OneNote Text Importer

John Guin gives us yet another requested and useful PowerToy… (where was this guy two years ago during the “contest”?)

It will allow you to navigate to a folder on the hard drive and import all the TXT files in it to OneNote. It will create a new section with the name of the folder on the hard drive as the section name. And here I hit a snag. I never really liked the behavior of putting all new information into Unfiled Notes by default. While it makes sense most of the time, in this case I really saw a need to control where the imported text files would go. I decided to implement a tree control to let the user choose which notebook the files would be imported. So now you can choose into which notebook you want the imported files to go.

Here are the links.

Outlook 2007 Add-in = Launch OneNote instead of Notes

John Guin, a OneNote Tester, has started his own blog!

The first entry is an Add-in for Outlook 2007 which launches OneNote (2003 or 2007) instead of the Outlook Notes.
