One of our users noted that OneNote for Mac documentation says that. The Mac version of OneNote can see the OCR info and has the Copy Text from Picture. Using Optical Character Recognition (OCR), OneNote for Mac can extract the text it recognizes in photos, screenshots, and scans so you can paste it elsewhere in your notes (or into another app). Learning Tools for OneNote is a free Add-in for OneNote that helps everyone improve reading and writing skills, including gifted learners, students with learning differences or a combination of any of a broad range of unique learning abilities.
In this document, we will show you how to move drawing, handwriting and ink with image.
Image inside Outline
In this example, we can see the image saved inside text outline.
To lock drawing with image, we need a text paragraph.
In this example, we insert text 'OneNote' below the image as caption.
Now, we can begin to draw and hand write on image.
After drawn, select all inks on image ( Maybe it will select some text ).
On image, maybe you have some handwriting, you need to convert them to drawing.
Right click on the selection, click 'Drawing' sub-item in 'Treat Selected Ink As' menu item, it will convert handwriting to drawing in the selection.
You can use 'Pick Up' feature to pick up these drawings in selection in Gem for OneNote.
Click 'Object' tab -> 'Drawings' group -> 'Pick Up' feature,
Gem will pick out the drawings from selection.
Now, you can see the selection change to just select drawings.
Anchor Drawings to CaptionAfter pick up drawings,
- Now, we select 'OneNote' caption to ready attach these drawings.
- Next, in 'Gem for OneNote', click 'Object' tab -> 'Drawing' group -> 'Pin Down' feature.
It will anchor these drawings to 'OneNote' caption.
When we insert new text before image, we will find that these drawings don't move down with image, OneNote place them in the original position.
This cause these drawings dislocated with image.
For these drawings which have pinned down, we can move them to correctly position by One Click.
In 'Gem for OneNote', Click 'Object' tab -> 'Drawing' group -> 'Refresh' feature,
This feature will move all drawings ( Pinned down already ) in current page to correctly position.
