OneSnap is used to import web pages from IE (as a “screen capture”) to OneNote.

The cool thing is that you get can import into any section in your OneNote notebook.

See the preview for a screenshot of the dialog box you get when you click on the the OneSnap button in IE.

Note: “It actually was one of the winners of the Microsoft OneNote PowerToy Contest…”

We Need Your Help!

Posted by on March 27, 2006 No comments

There were 1,000 powertoys entered in the Powertoys contest. We started this blog so there would be one place for them all since Microsoft was/is moving at a snail’s pace. We thought it would be very easy to find most of them. However, 23 powertoys later, we are realizing it is very difficult to find new powertoys.

So, we are asking for your help. If you know of any powertoys besides the ones listed then please contact us so we can write about them here.

I didn’t get as many as I had hoped for, but the poll has been on the site long enough. There are the results:

Post Reviews on this Site: 47% (8)
Post Reviews on Note Talkers: 6% (1)
Post Reviews on Both Sites: 47% (8)
No Reviews: 0%

Total Votes: 17

Since there was a tie, I have decided to post on this site, but I will make an annoucement on Note Talkers. That way, everyone is happy. :)

OneNote to WordPress Update

Posted by on March 19, 2006 5 comments

onenotebutton.jpgWindows with Ink just posted this screenshot of his OneNote to WordPress powertoy. He has been working on it for a while and keeps testing it and adding features. This time, he added buttons in OneNote 2007. No word on when he will release the powertoy. My guess is the OneNote 2007 powertoy will be published after OneNote 2007 gets released.

I am very exited about this powertoy because I would have so much use for it. I write my posts in OneNote first to collect all of my ideas and information, then I publish them to WordPress. This powertoy would save me a lot of time.

Official Powertoy: My Font Tool for Tablet PC

Posted by on March 2, 2006 3 comments

There are many powertoys out there, but only three of them are official powertoys from Microsoft (Send to OneNote from Internet Explorer, Send to OneNote from Outlook, and My Font Tool for Tablet PC). We have already written about the first two.  So, today we bring you the third one in case you didn’t know about it. This powertoy only work with Tablet PC because the user has to input letters and symbols from the stylus. It is a pretty neat and fun powertoy. Check it out here.

Microsoft’s Description:

“Tired of using regular fonts? This PowerToy for Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition converts your own handwriting into a TrueType font. Use this font in OneNote and in other Windows-based programs to make typed text appear as though you had written it by hand. Whether you prefer calligraphy or chicken scratch, in three easy steps you can create your own personal typeface.”

I will be testing this powertoy for the next few weeks followed by my review.
