It IS very nice indeed. Good work. Happy with the new stuff.

The only thing...whilst my autobulleting works fine, the autonumbering (type a 1. and your point...hit enter and voila: 2.) doesn't work.

Thanks again for the good new stuff.

OneNote 2003 Service Pack 1 Preview

Microsoft released the OneNote 2003 Service Pack 1 Preview today. Chris Pratley is a much better source for the intricacies. SP1 includes an API and SP1 will be the new OneNote baseline. OneNote now has real-time note sharing. It would...

No review tonight but read Chris Pratley

Dang. Rushed out of the office for an end-of-day meeting offsite and forgot to grab my OneNote install disc (you need it and have to uninstall 1.0 before installing the SP1 release). So, no review tonight on the SP1 Preview. However, Chris Pratley has come to the rescue with a dandy post from "behind the curtains" about the what and why bedhind the SP1 release. A great read, as always. Chris_Pratley's WebLog Service Pack 1 (SP1) of OneNote is available in preview form starting today. This is not your typical service pack, as you have no doubt read already. I've already blogged a bunch about what making a version 1 product is like. We're pretty happy that our first release was received so well (and the awards were nice too, thanks!). But we got a lot of feedback on the first release, usually of the form "I love it but there's this one thing"...

Man, so much here. Pocket PC and SmartPhone integration, better Office (and SharePoint) integration, shared session features based on online gaming technology, stationery customization, performance improvements, mini-API, password-protection and encrypted sections, new pen styles, inserting pictures from any TWAIN source, inserting screen clippings, recording of video...

Gah, to fully digest this will take me a few days. I guess never mind, on half my plug-in requests, kinda funny how I was writing that and then the news hit from Europe about the Service Pack, I was whoa, Heavens to Betsy! :) Yeehaw. Impressive, and from a Service Pack no less. OneNote 2 will be monumental.

I love the feature that you now can link to a document on your disk (by drag&drop) without OneNote copying it to it's own directory.
Would be even more awesome if these linked documents would be searched when using the OneNote search. This would upscale OneNote to a central knowledge base for me.
Most of my course notes link to word, excel, powerpoint, pdf files and web pages. Would be cool if that information would be tightly integrated in OneNote. Thanks for the great SP!

The only thing that irritates me is the need for the CDROM from which you installed One Note 1.0.

Now in my case I'm probably running it on an MSDN license. But was the CD the one that finally came by post or the one that I burnt myself after a download from the MSDN subscriber site (or, horrors, was it an MSDN CDROM that has since been replaced by them with one that includes another product too and thus I no longer have). And will this actually matter?

The only one thing that I'm suffering from is the case when I have a lot of pages and subpages on one tab and it is VERY hard to find pages. They are different from subpages by the length of their bar.

If you guys would be able to give us an ability to collapse and expand subpages, that would be a dream of my life :)

re: OneNote Service Pack 1

Andy Lin — Wed, 21 Apr 2004 21:34:00 GMT

I posted this in TabletPCBuzz.com, and here for anyone else:

Thanks for the info. Since it seems that OneNote developers are reading this forum (and this is a great thing!), I'd like to provide some more feedback.

To reiterate a bit, I feel that I speak for a lot of engineering students when I say that the Journal method of inking works best for taking notes in science and engineering. I first started using Journal to take notes, and it worked perfectly. Recently, I switched to OneNote, in hopes that once I learned the nuances of the program, the incredible file organizing abilities would more than pay off for all the work. Unfortunately, it hasn't yet. I spend too much time worrying about how to layout notes properly, and less time paying attention to the board. At MIT, this is a serious problem that even recording lectures cannot mitigate.

