In this lecture, you're going to learn how to attach files and insert printouts into your notes. Attaching files means that you're actually attaching a copy of the file to your notes, and the file will appear as an icon that you can double click on to open an edit. So the file can either be stored locally on your computer or out in the cloud. printouts are different with a printout, you're actually inserting a printout of the file within your notes. Since it's a print out, the pages of the file will appear as pictures within your notes. This means that cannot be edited like normal notes, but you can resize them just like you could a picture.

You can also add annotations and highlights and make it searchable. Inserting printouts and file attachments is done through the Insert tab. So you'll want to make sure you're on the Insert tab and you go to the files group. We'll start by inserting a File Print out so we'll click on the file printout icon. Once you do that, it's going to take you out so you can navigate to where the file is located. Find your file, highlight it, and click the Insert button.

What it's going to do now is it's going to actually print the file into your notes. Once it's done, you'll see you have the printout within your notes page. what it also does is it gives you an attachment of the file, so you could click on it if you wanted to go to the location, open it up and edit it from there. Below is where you have a printout of the file that you've selected. And you see I've got my points so I could shrink it if I wanted to make it fit on my page. To make it searchable, what you need to do is do a right click on it.

Go to make text and image searchable and make sure English is selected. If you do not want it searchable to a right click, make text searchable and click the disable button and it won't make it searchable. Once you make it searchable, you can go ahead and search through the document specific words. So if I come up to my search area, click the down arrow to tell it where I want to search this section, or I can tell it find on this page. And it'll go through and it'll highlight the words. So I can go through and search for specific information.

So this is the file printout, it prints the file just like pictures into your notes. And it gives you a copy of the file as an attachment. So you could click on it and open it in its native program. The other option we have is inserting a file attachment. Again, you go to the Insert tab, the file group, and click file attachment. It'll take you out so you can navigate to where your file is.

Select your file and click the Insert button. Now when you do this, it's going to give you the insert file dialog box and you have your two options. Attach File, insert print out, Attach File. If you To this option, all it's going to do is give you a copy of the file as an attachment. We go back, choose the second option insert printout, it's going to print the file to our notes. And also give us a copy of the file.

So this is exactly the same option as doing the file printout. So remember, if you only want to copy the file as attachment, you're going to go to the Insert tab files group, click file attachment, highlight your file and choose Attach File only. If you want it to print your file and give you an attachment, you can do it through either option File Print out is going to do it file attachment and clicking the insert print out option will also give you that so one has a couple extra clicks, and the other is right there on your tab. In our next lecture, we're going to start working with that content in more detail
