How do I properly export an image I created in One Note to Word?

Asked by melofellow (4points) September 26th, 2009

I created a diagram in One Note and I want to copy it to Word. But when I copy and paste, each individual element is copied under each other. In other words the diagram is not preserved. Is there any way I can achieve a preserved diagram?

I have no idea what One Note is.. but can’t you export to an image file? most software have the option to export to PDF or image formats that you can later import into Word.

If it doesn’t you can always copy the screen and paste.

One way to do this (assuming you’re on windows):
1. Open the diagram, making sure its all displayed at 100%
2. Click PRINT SCREEN button on top right of keyboard
3. Open MS Paint.
4. Go to Edit> Paste the image
5. Crop it and save as JPG file.
6. Import into Word.

Ya I thought about doing that, but One Note is a notebook type program. So when you take “notes” it is as if you are typing on lined paper. So if I took a screenshot, the diagram would be on top of lined paper, and this won’t look to nice on top of the white background in Word that I am posting on. Thanks though.

Place your diagram or all shapes onto the drawing canvas.

In word, when you create diagrams there are two ways.
One, as most common, we create shapes and texts and place them as we want. In this case, when you edit other parts of the document the parts of the diagram so created get mis-placed or moved.
If you don’t want such thing to happen and keep all shapes together, create a drawing canvas first and place all shapes and text onto the canvas. The canvas keeps them together. To create one, go in shapes and find drawing canvas there (word 2007).
