When pasting an actual word or pdf file in OneNote for annotation, is there a 
way to insert someting similar to a post-it note so that the comments stand 
out and don't get lost in the original text? Acrobat has such a feature and I 
wonder if it is available either in ON 2007 or 2010.

Many thanks.

Hi there,

You can insert "flags" in OneNote to help make them stand out.

To add a note tag:

  
- Place the pointer in the paragraph that you want to tag.
- On the *Standard* toolbar, click the arrow next to  the *Tags*
  button, and then click the note tag you want.
  
I hope this helps!

OneNote 2010 has "Linked Notes," which should meet your needs.  You can read 
about how it works with PowerPoint at

It also lets you take notes on OneNote pages so that you can take notes on 
anything you print to OneNote, for instance.

Thanks for the tip. I still feel OneNote could do with something like the 
yellow comments in Acrobat. They are free standing and can be moved about 
freely and are very useful for annotation as you can superimpose them on any 
other text.
