Canvas was recently updated to support Windows XP and Office 2010…
Canvas for OneNote allows you to navigate and edit notebooks in a new way by providing a high-level canvas-view of all your content. The prototype lets you zoom and pan around; view and organize content in new ways; add new pages right where you want them; and even locate pages in a timeline view.

John Guin has post one of many new powertoys to come over the next week…
As promised, here is the first of a week’s worth of addins/powertoys for OneNote 2007. This addin will sum the columns of a table for you and add the new row to the bottom. It ignores non-numeric values in the column. It’s only requirement is that you need to click in a table to select it before hitting the Sum button (although it will prompt you for clicking the table if you need to).
It does have some limitations. Inking (writing numbers in tables w/o converting them to text) is not supported, and tables within tables will cause problems.
Here’s the link for the setup file: http://johnguin.members.winisp.net/Shared%20Documents/table_sums.zip
Alternate location: http://elhombre.members.winisp.net/api/table_sums.zip
And the source code: http://johnguin.members.winisp.net/Shared%20Documents/table_sums_Source.zip
Alternate location: http://elhombre.members.winisp.net/api/table_sums_Source.zip
Standard setup directions apply: ensure OneNote has exitied, run setup.exe (as an admin on Vista) and install for all users.
Here it is in action. Before adding the columns:
And after:
(And there is a hidden preview for another addin to be released later this week in the images above. Can you find it?)
There is a lot to do with this from here. Adding support to sum rows (relatively easy, but requires some new UI), performing other simple math routines, completely ignoring columns which have no numbers at all, perhaps applying boldface to the answers and similar tasks would all be appreciated. Moving this code over to the Object Model at www.codeplex.com/onom and extending it there is also a task on my radar.
As always, let me know what you think.
Questions, comments, concerns and criticisms always welcome,
John

Last year Jamie Hill of StratusNine.com created an HTML Importer for OneNote. (found via http://del.icio.us/tag/onenote)
It allows you to save a web page (“complete” or as single page) and import it into OneNote 2007.
Also of interest is another version, just called “The Importer” which is for text and html files. More specifically, part of his PINE email export (via perl script) to OneNote (via The Importer). Check out all his OneNote posts.

From http://tabletpcstudent.wordpress.com/2007/11/17/powertoy-double-hyperlink/
Double Hyperlink – What is it? It creates a new page, with the user specified title, pastes a hyperlink to the new page in the current page, and navigates to the new page where it puts the hyperlink from the current page
.
Note: As of 12/3/07 the download link is “Disabled :- Fixing Bugs”

A powertoy from Jeff Cardon, one of the OneNote Testers…
Takes selected pages in OneNote and at the click of a button it will merge all of the pages together into one page.
A screenshot of what it looks like in the toolbar:
Direct download link mergepages_setup.zip
Some notes: there is a popup dialog which explains Undo is not supported. You can disable this dialog if you want, and I recommend disabling it as soon as you get comfortable with the implications that Undo is not supported. There is another warning if you merge more than 10 pages at a time. Again, you can disable this warning.
The reason I suggest disabling those warning are this is another managed code addin, so we cannot control focus of the confirmation dialogs. If you click the button and it looks like nothing happened, look “behind” OneNote to see the dialog. It’s easier just to live without the dialogs when you merge pages.
When installing, as usual, exit OneNote, run setup.exe and choose to install for all users.

SnagIt Output for OneNote 2007 has entered my Top 3 favorite PowerToys.
From Kathy’s blog…
The new accessory lets you send almost any snag to OneNote directly from the SnagIt preview. By default, the snags go to your cursor location. But you can easily change the output location to any page in any section in any open notebook or to any page in your unfiled notes. If you want, you can even have SnagIt create a page in a section and put the output there. (New pages get the title “Snag” followed by a sequence number.) You can change the default from your cursor location to any of the other locations as well. (What’s a Snag? That’s a screen shot you take with SnagIt!)
I have been testing it out and have found a lot of great uses for it. For example:
- I hate that there has been no easy way to get long/wide pages to my notes. Now I can set up a Snag to grab the scrolling page, then send that straight to the page in my notes that I want.
- I can annotate my screen captures and then send them to OneNote. Since the OneNote clipping tool doesn’t let me do annotations, this is a biggie for me. I hate that when I annotate a capture in OneNote, the annotations don’t move with the capture if I drag the capture. By using Snagit, I can capture my content, annotate it, and then send it to OneNote. Really slick.
- I want to capture specific objects from PPT or a web page and drop them in OneNote. I can copy and paste, but I have to hope that the person who created the object did it right in order to always get what I want. Now, I can snag the object and send the object to my notes.

Brian Dewey has created a OneNote PowerShell Provider PowerToy which uses the power of scripting to get to OneNote data.
He includes several scripts, such as the “Get-OneNoteDigest.ps1″ which sends email when pages in a shared OneNote notebook change.
Also check out a more recent post about Technology: Todo.txt, PowerShell, and OneNote and how he can use his TodoTxt scripts to manipulate his list inside OneNote!

Gary Neitzke, a tester for MS OneNote, has created a “favorites” powertoy…
Purpose:
Allow a simple way to keep a list of notebooks without having to memorize locations, allowing you to close and re-open notebooks without knowing the path.
Description:
A powertoy that works like the “favorites” of IE. You add a Notebook to the list then it allows you to close the notebook in OneNote. Then in a few minutes/hours/days/months/years etc… when you need to open it but can’t remember the path, you just click on the favorites and the notebook is there ready to go, no more remember long paths and locations.
How to use:
To launch you just click the Favorites from your standard toolbar. The first launch will take a second or two since it is busy creating a file to store your favorites. You can add the notebook you are viewing or all the notebooks that are open. When you want to open a notebook you can double click the notebook to open it, right click it or just use the open command. You can also open multiple notebooks from the list. If a notebook has been removed/moved it will prompt you it cannot find the notebook and lets you know to try again or remove it from the list. You can also copy the paths to the notebooks by right clicking on them and selecting copy.
