Can OneNote 2007 do this?

J

jb914

I have Office 2007 system installed.

with the link to OneNote in Outlook can i link all my office PC's into
a single "share" folder containing all my onenote files?

Can i setup each machine to use a specific template with preset
section tabs? If so, does the template need to be installed on each
machine? or in a shared location?

Basically, i need for the users to select the OneNote link button from
within the outlook contact. I want it to go to that contacts OneNote
file. If the contact doesn't have a OneNote file I want a new one to
be created which is based on a template.

any suggestions or pointing to blogs, sites would be appreciated.

You could set up one notebook and open that in all the client computers.
Then you could set up the client computers to store all contacts sent
from Outlook in a particular section.
Do you want each contact to be a separate page, section or section
group?

Yes, i want each client to have a seperate section or a section
group. There are different types of notes on each client.
i want to be able to use a default template to have the groups/
sections preset.

when a user opens up the clients chart it's going to be from the
OneNote link in Outlook. Is this possible?

I don't think you can do this with the built-in tools. But you could
write your own add-in to make this possible.

Is it possible to "EDIT" the OneNote "Contact Notes" Link in Outlook ?
ie. lets say I already have the OneNote section I want as this
Contact's "Contact Notes". Say I met him and took some notes on him
already. Can I copy a hyperlink to this section, Make the outlook
contact, and then "paste" this URL as the "Contact Notes" for this
contact ?

or to simply create a new "OneNote" notebook when you click on it from
Outlook. I have the ability to share the contact thru Outlook, so, i
want to be able to keep a notebook for each contact. I want the
notebook to have my predefined template w/ sections defined.

A new notebook per contact ?

Seems doable for say under 100 contacts, but when contacts number into
1000+ ... it starts to get silly. If you have under 100 contacts, why
don't you use a peppier contact manager than Outlook ?

Actually that is an interesting idea .... Q: what is better ? 2000
notebooks or 2000 section groups of one notebook ?

Maybe i simply need Notebooks by Letter "A" ect. or maybe it's
sections within a notebook like you mentioned. I don't know the
limitations of OneNote. I have a SQL Database that stores information
on my contacts and i present it within the customized Outlook form. I
have a seperate module that keeps track of documents within MS Word.
I just thougth it would be great to somehow link each contact to
OneNote and share the data with the users by "pointing" everyone to
the same shared directory.

are there limitations of OneNote 2007 that would prevent this?

interesting setup.

well, you could make a section on your client. Right click on this
section and select: Copy HyperLink to this section. Then just paste
this hyperlink in the web page address of Outlook or just paste it in
the NOTES section.

Oddly, when you open Sections or Notebooks this way, OneNote forces
you to open a new copy of the Section/Notebook ... somehow it can't
detect that one is open and that the focus should just shift there.

Weird.

I'd call it a bug.
