OneNote Table Of Contents

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.)

OneNote Web Exporter

Dave Tse has created a really cool OneNote Web Exporter and released it via CodePlex (MS Open Source)…

What is this for?
The OneNote Web Exporter allows you to export a OneNote notebook as html files that anybody can view through a web browser.

How does it work?
You give it a OneNote 2007 Notebook and it will generate an html page and a folder containing all of the notebook data.

What can I do with it?

  • Export a notebook when you need to send it to somebody who doesn’t have OneNote 2007
  • Maintain a browser accessible version of your notebook by scheduling a daily export to a SharePoint server

OneNote Search and Replace

Dan has posted Jeffrey’s OneNote Search and Replace PowerToy

How it works

  1. Download the application from here: OneNoteSearchReplace.zip
  2. Extract the application and run the setup.exe
  3. You will now have a new toolbar button in OneNote which looks like this:
    image
  4. Click the button and you will see a window like this:
    image
  5. Now you can choose your search terms and what scope.
  6. Click Preview and Replace to try it out!

Additional Note: Dan also included a disclaimer that PowerToys posted on his blog [and all other blogs too] are not supported by Microsoft and are use at your own risk.

Import texts from Project Gutenberg

John Guin has completed his tool to import texts from Project Gutenberg.

Features…

  •  Choose a Notebook (w/ tree navigation)
    • Includes some basic fuzzy-logic to guess one or it will default to Unfiled Notes.
  • Status Bar and completion notification.

Limitations…

  • Not all texts have the same delimiters and may end up garbled.
  • John has tried to account for this and also left it extensible…
    • “I left this slightly extensible for users without Visual Studio who do not want to re-write or add to the code to get around the limitation of using the word “Chapter” to break out individual chapters. You can add new words to use as separators to the string registry key at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Guinsoft\GutenWin named “delim”. Just add your new keywords you want to use as separators to the end of the list, and use a comma as a separator.”

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.