While note containers are wonderful for notes that include lots of handwritten text, the way they are currently handled doesn't work well for handwritten text interspersed with drawings. Let me list some issues and scenarios:

* Say I have a list, detailing the steps of a polymerization reaction, which include two types of reactions. So my first bullet is "Type of polymerization reaction". Then I would have two indented bullets underneath stating "Protonic acid" and "Lewis acid". Under each, I want to do a drawing of the polymerization reaction. Currently, the drawing is separate of the note-container. Since lecture notes are taken chronologically, once I start drawing the for the protonic acid, the note container stops. In order to continue my bulleted list, I have to use the "insert space" tool to *carefully* insert space in the note-container, hoping it doesn't move the drawing. Then I can continue my bulleted-list and continue with Lewis acids.
* Having to alternate between drawing and handwriting "pens" is annoying and as Journal demonstrates, can be avoided. How to make this work with note containers is a problem I leave for the experts. [8D]
* The improved selection of drawings is wonderful, but still not quite perfect. Something else that irks me is the conversion from handwritten ink to drawing ink, and vice versa. Why are the strokes moved around if I do that, especially when going from handwriting to drawing. I obviously like what I've drawn, so why change the position of ink strokes?
* There are issues with note containers arbitrarily deciding not to continue extending, such that as I write another note container appears to the right, usually overlapping, and just annoys me, let alone wreaks havoc on my note heirarchy.
* To distinguish between handwriting and drawings, you have to write fairly large. This creates problems not only with screen space, but with the overall look of a note. I like to write small, so I can overview more information at once. What I have had to resort to these days is completely disregarding the structure of my notes, making myself write down, rather than put drawings close together to better associate them.
* Why exclude search from drawings? Drawings are often labelled. With the current methods, text labels you give to a drawing are either part of it, or separate handwriting note containers. This can create a serious clutter, and the software has trouble distinguishing between text and drawing. You have to switch pens, and then note containers start piling up, reflowing inappropriately, etc.
* Why reflow when dragging things? Let there be an option to keep things the way they are arranged relative to each other.
* Why can't we change the size of rule lines? I'm forced to stick with blank stationery, since that gives me the most flexibility with note containers.

I feel that there are two possible solutions to this issue at hand. Either "fix" or improve note containers to better handle drawings and handwriting, with reflow as the key issue. The easier fix, and perhaps most flexible, is to allow Journal-style inking as an option. Therefore, when I'm taking lecture notes I can do that in the free-form way. But when I go to organizational meetings, I can use the note-container features.

To see examples of my notes in both Journal and OneNote, see these links. The dates of the notes can give you some incite on the improvement and adjustment I've made with time to using digital ink. That is why I've included multiple lecture notes.

I have printed my OneNote notes (including some notes I imported from Journal) to PDF to be viewed by everyone. I don't even know if they've printed correctly. The printing from Journal is much smoother. It'd be nice to have the ability to shrink ink notes to the page, without affecting other things like page headers. Writing ink at regular zoom makes the ink print HUGE on paper. Another gripe that Journal does better.

Are you a big fan of files like this:

<page>
<ink container>
<stroke>
<point x=324 y=432/>
<point x=324 y=432/>
<point x=324 y=432/>
<point x=324 y=432/>
<point x=324 y=432/>
<point x=324 y=432/>
<point x=324 y=432/>

... and so on and so forth? Expand that several billions times, and you'll see why text file formats don't work if you need to store inherently binary data, such as graphics or ink.

Is this a bug or something I have missed?

re: OneNote Service Pack 1

Blair Mc — Thu, 22 Apr 2004 21:15:00 GMT

Yannick Smits said it above - the dream would be that the contents of linked documents could (optionally) be included in a search in OneNote. So that, for example, the useful information that is off in an Excel spreadsheet doesn't need to be duplicated (with the attendant loss of table structure (argh), formulas, etc.) into OneNote in order to be part of your information store.

re: OneNote Service Pack 1

Benoit — Thu, 22 Apr 2004 22:16:00 GMT

Enrique,

The missing systray icon is a known issue in the preview. To fix: Create a new text file using Notepad (or the text editor of your choice)
and paste everything between the ====s into it.
============

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\OneNote]

"FirstBoot"= -

============

Name that file: ontray.reg and save it somewhere like the desktop where
you can easily find it. Close OneNote and Double-click the Ontray.reg
file to add the relevent line to your registry. Restart OneNote
and it should work fine.

Thomas Lee — Sat, 24 Apr 2004 11:01:00 GMT

I like the updates to the UI - this was a gripe of mine too.

