=Guide:=

Step 1: Open Microsoft One Note 2010 by either double clicking the OneNote shortcut on the desktop or selecting it through the start menu using the path:
 * 1) **Start icon**
 * 2) **All Programs**
 * 3) **Microsoft Office**
 * 4) **Microsoft OneNote 2010**

Step 2: Select **Insert**from the tabs along the top of the screen.

Step 3: Select **Record Video** from the options near the top of the screen.

Step 4: Video will begin recording as soon as the window appears showing what is being recorded. (**Record what you want NOW**)

Step 5: If you wish to take a picture press the Print screen key on your keyboard (PrtSc - above the equals key and backspace.)

Step 6: To stop recording simply close the window showing the video with the red cross in the top left of the window.

Step 7: Now you can either copy the video file labelled **Video recording** By right clicking on the video and selecting copy. (or selecting the video by clicking on it and then press **Ctrl** and **C** at the same time) You can now paste the video where you want it ( e.g. on a USB or the desktop).

Alternative step 7: If you want to view and save your photo (that you took by pressing PrtSc) go into whatever document or program you wish to insert the picture and paste by either right clicking and selecting paste or pressing **Ctrl** and **V** at the same time.

Step 8: You should then crop the picture so that only the video window is showing. (or what you want to show as a photo) By selecting **Format** and then **Crop**.
