Importing and Exporting Information in Notebook Software
Notebook software allows you to import files, page templates, pictures and text into the current Notebook
file. A variety of import methods are available, so your choice of method largely depends on the kind of
information you want to bring into the Notebook file.
This section explains how to:
•
attach files, shortcuts to files and links to Web addresses (URLs)
•
insert page templates and pictures from a Gallery collection
•
import pictures from a file or scanner directly into a Notebook file (without using a Gallery
collection)
•
capture entire screens, windows or screen regions using the Screen Capture tool
•
print files or selected pages from another application into a Notebook file using the Print Capture
function
•
cut or copy content from other applications, and paste it into a Notebook file
•
drag and drop content into a Notebook file
•
export a Notebook file as a PDF document, HTML file or series of image files
