I have tried all of this and still have the same question. Is there an easy
way to select, cut, and copy just a PORTION of a One Note page? Text seems
to be easy to do, but I can't find a good way to do just a PORTION of an
image.
The screen clipping feature apparently does not work within One Note. When
I click it from inside One Note, it leaves One Note and wants to clip from
the last screen viewed (usually my desktop). Is there something else I could
so.
