One Note on Mac

[Wey Michel]

I used to work with PC and MS Office 2003 and I found a powerful component
that's named One Note. Now I'm using MS Office 2004 for Mac on my Macintosh
Computer. It's obvious that One Note isn't in the suite(maybe Microsoft
decided that). And interesting it is that Word has a Notebook function like
what One Note has. Do you think Microsoft plans to develop a 'One Note' for
Mac though it may be embedded in Word? Let's discuss it.

A ton of stuff isn't in the MacOffice suite, because it doesn't exist for
the Mac--OneNote, Access, Project, Publisher, Visio, etc--and depending on
the suite you buy, they aren't necessarily included in WinOffice either.

Michel Bintener had a very good statement on this issue recently.

I think the MacBU borrowed some features that looked good, but I doubt they
will decide to spin it off into a new app. No one here really knows,
though--depends on what MS thinks might be profitable.

Oops... There're surely a lot of stuffs in MS Office on PC that Mac version
doesn't have. I think we need them sometimes but we don't have them, that
makes me turn to PC for work on certain things then turn to Mac to do more.

Hey, If you've got the money, live in both worlds! That's what I do.
I'm hard pressed to find a WYSIWYG web authoring program that I like
better than Frontpage. I wish I could. It would save me a lot of money.
I've got to buy two platforms of Office!

Well, let's see. I'm not very clear on what these Windows programs do, but
I think:

For Access, investigate FileMaker Pro or Panorama, or 4D.
For Visio, investigate OmniGraffle.
For Publisher, try Pages, maybe.

For OneNote, I think there are a *lot* of journaling/outlining apps for the
Mac.

If you want a One Note application look at Notetaker.
It is a Next program that was ported to OSX.

Much better than OneNote.
