that are more than a decade old. Oh, yeah, same. And I can still searchable and then go back and access. And all that history is there and it's in the cloud, and it's, OneNote's one of my favorite tools. Yeah. But yeah, so it's- The fact that they've, Nicky stated, the fact that with copy, it looks like an effort to engrave a book on a postage stamp, which to me means that the word journal that she's been using in the past is particularly big. Like it's a big, it must be big for that to, that kind of come in. You know, you often will get it where you've brought information in from elsewhere and it is small on the page, but it's inside a box and you can just drag it out. So is it a picture that's dropped in? So therefore it's small. You can just extend out. Is that kind of the issue? It's like, if it's gone to a book on a postage stamp, you kind of go, well, it's limited down. Is it just because the page is also zoomed in? Because there's so much content, it just does a zoom in for you so you can see it. And do you need to zoom back out again? Because you can zoom in and out on the page. So you kind of go, well, it's hard because if you're not seeing it, you're not quite sure what actions are being taken. Yeah. Well, it's, yeah. Again, depending on how you paste that over, if you're grabbing, if you're selecting all on a Word doc on a page and it includes text box within it, then it'll try to create that. It may, you may have had no formatting on it, no line around it and now it's, the line is appearing over that object around that object. I mean, there's a lot of things that could change around that. So yeah, it just depends on what you're doing. I mean, yeah, so it's not clean. There's no clean way to move it from word over to one note if you've done a lot of formatting in that, but you're in the right place now for ongoing. If you can get 80, 90% of the formatting over there, then that's a, I would call that a win. And you're the right place and you're safe to make those changes and going forward. The other nice thing about that is that, again, the print to one note is an option as well, but you have the opportunity to go through and read through your writings again and highlight all over the opportunity. I mean, I was just like, do you need to bring it over? Can it just stay and then you start from here and now and move forward journaling in one note in the right place where you should be doing it now to get together like it's a book. And do you need to bring all that content over? You know that it's, you know that it's there. You could also do pages where you just insert a file printout. So it's kind of the word document that you've dropped in. It's another print option. So your print is an image. So then it will maintain all the formatting that it sees, but then it's not as useful. Right. Yeah, it's PDF. So if you do a file, I mean, you just drop it in as a file printout. Then on your covering page in your book, you could then just do, here's the link and create like a table of contents effectively. So you can just do a right click on anything and just copy the link from the page sort of thing and then create a bit of a table of contents like bookmarking it on a front page to try and find where things are. And that might help you out a little bit more. Yeah.
