If you’re like most people, you probably use Pinterest to collect ideas for your next project or to find new recipes to try. But did you know that you can also use Pinterest pins in your work documents, like OneNote and Word for Web? To embed a pin in a document, open the pin’s page in Pinterest and click the “Share” button. (If the pin doesn’t have a “Share” button, it’s not embeddable.) In the “Share” window that pops up, copy the code that appears at the bottom of the window. Next, open your document where you want to include the pin. (You can open a document in OneNote or Word for Web by clicking its file name on your computer’s desktop or in Windows Explorer.) Paste the code from Pinterest into the document where you want it to appear. (If there are spaces between the code and text, wrap them with quotation marks.) Click OK to save your changes and enjoy your new pin! ..
Keeping track of your Pinterest pins for ideas, hobbies, or visual references has never been easier. Since February 2021, you can now embed Pinterest pins in OneNote notebooks or online Word documents. Here’s how.

How to Embed a Pinterest Pin in OneNote or Word
When you’re browsing Pinterest and see a pin that you want to save in OneNote or Word, copy the URL from the address bar of your web browser. You can do this easily by selecting the link, right-clicking, and selecting “Copy” from the shortcut menu.
Locate the spot in OneNote or your online Word document where you want to paste the link. Right-click and select “Paste” from the menu.
As soon as you paste the Pinterest link into OneNote or Word, it will immediately transform into a content box with a thumbnail taken from the Pinterest pin.
If you click the pin, you’ll head directly to it on the Pinterest website in your default browser.
Move, Resize, or Remove the Pinterest Pin
Once you see the Pinterest pin thumbnail in OneNote or Word, you can move, resize, or even remove it.
To move the pin, click once to select its content box. Place your cursor on the dots within the top border of the box. When your cursor changes to a four-sided arrow, drag to put the pin where you’d like it on the page.
To resize the pin, select the container, and you’ll see two arrows on the top-right corner of the box. Drag the arrows right or left to resize the pin.
To remove the pin, right-click its container and select “Delete” from the shortcut menu. You can also use the application menu, keyboard shortcut, or Delete key.
And that’s it! Very easy. Paste as many Pinterest links as you’d like, then embed videos, photos, or documents, and you’ll build a handy OneNote notebook in no time.
