Hi, welcome back to the second part of a lecture on taking notes. In this section, we're going to discuss taking link notes and inserting notes from the web. Using link notes allows you to dock one note to a side of your screen. So you can work within other applications on the other side. So it's kind of like splitting your screen, having the app open on one side, and one note on the other side, so you can take notes to create your links. This gives you the ability to automatically link your notes to what you're working on.
Link notes works with Internet Explorer, or 2016, PowerPoint 2016, and other OneNote 2016 pages. So it's great no matter where you're doing your research, you can link that information specifically back to notes within OneNote. I want to start by showing you how it works with Internet Explorer. So I'm going to go ahead and open up my Internet Explorer. That's great page five fun facts about Tetris. This is what I want to link back to my note.
So I need Go to the command bar. Now it's not showing my link notes information here. So I'm going to click on my double arrow. And I'm going to go to OneNote linked notes. Once I click on that it splits the screen and to give me my link notes on the right side, and I've got my Internet Explorer on the left side. Now the first thing I need to do is tell it where I want to put this page.
So it's going to open up the Select location in OneNote dialog box. From here, I'm going to navigate to the page where I want to put it. So I'm going to scroll down to my another notebook. And this one I have in Project two, so I'm going to click on that to expand it out. There's my link notes, Internet Explorer page. That's where I'm going to put it.
It's just a blank page I had created. say, Okay, I'm on the page that I've created. I'm going to click in my box and I'm going to start typing my note for this page. Now, you'll notice when I typed it gave me the Internet Explorer icon, and when I hover over it, it gives me The page that I have selected, this is the link that is created to this page. Now if I come down farther, let's type another note for another location. Click on a different location.
So we'll click on this one, I find out anything can see it created the link for that page as well. So now if I close out of everything, close out of Internet Explorer, come down to my other notebook. There's my two notes that I took. If I click on the thumbnail, it's going to open up the link. There we go. I click on the other one, and it opens up the other link.
So it's great for when you're doing research on the web and you want to take notes and you want to link back to the page that was on. You can do the same thing for word. So I'm going to go ahead and open up Word and I'll open up a document. Now what I need to do is I need to open up my link. So for Word and PowerPoint The link is under the review tab. So I'm going to click on the review tab, you've got your OneNote group linked notes.
So when you click on that, it's going to split the screen again, just like it did when we were in Internet Explorer, you've got the page on the right side, and you've got your Word document open on the left side. Now again, it's going to open up the slack location of OneNote. So you can choose where you want to put this page. So I'm going to come down to my project to again, and I created another blank page called Word and that's where I'm going to put it. So I'm going to click within my document. This is exactly where I want my link to be.
Come down. Scroll to anywhere within your document and create your link. Now before we close this out, I want to show you your your options. So if we go to the top right, you've got a link button with an arrow. If we click on this, it's going to take us out and we've got the option to go to linked file, delete the links on the page, we can stop taking link notes. And we can also open up the link notes options within OneNote options.
I've made the notes I need. So I'm going to close out of everything close out of my document. Let's go back to OneNote. In order to see how it worked with Word, we're going to navigate to the word page that we've created. So we'll click word. There's our two links.
And again, you see it put the thumbnail and it gives us information about it when we're highlighting it. So let's go ahead and click on John's update. Now, because we're opening up another document, it's going to give us the warning about it. You can tell it not to show this warning again, I'm fine with it. So I'm just going to click OK. It's going to open up my Word document and it takes me to John's update.
So that's the nice thing about being able to take link notes within Word or PowerPoint documents. You can click specifically within the document where you want them To be linked within PowerPoint works exactly the same way, it's under the review tab and you click the link notes option. Let's go ahead and do link notes within OneNote. I'm going to go to my Microsoft notebook. I'm going to go to my storage. I've got all my information about OneDrive.
And I want to link it back to the document that I'm working on on another page. So I'm going to come up to the review tab and click link notes. Once I do that, it's going to do the exact same thing as it did within Word and Internet Explorer, it's going to open up on the right side of the page on the left side is going to have one node and then it's also going to ask me to select the location for the OneNote. So I'll come back into my another notebook, open projects and I'm going to section to a project to OneNote say okay, I'm in my OneNote and here's my link. Again, it gets me the thumbnail. With the information about it, and it links me back to the page.
So now if I close out of this, come down to my leather notebook in OneNote. Click on the link, and it takes me back to that page. The last thing I want to show you is how to insert notes from the web. This is different than creating the links within OneNote. What this will do is it will send a page to OneNote. So you can capture all of the information.
So I'm going to go ahead and open up my Tetris page, Internet Explorer. Now that I have my page open, I'm going to come up to the command bar, click on a double arrow, and click Send to OneNote. Now I'm getting a warning from my Internet Explorer security that a website wants to open a web content using this program on my computer and it's showing that the program is Microsoft Office and go ahead and tell it to allow it. It's going to bring up the Select location in OneNote asked me exactly where I want to put the page. So I'm just going to come Down to another open projects project to say okay, and here's my page with all my working links. Let's see it named it five fun facts about Tetris, which was the name of the page.
So it's a great way to get information from the web stored in OneNote if you want to keep all the links intact, also five different ways that you can take notes within OneNote you've got the obvious typing your notes, handwriting, your notes, recording audio or video notes, taking link notes from other programs such as Internet Explorer, or 2016, PowerPoint 2016 and OneNote 2016. And then you can also insert the web page within your notes. In the next lecture, we'll go over inserting pictures into OneNote pages.
