HOW TO USE
Office Lens
1. Make sure you install the Office Lens product that is compatible with your device: iOS, Android, or Windows.
Follow the instructions to set it up properly. Be sure to allow the program to access your camera.
2. The camera will open and then a default “view” option will allow you to choose options such as whiteboard
or document.
3. Once you get a clear focus, just press the button to capture your image.
4. Office Lens will take a few minutes to process the image and then give you a preview of it. If you think you
should trim it a bit, use the crop option in the upper right corner. Once you achieve your desired results, tap
Done.
5. Finally, save the image. Sign into your OneNote account to create a name for your image, and then save it in
the notebook file of your choice. If you wish to store your image online, you can upload it to OneDrive,
Word, your photo library, or even PowerPoint. You can also email the photo.
**Note: When using Office Lens, documents are saved as separate files.
