File Inserting
Teacher Weeks 5/18/2007 2:51:01 PM
In ON2003, I use to be able to drag-drop a file into my notebook and Onenote
would copy the file into my notebook and place a readable link into my
notebook. As a teacher I find the expectionally useful to organize my
lesson/unit plans. Is there anyways that this can be done in ON2007, either
with directly or with a 3rd party application. So far this is my only
complaint about the new version.

OneNote 2007 lets you do three different things:
- Add a link to a file on a page
- Embed the actual file (meaning the file is stored as part of the
notebook and e.g. synched by OneNote if you use multiple computers)
- Insert a file as printout. That means it gets printed to ON and you
can take notes on the printout

Select a file in Windows Explorer and say copy. Then go into ON and the
page where you want it to be and use Paste. You'll get a dialog with
those three options.

Can a 4th feature be added that allows the link to be relative to the
current notebook section as in the previous version of onenote?
Although I understand the rationale behind placing a fully qualified
link in, I would appreciate the option to put a relative link in as in
the previous version. I absolutely hate having to delete most of the
link after I paste it. What was wrong with the old method "copy to
onenote folder and place a link". This worked perfect for me before,
now to achieve the same result it takes me much much longer than drag
& drop. I have to copy file by hand to my folder, drag file to
onenote, and modify the fully qualified link. I do not wish to embed
files in my notebook and hide them from windows explorer. I sometimes
access contents of my notebook in this manner. This was something
about the previous version that i liked a lot and I wish it was back
in onenote 2007.

I use onenote to make lists of files I need to review for my study
time. I make links to files and place checkboxes next to them,
checking them off after I review them. Having the full link is
overkill and a lot of clutter on my notebook. Please please add back
the option to copy to folder and put only a relative link in. This is
a must for me if I continue to use onenote and/or recommend it.

Thanks.
