Notes in Outlook or OneNote? "Talal Itani" <titani[ at ]verizon.net> 4/11/2007 4:41:46 PM Hello, I have been using OneNote to write my notes. Outlook supports notes. I am wondering if I should drop OneNote and use notes in Outlook, or use both. Please give me some advise. Thank you. Talal Itani

Re: Notes in Outlook or OneNote? "Ben M. Schorr, MVP" <bens[ at ]bogusaddress.mvp> 4/11/2007 4:58:31 PM Outlook's notes are so primitive as to be almost useless.

Re: Notes in Outlook or OneNote? "Josh Einstein" <josh[ at ]einsteintech.net> 4/11/2007 5:25:11 PM Outlook notes are pitiful. If you are going to compare it to anything in Outlook, compare it to the journal. I am doing alot of work in this area to bridge the Outlook Journal and OneNote since by themselves I think both are sorely lacking. But combined, they are very very powerful. OneNote is a great entry mechanism, but its organization sucks. Once you have more than a couple workbooks and sections it's a major chore trying to find things. Outlook's strength is that it can organize and view information in various ways. So the idea is to get the powerful data collection features of OneNote combined with the powerful organization capabilities of Outlook. Right now you can't do that but you might want to take a look at a free app I developed called OneNote Calendar that acts as a band aid for the time being. http://www.josheinstein.com/download/onenotecal -- Josh Einstein (Tablet PC MVP) Einstein Technologies Tablet Enhancements for Outlook - Try it free: www.tabletoutlook.com "Talal Itani" <titani[ at ]verizon.net> wrote in message news:ed8Th.5081$SK3.4208[ at ]trnddc03...

Re: Notes in Outlook or OneNote? "Talal Itani" <titani[ at ]verizon.net> 4/11/2007 11:59:33 PM Thank you for your input. I think your project is very good. You are right, OneNote is good, but it organization is lacking. Outlook organizes well, but it's notes are not good. Good luck on your project. Talal Itani [Quoted Text] > Outlook notes are pitiful.

Re: Notes in Outlook or OneNote? "Josh Einstein" <josh[ at ]einsteintech.net> 4/12/2007 12:21:18 AM That's typically the problem you'll experience if you try to download it with a browser other than Internet Explorer. As it states at the top of the page, IE is currently required to install the app. It doesn't have to be the default browser, but you still need to use IE to do the initial installation. I'm working on a workaround for that. But in the meantime just use IE to install it. -- Josh Einstein (Tablet PC MVP) Einstein Technologies Tablet Enhancements for Outlook - Try it free: www.tabletoutlook.com "Juan I.

Re: Notes in Outlook or OneNote? "Josh Einstein" <josh[ at ]einsteintech.net> 4/12/2007 1:20:27 AM I apologize, I should have made it clear this was for OneNote 2007 only.

RE: Notes in Outlook or OneNote? Tom Maddox 4/13/2007 6:40:01 AM What an elegant piece of software! Easy to understand and use--I hope it turns out to be as useful as it appears. I've always liked the idea of a "lifestream" organization of data. Thanks for writing it. "Talal Itani" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Hello, > > I have been using OneNote to write my notes.
