Attaching a file or copying a file’s content to a note
Attach a file to a note to preserve a copy of a file or make it available in a notebook. After you attach a file to a note, you can double-click its icon to open it. You can also share a file attached to a note by sending the note via email (the attached file is sent along with the note).
You can attach more than one file in a note by using the File Attachment command.
Insert a file printout to copy the text from a file into OneNote and retain all the text formatting. After you insert the text, you can read and search it, but not edit it. Besides inserting the file text, OneNote inserts a shortcut icon to the file and a link to the file. You can double-click the shortcut icon or click the file link to open the file in its default application and edit it as needed.
