Window Clippings v1.5 (with OneNote 2007 support!)

Posted by on January 28, 2007 No comments

Kenny Kerr has updated his Window Clippings utility and added OneNote 2007 support, plus other enhancements and features.

Note: XmlLite (included in Windows SP2 or Vista) needs to be installed for Send To OneNote 2007.

The Options Tab for OneNote…

Send to Excel?

James used the contact form to ask about Excel and OneNote:

Pull in a Excel shreadsheet into OneNote and retain the cell formating?

It would be great if it could also mantain the formulas, but thats a plus only.

According to a comment on Brad Covelle’s Blog (link broken, details in previous post here) there was a similar powertoy that was a Contest Winner, but I can’t find it on the public internet…

Send to OneNote by Piyush Shah

  • This Powertoy adds a Send to OneNote into the right-click Send To menu in Windows Explorer.
  • Put a button in Excel and PowerPoint to send the selection / entire document to OneNote.

OneNote 2007 has a basic table layout, so a simple Copy/Paste will produce a table with most of the basic formatting. The row/column width data is lost and ON2007 doesn’t support Borders, so it won’t look quite the same.

OneNote 2007 does have Insert Files as Printout which produces a searchable image and looks much better, but the data can’t be modified.

OneNote 2007 also allows Hyperlinks to files, so that would be my suggested route.

Anyone have a better suggestion? Preferably something that works in 2003 as well (such as how to get Piyush’s PowerToy and what it’s out output looks like.)

New Mindjet Powetoy

Michael from Mindjet was kind enough to inform us about a new powertoy Mindjet created for OneNote users. The functions include:

  1. OneNote 2007 Send To MindManager
  2. OneNote Hyperlinks in MindManager
  3. Notebook Hierarchy Mapping
  4. Send To OneNote 2007

Sadly, the new powertoy only works for OneNote 2007. For OneNote 2003 users, Mindjet recommends downloading the Tablet Extensions for some functions like import/export.

Update: Kenny will support OneNote 2007. He will release the new version of Windows Clipping in a few days, then release one with OneNote 2007 in the future.

Kenny Kerr is trying to figure out if he should add OneNote 2007 support to his Windows Clippings powertoy/utility or just drop the OneNote feature in the 2.0 release.

Leave a comment on his post if you think it is a valuable feature.