The one thing I guess I miss is a simple "Blog This Page" icon, with the ability to put some code behind it. I kind of thought File/Publish Pages might do it, but not really.

What I'd like to see is a little icon just to the right of the page title. A bit like the Blog This icon on the Google Tool Bar. See: http://toolbar.google.com/button_help.html for details if not familiar.

Alternatively, how about a Power Toys for OneNote which adds this stuff on?

And where's the macro facility!?? :-)

OneNote rocks!

Also, was curious about plans to add the aility to select a block of text (or image or whatever) in OneNote and add a hyperlink.

And I was able to start blogging with it after after some minor adjustments. Blogs from OneNote with video attached. Oh boy. :-)

jmh: the time format is defined by your Windows settings. if you don't mind changing the way you view dates in the file system and elsewhere, you can adjust the settings in the Regional options and get what you want (hopefully - I am not sure about GMT - you might have to switch your timezone to GMT)

This article and the posts above has convinced me that it's worth installing the preview rather than waiting for the official SP1 even though I'll have to reinstall OneNote. Hopefully I can just continue to use my notebook without much hassle.

re: OneNote Service Pack 1

Chris Pratley — Tue, 11 May 2004 09:47:00 GMT

Enrique, SideNote is designed to always create a new note for you when you invoke it. If you prefer not to do this, after the first capture, use Insert/Screen Clipping (Alt-I, R). Or if you end up with a small Side Note window, use the toolbar button you see there for screen clipping. (it is to the left of the microphone)

Mike, you can get the nav pane by clicking the name of your notebook in the upper left (it has a down arrow). Making this stick open is a common request we're evaluating. You can sort the pages using the page list task pane - not quite what you want of course - we are on top of that one too.

Mike — Mon, 28 Jun 2004 21:37:00 GMT

It really needs a drawing toolbar similar to Words. Withthat it would be very usefull for more higher ed calsses like Calculus. It has the graph paper, but not the shapes. I took a class where the instructor was using LearnLink and doing nice graphs and shapes but on physical paper it was hard to keep up with all the colors and the multivariable graphs. With OneNote this would be easy if there were a drawing tool bar.

re: OneNote Service Pack 1

Chris_Pratley — Mon, 28 Jun 2004 22:33:00 GMT

Mike, can you explain what shapes would you need that you couldn't draw as quickly with a pen? things like empty graphs with axis lines? intergrals? I'm curious. BTW, on a tablet, switching pen colors is faster than putting down a pen of one color and picking up another. Or are you using a laptop? In that case, I agree that a shape library would be way faster than what you have to work with today using mouse and keyboard, but even so I wonder if you can keep up with an instructor using a shape library.

re: OneNote Service Pack 1

Jason L — Wed, 08 Mar 2006 04:54:10 GMT

I really, REALLY would like the ability to draw shapes, or at least make straight lines. I'm testing out OneNote in class at Berkeley this semester, and I find taking notes in intermediate macro to be difficult when it comes to drawing graphs, which consist primarilly of straight lines at various angles, dotted lines, etc. I do not have a tabletPC, so everything I do is by touchpad.

Things just look awful when I try to freehand a line, and I've recently resorted to using MSPaint in another window to draw, then pasting into the document, which looks much better, but wastes time when I'm trying to keep up with lecture.

I also encounter many of the same nuisances as the MIT student above commented on. Especially the bit about things reflowing when I try to move them. This is a problem when I've drawn a graph in ink via touchpad, then inserted point labels with text containers, then have to shift things around. Everything reflows and I basically have to undo to make things better again.

Also, I would like there to be an option to just type exactly where I click. Especially over an image I've pasted in. What happens is I draw a graph, I then start labeling points within that graph, if two are close together, OneNote things I want to instead type in adjoining container, so it puts the cursor there. I'd like it to just put the cursor where I tell it to, ignoring the other container, specifically if I'm just pitting in one letter.

anyway, I've been using the program in class every day, and for wordy lectures it's great. It's the mix of occasional graphs that are big hangups. You can email me at jlove at berkeley dot edu for any elaboration.
