OneNote and Section Groups Iona 3/31/2007 6:14:01 PM I’ve been a user from the get-go, and the early single notebook provided me a place for everything with everything in its place. Until today. I decided that it was time to dump many of my research files (MS Word 1994-2007) into OneNote 2007 and make it my trusted system. Here’s what I did: In Windows Explorer, I opened a folder as a Notebook in OneNote. Thankfully, I made a copy first. The folder consisted of 65 sub-folders, 829 files comprising 61.5 MB. About 90 percent of these files are text. Voila! Outlook did what it said it would do, and off I went to OneNote. My new notebook had taken my sub-folders and all the files and created Section Groups that I’ve been unable to open, take a peek inside, or resuscitate. Before I abandon OneNote’s research capabilities, please tell me what might have happened and what, if anything, I can do about it. Thank you, -- Iona

Re: OneNote and Section Groups "Erik Sojka (MVP)" <esojka[ at ]ms-onenote.net.nospam> 4/2/2007 9:43:01 PM If your goal is to have the content available somehow in OneNote, you might be able to temporarily set the ON2007 printer as your default printer in Windows and then select a bunch of these files and Print them from Explorer. You would have to (re-)create your desired Notebook hierarchy first and then move the scanned docs to the correct location. The scanned docs will be searchable in OneNote but you won't be able to easily turn these docs back into Word docs again. It sounds like you already have a program to hold all of your research files - Windows Explorer - there's no sense in recreating the wheel. OneNote doesn't have the capability to do a mass input of large numbers of files. Mayhaps some enterprising developer could create a utility using the OneNote API... =?Utf-8?B?SW9uYQ==?= <Iona[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in news:F22C23D9-BCE5-4CA6-9D27-FC5BDA3F1542[ at ]microsoft.com: [Quoted Text] > Thanks, Erik, for the feedback.

Re: OneNote and Section Groups "EMRhelp.org" <EMRhelp.org[ at ]gmail.com> 4/3/2007 10:07:28 PM Look into Mylenix's MyInfo. It could provide an interesting bridge to your files. Use the "import files and folders" feature.
