OneNote Web Exporter

July7

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

  5. Now you can choose your search terms and what scope.
  6. Click Preview and Replace to try it out!

Jeremy Lewi’s SendTo OneNote PowerToy

June18

via Dan Escapa

Jeremy Lewi from Georgia Tech has the following powertoy available on his site: SendtoOneNote

Overview: This addin provides a program to create links to files on OneNote pages. Shortcuts are created in the SendTo folder. This allows files to be sent to OneNote by right clicking on them and selecting SendTo. Two links are created which allow the sent files to be added to the current page or a new page. If the file is an XML file, an XSL transform is applied which outputs OneNote xml which is then incorporated into the current page.

This program was originally based on Daniel Escapa’s sendToOne powertoy. However, instead of embedding the files in OneNote it creates a link. It also automatically applies an XSLT transform to any XML files you send.

Send To OneNote Mobile

June11

Both John Guin and Dan Escapa had a similar, but unfinished PowerToy, so they combined code and released “Send To OneNote Mobile”.
They both have written about it… Links to John’s Post and Dan’s Post

Features…

  • Adds a button to copy the currently viewed page to the OneNote Mobile folder.
  • Click Twice and it will store the GUID in an xml file to avoid duplicates.

Import texts from Project Gutenberg

May31

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.”

Josh Einstein’s OneNote Calendar

March25

Via GottaBeMobile (Warner Crocker)…

Josh Einstein, the developer of TEO 3.0, has created a nifty new application for OneNote. The OneNote Calendar gives you a calendar view of all of your notes, allowing you to view them by when they were created or modified. There is a preview pane that allows you to view your notes. More good news. It is free.

Check it out or download it here.

Installation comment by Josh Einstein: “the issue with the app manifests is because the ClickOnce installer currently requires you to use IE to download and install the app. Doesn’t have to be your default browser, but to do the initial installation you need to be using IE.”

GBM How-To: Add OneNote 2007 Printer as Right-click Send To option

February17

Rob Bushway…

When I saw Warner’s post this morning about the new Send To OneNote 2007 Powertoy, I was a little disappointed that it did not print the file to OneNote. It does send the file as a shortcut to OneNote, but it wasn’t what I was really after. Being a heavy OneNote user on my Tablet PC, I’m always looking for some short-cuts to get documents and stuff printed into OneNote.

So, I went off on a goose chase to figure out how I could easily add a OneNote 2007 printer as a Send-To option, and I figured it out! Having this option will allow you to right click any printable file, go to the Send To option, and choose the OneNote 2007 Printer.
