Microsoft One Note and Zotero Folder Interface

[Zach]

I use Microsoft One Note, in addition to meetings, emails, etc., for
categorizing and storing citations and original research from the medical
literature. I recently installed Zotero and found the simple folder tree
outline (for those of you familiar with Zotero it is the left column) much
easier to see than the Book/Section/Subsection/Page schema that comes with
One Note.

Is there any way currently to create a similar interface, so that this
outline would be easily visible in both Book (i.e., all sections,
subsections, pages) and Section forms?

I have tried the Powertoys Table of Contents which I thought would address
this but does not work on any of the computers on which I have installed it.

Thank you.

Yes, there are two PowerToys which might be of help:

1.) TreeView Beta

See the notes there.



2.) InstantNavigator for OneNote

The TOC Powertoys aims at a different direction. It's most useful.
It runs fine on my system and I use it really often.

I have no ides on what might be wrong on your side.

Thanks very much for the information. Unfortunately, I can't find
anything different in my One Note after installing Treeview. Don't quite
understand why some of the add-ons I've installed seem to not be
viewable/workable. I'm on vaca and when I get home I'm going to try
installing on One Note on my home computer.

Thanks again.

Thanks very much for the information. Unfortunately, I can't find
anything different in my One Note after installing Treeview.

Was the TreeView powertoy properly installed?
Do you see it listed under "Tools | Options | Add-ins"?

Is the button "TreeView" shown in the toolbar?

This powertoy will not change anything *in* ON. Clicking on the button
brings up a pop-up window with a tree of all open notebooks. I comes up
*left* of the ON-window. On my system it's not on top.
You may resize and/or move the ON-window to right. Perhaps the window is
visible then.

For further details pls see the the Author's website (incl. comments).

Don't quite understand why some of the add-ons I've installed seem
to not be viewable/workable.

Sometimes some do not work at once. As to my experience ON should be
closed when installing PowerToys.
Sometimes it needs a restart of Windows.
And one should always select to install for all users.

I'm on vaca and when I get home I'm going to try installing on One Note
on my home computer.

Pls keep us informed on how things develop.

P.S. I installed the utility meanwhile. It works for me. I can hardly
use it, however, because of color problems appearing under Vista :-( :-(

Rainald:

Thanks very much unfortunately I still can't see anything different in ON.
I installed, rebooted, etc. etc. and even though Treeview appears in add-ons
I can't figure out where on earth the thing is. The video looks great
though, wish I could access it.

BTW it sounds like you are one of the developers of ON if you are Kudos to
you and team I LOVE this software and use it regularly for meetings and what
I call 'active presentations (I use ON as a 'flip chart' during meetings
which simulataneously gives minutes that can be distributed seconds after the
meeting is over)' also I'm a family practice doc and researcher and use ON
for collecting research, commenting and distributing same. If you are
aware of any groups to test out medical stuff I would love to help out!

I assume it's just *behind* your ON window.
As said, the beast opens to the left side of an ON window (not on top).
Your window might just be a bit near the desktop's left ...

The video looks great though, wish I could access it.

Me too ;-)
As said: On my system the TreeView windows appears to the left of the
ON-window.
I just can not use the tool due to the color settings :-( :-(

Totally wrong!
I'm nothing more and nothing less than a user.
I just love ON ;-) ;-)

I share your praises of ON!
But I'm thousands of miles away from anything related with medicine.
