Powertoy add ons "Wickiup" <BeepBeep[ at ]Roadrunner.com> 11/26/2008 6:39:38 PM I notice that many seemingly simple functions in OneNote are being accomplished through the use of these Powertoy add ones. It is great that someone is furnishing the time and effort to do this. Are there any conflicts or downsides when using these and are they recommended straight across the board? My concern is cluttering up a program without the anticipated result or improvement being attained. -*- Jim Curts

Re: Powertoy add ons "Ben M. Schorr - MVP (OneNote)" <bens[ at ]bogusaddress.mvp> 11/26/2008 7:05:36 PM I haven't seen any problems with the PowerToys yet but I wouldn't rule out the possibility that one of them might someday cause a problem. My advice: Install any PowerToys you need and use. Don't install or uninstall and that you're not using. I think you should be fine that way. When in doubt about a particular PowerToy ask about it here and perhaps somebody will have had some experience with it. -- -Ben- Ben M.

Re: Powertoy add ons Steve Silverwood <kb6ojs[ at ]arrl.net> 11/29/2008 5:28:10 AM My approach is a little different: I try out every OneNote PowerToy I run across to see if it's useful at all. If not, I either leave it installed in the event that it does prove useful later on, or I uninstall it and keep the installer handy in case I want to put it back in later on. One thing I learned early on to do, though, is to create restore points in Vista and XP so that if either I or something I install manages to completely farble up the works, I can fall back. //Steve// Steve Silverwood, KB6OJS Email: kb6ojs[ at ]arrl.net Web: http://kb6ojs.com On Wed, 26 Nov 2008 19:05:36 +0000, "Ben M.
