copying information from outlook to onenote Ed T 11/15/2008 8:36:01 AM I am trying my best to set up a onenote page, one per person, that tracks what is happening with that person. For starters I would like to simply copy in their contact information and any upcoming appointments they have. Should be simple? I start out in onenote and create a page, then go to tools, create an outlook item, contacts and am taken to outlook where I create a new contact - however when I tell outlook to send the info back to outlook it puts the informtion in a different page "unfiled" so now I have two different pages when I wanted just one. If I repeat the process with an appointment I now have three pages when the whole purpose of onenote I tought was to make it easier to keep everything organized in one place. Is there a better way to do this?

If you send infomration about a Contact to OneNote, it will create a new Page in whatever section you've specified under Tools | Options | Outlook Integration | Contacts. Each time you send information into OneNote it will be added as a new Page and not appended to an existing page. Starting from Outlook per above lets you cut out a few steps from your processing. =?Utf-8?B?RWQgVA==?= <Ed T[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in news:271546AB-092B-42E1-A046-24B58E64A7A6[ at ]microsoft.com: [Quoted Text] > I am trying my best to set up a onenote page, one per person, that > tracks what is happening with that person.

OneNote can =supplement= these tools, especially since you can put a hyperlink in your Outlook data that points to Outlook data, but using OneNote as the sole tool to solve this problem isn't quite the right choice. I remember a saying once: "If the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail." OneNote fans tend to want to use OneNote as their sole tool, but in this case Outlook combined with OneNote would be a better approach. //Steve// Steve Silverwood, KB6OJS Email: kb6ojs[ at ]arrl.net Web: http://kb6ojs.com
