Daniel Escapa's OneNote Blog

Is this only for 2007 versions..?  I am still running 2003s.. I installed it without problems, but the button is not visible in Outlook.

Dan Escapa is on a tear releasing a set of new PowerToys for OneNote 2007. What's going on is that a

Have installed it cant start it

under Comaddins available but cant be checked

Sorry for the problems.   Can you exit outlook, then  uninstall and re-install?

Thanks,

John Guin

This will re-export each time you click the button.  So, yes, duplicates will result.

I had originally thought about deleting the Outlook StickyNotes after export, but decided against it.  Some people have thousands of these items, and I did not want to create a panic by "wiping them out" when done.

Another thought I had was adding the functionality to open OneNote instead (or in addition to) opening the Outlook Notes folder when you click it.  I can see the case where you would always want access to the MAPI folder in Outlook, so completely stopping you from opening that would be bad.  I can also think that once you export your notes into OneNote, you would want OneNote to be used instead of the Outlook Notes folder.  I could create another addin to open OneNote in addition to the Outlook folder when you try to open the Outlook folder if there is any interest, but launching OneNote is easy enough that it would probably not be very useful to many people at all.

Just thinking out loud,

I have Outlook 2003 and OneNote 2007. I installed the PowerToy, and the Toolbar appears, but nothing happens when I click the button. Do I need Outlook 2007 as well as OneNote 2007? Any suggestions as to how to achieve the same result in Outlook 2003?

Craig,

having mscoree.dll listed as the addin is expected: all managed code addins use this dll.

The only thing I discovered that may help is:

0. Uninstall

1. Ensure outlook is not running when you run setup.exe

2. Make sure you run setup, and not the MSI file

3. If all else fails, click the Go button and re-enable the checkbox next to the addin name.  Save all your settings and restart.

Hope this helps,

John

Dan,

One thing I'm amazed at, having once again searched like crazy, is that there is no built in or add on functionality for exporting Outlook tasks, with notes as a subitem, to OneNote. Here, when I say notes, I'm talking about what you see when you double click on an outlook task, the freeform text details about the task.

To me, onenote is the essential organizing brother for outlook, in that it gives you the ability to outline, which Outlook has never had, plus Outlook task synch. Between the 2 of them, you have the ability to hierarchically organize information in projects, and then make individual tasks "live" with scheduling and other meta-data provided in Outlook.

The only problem is, no one has had the foresite to create an easy way to export all of that Outlook content, in order to "start over" with a real organizing tool, namely an outliner. My God, am I the only one who has longed for Outlines in Outlook? I had hopes when I saw your notes exporter, but it seems this has nothing to do with "real tasks."

Ecco Pro 4.1 was THE tool for me, allowing outlining and meta-data in one. But it was killed. Please, bring this ability to Outlook/Onenote by giving me the ability to easily bring all of my tasks and sub-notes into OneNote easily. I don't even care about the Outlook meta-data since I'll be reorganizing it all from scratch. Just task and sub-notes.

John,

OK...it's working now. Thanks.

I uninstalled killed a running Outlook process and a running OneNote process...that seemed to do the trick.

I am new to onenote.  This program worked great.  However, is there anyway to bring the original date the note was created into Onenote?

Thanks

I wanted to welcome John Guin , a OneNote Test Lead, to the blogsphere. John is new to our team for Office14

If you are running on Vista, be sure to run as admin, and select to "Install for all users."

Is there a way to do the same with Outlook Contact Notes?

Install seemed to go OK.  Outlook 2007 and OneNote both closed during install, no running processes for either.  Toolbar shows up fine in Outlook.  I select a note, a OneNote task fires up in the background...then nuttin.  No confirmation dialog, no note on the OneNote side.  Clues?

I've tried ExportOutlookNotestoOneNote and it doesn't work - i.e. nothing happens when yuou click. What a shame! Any hints? And could you tell me how to uninstall?

Worked like a charm....thanks!

Installed the power toy fine. When I run the export it will only export the first (2) notes and stop.
