John is posting some of the powertoys that have been in development, please see here: Table Sum Powertoy

John you left me a note in the discussion group about my crash in ON after installing and attempting to use the table sum powertoy. Here is the error message I recieved. You'll be glad to know that I used ON to capture the error. (LOVE IT)

I clicked on the link for the set up file and once it was downloaded I clicked on the link for the source code. (Didn't know for sure if I was supposed to do that or not) Please give better downloading instructions for those of us who are semi computer illiterates.

Once I downloaded both, I ran set up but nothing came up about allowing all users. I then opened onenotes to see if the icon was there and it was. I didn't realize it would add up every column in the table so I thought I was clicking on the column I wanted it to add up. Within seconds it said onenotes was not responding. I closed the program and when I reopened it I had the blue screen that says the last time I viewed that screen onenotes crashed so I refreshed. This happened a couple of times then I saw the error message above.

I then ran set up again only this time it ask me if I wanted to repair onenote table sum or remove onenote table sum. I selected repair.

The problem continued after that So I left the message on the board.

I went in later and tried again and then it worked. (Go Figure) Now it is working but when I click on the table sum icon it takes 30 + seconds for the action to take place. I have also noticed that some times during that 30 + seconds the top of the screen will show the (not responding message)

I'm running recently purchased onenotes 2007 on a new computer running Vista.

Not sure how to answer the question of the type of table I am using. Other than the information I put into it the tables all look the same. I am using text though.

You are welcome to email me if you need me to do anything else. Thanks for the addins I really love what I've seen of Onenotes so far and can't wait to see it grow.

Very cool powertoy, John.  I can't wait for the final release.

As to the "other" hidden powertoy that is to be released (I haven't seen any other annoucements), but it is the other icon at the top right of the screenshots? It looks like a square with an arrow pointing from bottom left to top right.

Cool powertoy.  However, the holy grail here has got to be excel embedded into notebook pages like it can be into a word doc.  Even better would be some native editing capabilities without opening the full blown excel application in the background.  Is this on the team's radar?

Could you please provide a step-by-step usage of this addin? I am having problems getting it to do anything. The icon is always "greyed-out" in the toolbar. Maybe I missed something.

John,

Thank you! I guess I missed that .net "support" didnt get installed with onenote.

everything is fine and dandy now!

Thank you for your excellent work! I find onenote really exciting and have become very attached to it... always looking for new ways to use it. I hope some great new features get added in the next release, I look forward to it with great anticipation! I wish they gave the dev team more resources, because onenote is in a class all its own!
