Subject: ZoomIt with OneNote Screen Clipping Problems
Posted: 04 February 2014 at 9:27pm
Hello,
I have been using ZoomIt during presentations for a long time. Ever since I upgraded to Windows 8 and ZoomIt 4.5 I've been having problems when trying to take a screen clipping using the One Note Screen Clipping Tool in that as soon as I press the One Note Screen Clipping shortcut (Windows + A on Win8) any annotations I made get erased. I haven't been able to consistently reproduce this problem. Sometimes it works and then all of the sudden it stops working. When it stops I've tried everything to get it back and haven't been able to find a way to get it to work again. After awhile, usually a reboot it starts working again. Here are the steps of how I use it:
1. Enter Live Zoom
2. Annotate
3. Press Windows + A to select an area to clip and send to OneNote.
When this works I can select the annotated area and it gets sent to OneNote. When it doesn't work all annotations get erased. This is extremely frustrating because I tend to annotate a lot while explaining. I know I can save the screen or copy it but using the OneNote Screen Clipping tool really saves me a lot of time and it is a very convenient to share the annotations with people. If it helps I usually use PowerPoint and Visual Studio while I'm using ZoomIt.
Does anyone have any advice as to why this may happen and how to get it to work once it happens?
