We looked to understand what they do when they copy and paste URLs, as well as the pain points they experience. This table would showĬlientA-name, type of job, estimated hours, % completeĬlientB-name, type of job, estimated hours, % completeĬlientC-name, type of job, estimated hours, % completeĪs I work on my project, the % complete numbers change and I’d like the result to be reflected in the summary list.Recently, we wanted to dig into how users feel about copying and pasting a URL from their browser. I want to look at this information in a list format for all my clients at once – a summary table. Each has their own section and on the first page of the section they have a job summary which lists the name, type of job, estimated hours, % complete. If it helps….what I’m doing…say I have 3 clients (A,B,C). The initial contents linked beautifully, but once I changed the contents on the individual table, the new data was not reflected in the summary table. I couldn’t do it at all with Excel sheets w/in OneNote and tried with the paragraph linking. (like you would in Excel where you had multiple sheets and the first sheet you could link to a specific cell in the later sheets.) Hi – I’m trying to link data from a table or spreadsheet on one page to another location. The Functionality Limits of Paragraph Links in Microsoft OneNote -KM two years later, I loop back around and get down to answering the questions I asked in this original post.

In the meantime, Happy Paragraph Linking! Will the link break if the page the paragraph text lives on is moved to a different section? A different notebook? Will the link break if the paragraph text is moved to a different page? A different section? A different notebook?Ģ.

Can you link to text in a middle of a paragraph?Ģ. Stay tuned for a future post where I try to push this functionality to see what it’s limits are to answer such questions as:ġ. Note: 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. When a user clicks on the Paragraph link, OneNote opens up the page the paragraph text lives on, and highlights the paragraph in gray. (Don’t worry – it can be changed – right click and select Edit Link and then change the text in t he Text to Display field.) As you can see the paragraph link displays most of the first line of text in the paragraph. Paste (Ctrl + V) the paragraph link on the page. Navigate to a different page and insert cursor on said page. Right click and select the Copy Link to Paragraph button in the menu.ģ.

Insert cursor at the start of a paragraph – in this case next to your favourite dessert item – mine is Tiramisu (hint hint).Ģ. Here’s a step-by-step example of how it works:ġ. So I was very pleased when I discovered that OneNote also allows you to create links to direct a user to a specific location on a page (like anchors tags would on a website.) The best part is that it’s two-click simple:

I’ll update this post with a link to the new blog post once it’s written – stay tuned.) ( 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. Considering the fact that said links are practically unbreakable, it’s a huge win for projects that are in the planning stages – as page titles may change, but with OneNote there’s no need to waste time updating broken hyperlinks to avoid the dreaded removing 404 errors… Creating links to notebooks, sections, section groups and pages in Microsoft OneNote is one of the key features that I like to point out to people considering using OneNote for the first time.
