Let's star with are they text or printouts? And are you running OneNote 2003
or 2007? It sounds like they are printouts or scans of the articles, not the
text of the articles. In this case, if you are using OneNote 2007, right
click the article and select "Copy text". Then paste the text elsewhere on
the page. That should get you the text of the article.

Before you use the text anywhere, make sure you are following standard
quotation and attribution rules. Get permission to use the pieces too as
needed.
