Links to outside files as well

[Lindsay V]

Although linking to pages in One Note would be helpful, at least for me, a
more helpful linking feature would be for me to be able to link to external
files (of any format) and/or be able to "drop" the file into the folder and
have the file stored in the folder in the One Note directory with an icon in
the One Note screen that would allow me to open the file with its respective
program.

I use One Note for tracking my class notes and homework, and currently am
forced to maintain two file structures; one in One Note with all my class
notes and a connected one with teacher handouts, lecture notes, and homework,
as well as scanned in tests. Sometimes it is confusing to figure out what
files go with what notes, and so being able to directly link them would make
a huge difference.

If you really need this ability, Evolution software will let you place
external file links (.doc, xls, ppt, etc) on your ink pages next to your
class notes.
The trial version at http://www.tabletevolution.com will let you see if it
helps organize all of your information sources in one place.

I must be missing something -- why can't you just drop the files onto the
appropriate OneNote pages?

I think you can do both---link to other OneNote pages AND link to external
files. You can also drop a copy of the file itelf into your OneNote page.
Fool around with this and you will likely be pleasantly surprised.

The Linking in OneNote 1.0 is a nightmare.

You can link to External files. Linking to other OneNote pages (in 2003) is
not available.
