Yes, they are only internal. There is no way someone external will get
them.

Just out of curiosity, are mvps internal or external? Or is that
infromation itself internal? <g>

We MVPS are definitely external. We are not Microsoft employees, just users
like the rest of you. If you want more information on the MVP program, check

if we live without making a difference, it makes no difference that we lived

I am not an MVP, but I am definitely external as well.
All that we get told by Microsoft is that stuff has been fixed in later
internal builds, but we never get those.

Grant,

found this post v interesting as you appear to have been through the process
that I am going through now - evaluating ON (only 2003 at present) against
GoBinder. I prefer most things about ON apart from one must have. I need to
be able to bring documents (including pdf's) into ON and then search the
contents for specific keywords. If I "Import Document as Picture" I cannot
seem to search the content. Am I missing something obvious?

There was a PowerToy link on the office site that offered software that
seemed to fix this - but the link is now dead.

Can I do what I want in ON 2007 - I am downloading the BETA as I write.

If you want to evaluate things, you'd better install the ON 2007 beta
(available on the MS Office Beta site for a nominal fee of $ 1.50).
It has been by far improved and ON is a really fantastic program now.
I prefer most things about ON apart from
one must have. I need to be able to bring documents (including
pdf's)
into ON and then search the contents for specific keywords. If I

I can not say for ON 2003 (which I had installed for a couple of days
only ).
But in ON 2007 there is an automatically OCR feature working in the
background.
Automatic OCR works on each image imported (by pasting or by printing
into ON) terribly fast. And as the result is index automatically ON
2007 is able to do an index based search in all of the images.

You can search the text of even an imported picture within ON 07 but you
have to install the Windows Desktop Search v 3.0 beta first. Search back
through the NG for "Windows Desktop Search" or "WDS" for more
information.

thanks for the feedback - note for anyone doing the same - Peter madden's
post "how I made searching work in OneNote 2007" is very helpful.

Never mind OneNote 2003. It was a marginally useful product at best.
OneNote 2007's intuitive and functional internal and external linking
to documents/URLs and it's Outlook integration bring it's usefulness to
a previously unseen level.
