Objects in OneNote

[barryg]

I keep looking but I am amazed to not be able to find the
ability to put objects into a OneNote page. Draw tools
for making templates, org charts or other objects would
be useful. Also, is there any way to make the task flags
become outlook tasks or attach folders to outlook
contacts or meetings? Did I miss something or is this
just version 1 "its in the next release" stuff?

Thanks for anyone ahead of me on this...

It's just version one stuff and they have given no indication as to what
would be in the next version.

You can make task flags become Outlook task (Right click on the handle for
that item flag, select "make outlook task", or Ctrl-Shift-C, or use the menu
item in Tools. With Sp1 you can also create meeting requests and contacts.

Draw tools and org chart tools (other than hand-drawn) are not in this
release, although you can make these things in other Office apps and paste
them into OneNote. There is also some stationery available on the web (made
by fans of OneNote) that contain a variety of shapes you can rearrange or
copy to other pages to make flow charts, etc.

You can take OneNote *.one files and put them into Outlook folders if you
like. There is no command that does this automatically. With SP1 of OneNote
2003 (available in final form shortly) it is possible to have PowerToys that
push things from Outlook into OneNote.

OneNote 2003 Sp1 also has a command to import Outlook meeting deatils so you
can pull all the relevant info out of your calendar into your notes.
