Move to the file where you want to add the screen capture (this doesn’t have to be a OneNote page) and use your favorite Paste command (mine is + V) to insert the screen clipping.

Next, a dialog box displays to indicate the OneNote notebook, section, and page where you want to add the screen clipping.Drag to select the area you would like to save.Right-click the OneNote icon in the Windows Notification area (on the right side of the taskbar), and choose Take screen clipping or press Windows + + S.Hopefully, Microsoft will hear these complaints and suggestions and reintroduce a more comprehensive snipping tool feature in the future, or maybe. I think you can get two images to line up horizontally adjacent each other in a data-box-window-thingy, but it is a bit tricky. You can place objects adjacent one another, but you have to open up a new data-box-window thingy that is adjacent the previous data-box-window thingy. > and going off topic a bit, it would be nice if OneNote did not so rigidly stack objects in a vertical spread, so that they are not easily placed horizontally adjacent one another. I don’t think you could do this with the old OneNote snipping tool. If you could paste the snip and any combination of the URL, time or date into any document, not just OneNote, that would be nice as well. > have the option to have OneNote also include the URL, and/or the time and/or date with the paste. > as before, to have the option of copying the snip to the clipboard, with maybe the added option of automatically copying the snip to both a OneNote location and the clipboard > display a OneNote navigation window immediately after the shortcut is pressed (as before), to quickly and conveniently choose the copying location, as well as to set a default location in case you are copying multiple snips to the same location in OneNote That the Snipping Tool in Microsoft OneNote were customizable. But if I had to choose, I would rather every snip include the URL, time and date, rather than exclude them. Sometimes, I don't want the extra info, especially when I'm pasting multiple snips from the same site, so the extra info can become a bit of a redundant clutter. The automatically added URL is nice if you need to go back to the webpage at a future date. I liked that the URL, and the time and date would automatically be included underneath the pasted snip. When you past the snip, which you now have to do by using the conventional method directly in OneNote, the snip is pasted, but NOT the URL, or the time and date.

Now I'm discovering another even more frustrating drawback.


So, now after I press and select a snip, I have to then open up OneNote manually, and then navigate to the location where I want the snip pasted. I sort of new about the shortcut before, because that was the only shortcut that would work for me. That elimination I survived and found ways to get around, although I would still gladly welcome that feature back. I like that when you took a snip using a keyboard shortcut, that a window appeared where you could quickly navigate to the Notebook location to copy the snip to. What Microsoft did with the OneNote snipping tool is a let down! It does seems like retrogression.
