Hi. What I would like to see is a tool that lets you send the document to OneNote from INSIDE the office apps (Word, excel, powerpoint). It would be just like the "Send to Onenote" tool in explorer except that you could do it from inside the app, while you are viewing the document.

So many times when viewing/reviewing a document I think to myself (hey, this belongs to this project I have in OneNote). Today I have to go all the way to the folder of that document to send it to OneNote. It would be so much easier to do it while you are looking at it.

This shouldn't be too difficult...its pretty much the "Send to OneNote" tool in a different location...

Please, someone, make it happen!!! :-)

Can you use the Print to OneNote printer driver?

In OneNote, click File | Print and select Print to OneNote. This may help.

Sadly, it does not work on 64 bit Windows, though.

Hi John,

Yep - that's a great functionality, and I use it a lot.

But sometimes I just want to insert link to the document or embed the document into OneNote :-)

Hi Thomas,

Do you mean the equivalent of performing a "Select All" on the contents of the document and then pasting the results in OneNote (assuming formatting and the like remains intact)?

This sounds easy, but then I think about the landscape format of slides, the document format of Word and the table setup of Excel. Then it starts to get very complicated very quickly.

Hi John,

No, I was more thinking of inserting a link to the document or embed the document itself into OneNote.

Kind of like Daniel Escapa’s "sendToOne powertoy", or Jeremy Lewi’s "SendTo OneNote PowerToy"

BUT from INSIDE the office application. :-)

That would be great!
