OneNote Table Of Contents

July12

Nani Courten of the OneNote Testing Team has created a Table Of Contents PowerToy.

It creates a new Table Of Contents page for the section with hyperlinks to all the pages. It also shows the creation date, last modified date, and sorts them by last modified at the top.

Click here for a larger screenshot. (Demo section/pages based on krypticide’s X61 Review posted using the Web Export powertoy.)

It does work – thanks.

But I wonder about order of the items in the TOC. It seems to be by descebdubg Last Modified Date, This seems to me a poor choice as a default, many pages are updated from time to time, but the order in the generate TOC is fixed, and if you want to go by date, you can use Josh's tool.

A daring suggestion: How about leaving the order of pages unchanged

Great add-In! It would be nice however, if there would be an option to sort for page title.

Cheryl,

According to the source code it does 6 major steps…
1. Get Section Hierarchy (what section are you in?)
2. Put TOC in datagrid (query for page info)
– Note: Line 70 is sort by modified date.
3. Create XML Table (reformat with table elements)
4. Create new page
5. Move page to first in section
6. Add content to new page

I downloaded the setup files and installed it. However, I have no idea how to run it. Where do I find it in Onenote?

Thank you for any help.

Perhaps Sarah W and I have the same problem. I downloaded the setup files and installed it. The Table of Contents button appears on the toolbar, but when I click on it, the button turns to a light gray and nothing else happens. Where do I go from here? Thank you.

Same problem – installed fine but no button or command in Onenote. I can see one .dll added to program filesmicrosoftON Table of Content Setup?

The button didn't appear when I ran the .exe file, but appeared when I ran the .msi. Or vice versa. I can't remember, but the toc button appeared after I ran both.

I like the default sort order very much — useful for status meetings, for example. However, I keep getting tripped up by the fact that the Modified Date seems to get updated every time I just visit that page, which can be very misleading when I'm searching for real changes. Why is this happening?

I would like to have it step up the table of contents as the pages are laid out.
Also I wonder could it distinguish between Sub Page and a Page.
Finally I don't want the Time to show up at all. Things change get re-created modified I would use it much more if I didn't have any dates.

A new program suggestion Table of Contents for a Notebook
Where it would show the total Hierarchy of the notebook and place it in a new section of a note book this away people can print out or e-mail the Hierarchy.

Thanks,
Brian

Get an Error, 0×2001: Invalid XML
Would be a nice feature if working though…

Would be nice if it started at the very root and recursively went through the entire notebook
