Attaching files to a note in MS OneNote 2003?

[Dileep]

How can I attach files (eg. ppt, doc etc) to a note in MS OneNote 2003? From
the looks of it, it seems such a featuree is not available. I think the
software won't be of much use in that case!

To attach a link or reference to a file, the simplest way is to drag it
onto the page from Explorer. With SP1, you get a popup menu asking what
you want to do with the file.

If you want the contents of a file inserted onto the page so that you can
write notes on it, use Insert | Document as Picture. This only works with
OFfice files.

Another option to place a document into OneNote (If it is not an
Office 2003 document, or if you do not have Office 2003) is to use the
OneNote Image Writer PowerToy which installs as a virtual printer on
your computer. You can then "print" any document (I use it for pdf
files) and it will put it into OneNote. The inserted file is not
editable, but you can add notes, ink and highlight.
