Pictures in Notes

Putting pictures in notes

There are several ways to put a picture (*.bmp, *.dib, or *.jpg formats) at the top of a note:

Drag and drop a picture from another application onto a note. Drag and drop a picture file icon onto a note. Select a note, then Paste a previously copied picture from the clipboard. Click the Select Picture button from the Picture tab in Note Properties. Notes: The picture will be clipped to fit into the note. Only 1 picture can be placed in a note, and it will always be at the top of the note.

Setting picture properties

Select Properties from the Note Menu and go to the Picture tab (or right-click on a picture in a note):

Click the Select picture... button to insert a new picture from a file. Click the Clear picture button to remove the picture from the note. If you wish, you can enter either a URL (website address) to go to, or a command line to run, when the picture is double-clicked. --Make sure to include the complete URL: http://www.3M.com is OK but www.3M.com is not. --Or you can use the Browse button to find a file to run. If you type in a path, put quote characters at the beginning and end. For example: "C:\My Folder\runthisfile.exe" Enter a short Tooltip to display when the mouse is over the picture. Select a Picture transparency option. You can display all colors in the picture, treat white as transparent, or treat the color at the upper left corner of the picture as transparent. Select Alignment of the picture on the note (left, center, right).
