How to use inline graphics on OneNote?

Question

I hope I'm asking this question correctly.

I'm using Office 365 (love it) and find myself using OneNote ALOT.  However, I'm running into a tiny weird problem.  I can't seem wrap text around graphics.  Rather, if I'm adding a graphic (such as a design I've hand drawn) and add it to the page, when I write text, it simply writes over my graphic rather than around it.  If I put the graphic in a convenient place so I can describe it with text, the graphic doesn't move as I add text before it.

In Word, for example, if I add a graphic, I can easily add text before the image and the image just moves down the page as I add yet more test....this way, I can keep the placement of the images in a logical order.

Is there some way to do this with OneNote as well?

Thanks much in advance!!

Answer 1

Onenote isn't a text processor like Word. So there is no automatic text arrangement.

If you want free space at a special location use Insert Space:

Thanks.  I appreciate the response, though I'm a little disappointed.  Very frequently, I'm attaching a graphic with a piece of text as a note (i.e., I want to snap a few photos or make a drawing or something) and want to write a few paragraphs about the image for later use.

While it's not impossible to do this task currently, it does make it a little more complicated.  I hope there's someone to whom you can pass this along!  Thanks much!

i would very much like to see this as well. very reasonable request. onenote is amazing - this would simply make it much better for people like us that want to use it to format our notes to look a certain way.

putting a few images in a row side by side IN a text box shouldn't be  an issue - and yes, i realize that this can be done very nicely and easily without using a text box. but that's just the point: to have text flow around images in some form. even just with some simple options.

if i paste html text with some icons (images) from a website it will come in with the small image all on is own line, followed underneath by the text that was beside that image on the website, and so on... after a number of pastes like this, it looks like building blocks. each element must occupy one entire horizontal space the vertical height of that object. it would be nice to be able to get around this limitation.

i use onenote for practically everything i do now, love it! :)
