Add-Ins compatible w2007?

[Jonathan]

All:
In an earlier post Patrick suggested searching Google for add-ins, and the
context of that thread was both 2003 and 2007 hierarchy management
(creating/printing same... see some of the text of that exchange copied below
under "(QUOTE)" string.)

I got the imporession that because data structures were a bit different in
the two versions that all add-ins and power toys could be *assumed* to be
inoperative or worse: potentially dangerous to data. (I might have supplied a
bit of conservative paranoia to that last assumption.) I did the serach for
add-ins and would like to explore some of these for my ON2007 data. Thost
that refer to known differences in ON2003 structure I will avaoid. An example
would be transfer of info between IE and ON and the Outlook conncections now
provided natively in ON2007.

I guess the standard beta caveat applies... but is there a blanket rule for
applying these, such as, "Any add-in that changes data is not going to work
as advertisied."

I just figured all the "extras" would only appear after release plus
development and testing time.

Tell me if I am wrong and let us know what neat 2003 add-in you are using
successfully with 2007! Yup, I know, my mileage may vary. Widely.

Thanks, all, in advance.

Adding to my own post: Chris Prately mentioned (on 2/17/2006) "I don't know
if Opera can have add-ins, but there are now add-ins for both IE and FireFox
to send to OneNote... "

I couldn't find any Firefox items that refer to OneNote. Yet. Searching on
the FireFox site -- using the string, "send to" does not turn up obvious
suspects but the web image e-mailers might work to send to a OneNote page.

Take a look at Daniel Escapa's blog (you can get a link from Chris
Pratley's blog). He has blogged the past two days on OneNote PowerToys
and some of those work for 2007.
