Hyperlinks in text may be lost when you copy and paste the text to OneNote 2003

When you copy and paste text that contains a hyperlink to a Microsoft Office OneNote 2003 page, the hyperlink may be lost when you paste the text. For example, if the words Click Here appear on the screen and are associated with a Web site, the text Click Here is brought over, but the associated link to the Web site is not. The same symptom occurs with a graphic that contains a link to a Web site.

This problem occurs because OneNote 2003 does not retain the underlying hyperlinks that are pasted from other programs. For example, the words Click Here appear on the screen and are associated with a Web site. In this example, the Web site link is the underlying hyperlink.
