Clipping when Services Menu Items are Dimmed
 
If you create a selection but the items in the Services → NoteBook menu are dimmed, you can still clip using the contextual menus.  Control- or right-click your selection and choose a Clipping Service from the NoteBook submenu.
 


Control- or right-click a selection to clip to a NoteBook page.

If you haven’t prepared any pages or cells for clipping, or if the current selection can’t be clipped, the NoteBook submenu won’t appear.

 
You can clip using the contextual menus even if the Services → NoteBook menu items are active.  Sometimes this is faster than mousing through the application menus.
 
 
By The Way...

Why might the Services → NoteBook menu items be dimmed?  Many older-style “Carbon” applications don’t properly support the Services menu.
