Note-taking in OneNote tends to be a fluid process. Text, handwritten notes, images, and embedded files may need to shift on the page to make room for other related content. Inserting space splits a single text container into two. This gives more flexibility to moving the containers around on the page, and individually formatting the text and the associated containers.
- [Narrator] Take a peak at the text…within this notebook page.…Have you ever had a full page look like this,…and then realize it would be great…if you could just insert some space right here…for other content or imagery?…Instead of pressing enter or moving portions…of the text with copy and paste,…I am going to show you a power shortcut…that works more efficiently,…and it's called insert space.…Let's get started by finding this command…on the Insert tabbed ribbon.…Insert Space is the first command in the Insert group…located to the left side.…
Now, what I want to do is actually want to create some space…just above where my mouse is currently blinking.…By clicking on Insert Space and then moving my mouse…over this text area,…you'll notice that my mouse cursor has changed.…I have what looks like a gray bar…running across the page and a black down arrow.…What I'm going to do is I'm going to place this bar…right in the area where I want to start…creating that space.…Left-click and hold it down,…and drag in the direction I want to create the space.…
