\n<\/em><\/strong>The Functionality Limits of Paragraph Links in Microsoft OneNote<\/a>\u00a0-KM<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0*<\/div>\n

Creating links to notebooks, sections, section groups and pages in Microsoft OneNote is one of the\u00a0key\u00a0features that I like to point out to people considering using OneNote for the first time. Considering the fact that\u00a0said links are practically unbreakable, it’s a huge win for projects that are in the planning stages – as page titles may change, but with\u00a0OneNote\u00a0there’s no need to waste time\u00a0updating broken hyperlinks to avoid the dreaded removing 404 errors…<\/p>\n

(I have discovered one potential issue for unschooled users who like to cut\/paste pages instead of move\/copy pages that could cause OneNote to not function as expected.<\/em> I’ll update this post with a link to the new blog post once it’s written – stay tuned.)<\/p>\n

So I was very pleased when I discovered that OneNote also allows you to create links to direct a user to a\u00a0specific location on a page (like anchors tags would on a website.) The best part is that it’s two-click simple:<\/p>\n

Here’s a step-by-step example of how it works:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Insert cursor at the start of a paragraph – in this case next to\u00a0your favourite dessert\u00a0item –\u00a0mine is Tiramisu<\/strong> (hint hint).<\/em><\/p>\n

\"onenote-paragraph-link-cupcake-01\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Right click and select the Copy Link to Paragraph button in the menu.<\/p>\n

\"onenote-copy-link-paragraph\"<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Navigate\u00a0to a different page and insert cursor on\u00a0said page. Paste (Ctrl + V)\u00a0the paragraph link on the page. As you can see the paragraph link displays \u00a0most of the first line of text in the paragraph. (Don’t worry –\u00a0it can be changed<\/strong> – right click and select Edit Link and then change the text in t he Text to Display field.)<\/em><\/p>\n

\"onenote-paragraph-link-cupcake-02\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When\u00a0a user clicks on the Paragraph link, OneNote opens up the page the paragraph text lives on, and highlights the paragraph in gray.<\/p>\n

\"onenote-paragraph-link-cupcake-03\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong> If you’ve linked to a paragraph several scrolls down a page, OneNote is smart enough to scroll down to that portion of the page for you.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for a future post where I\u00a0try to push this functionality to see what it’s limits are\u00a0to answer such questions as:<\/p>\n

1. Can you link to text in a middle of a paragraph?<\/em><\/p>\n

2. Will the link break if the paragraph text is moved to a different page? A different section? A different notebook?<\/em><\/p>\n

2. Will the link break if the page the\u00a0paragraph text lives on is moved to a different section? A different notebook?<\/em><\/p>\n

In the meantime, Happy Paragraph Linking<\/strong>!<\/p>\n
