ahhhh hope this is not a stupid comment but I'm a bit frustrated that I have not been able to do something that I imagine is pretty simple. I have a vast directory structure full of older backed up OneNote tabs and files. As you know OneNote stores it’s contents in traditional directory structures and even after OneNote the application is gone, all the “OneNotes” still exist as .one files and these files are nicely organized in folders that OneNote used to see as tabs… So how do take this vast directory of files, nicely organized into folders and tell OneNote to open the directory at the root folder and make a NoteBook out of that Root folders directory tree? I’m sure this must be simple but I’ve been unable to figure it out or find a solution on the web… Please don’t tell me I’ll have to open each individual .one file…

You should be able to go to the parent folder on the drive, right click it and select "Open as OneNote Notebook."

If you show hidden files, you should be able to double click the ToC (table of contents) file and get the same behavior.

I hope some of this helps,

John

Those look great!

On page rotation: a manual rotation powertoy is a great addition. Another way, if you have text images, is to use MS Office Document Imaging. It automatically rotates pages when you tell it to use the OCR recognition. When the mdi files are imported to Onenote, they come out oriented correctly. You trade off a little labor up front (opening a second program) but the payback is that you don't have to manually go through pages one at a time to rotate. Would be a nice feature for OneNote, but just being able to rotate a page is a great step forward. Can the powertoy "close the gap" of space that may be created between images after an image is rotated?

these sound good. Not sure if this is where to make a request.

Re: integrating with outlook

I am manually inserting hyperlinks in my appointment note section AND on my One Note page to connect the two. The problem I find otherwise is that when I file the One Note page under the appropriate client section, the links are broken.

Could a powertoy better link notes between Outlook 2007 and ON 2007?

Hi Steve,

If I understand you, you create a hyperlink to the OneNote page and paste it into the appointment item?

I do not understand what link you paste into the OneNote page. Is it a link to a different OneNote page or what?

And have you changed where the meeting notes are stored (in tools \ options \ outlook integration)?

Hey John,

I hyperlink to the OneNote page, and then manually paste a link back into my Outlook meeting page to be sure I can get from one to the other going in either direction. I haven't changed the meeting notes storage, though I have at times moved them to the appropriate section (for example Client X group) and then need to re do the hyperlink.

My personal request would be for a powertoy that automatically numbers the rows in a table. Or does that already exist, and I haven't found it yet?

Hello Peter,

Table row numbers are on the "to do" and work is underway at http://www.codeplex.com/onom/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=4174. Ali is working on implementing the spec - keep your eyes on the codeplex site and my blog.

Hey John,

I was just looking for a feature in OneNote and couldn't find it. It's the perfect opportunity for a --ding, ding, ding-- POWERTOY!!! After a few mounths of keeping my notebook, one of my sections is starting to get way to full. It would be great if there were a simple Promoter/Demoter PowerToy with the following functionality.

The promoter would basically take all objects in the container & promote them.

sub-page --> page -->section-->section group.

So, if I click on Section "Italian Recipes" & promote it, I get a new Section Group "Italian Recipes". Since it's recursive (optional with a check box), all pages will become sections (Lasagna, Gnocchi, Risotto, etc), and subpages will become pages (Meat Lasagna, Vegetable Lasagna; a gnocchi, b gnocchi; etc.).

Am I making sense?

Interesting - a few people have requested something similar. Seems like a move operation with a couple of OneNote twists thrown in here and there. I seem to remember seeing something similar as a pwertoy request somewhere else - I'll check into it.

Hello Kai,

Check out this page - it has links to many of the powertoys the test team wrote in 2007:

Finally a way to rotate images! Something which has been a sore spot for me when using OneNote.

Thanks for the good work,
