OneNote and excell compatiability

[FVC]

I often work with numbers when i think about projects/work. So i need the to
be able to insert an excel file into Onenote, and accordingly format the
worksheet and enter data - just as we do in MS word. This allows me to have
my summary projections/calculations in the same onenote document where i am
brainstorming my thoughts

With OneNote 2007, you'll be able to insert the actual file into OneNote.
Note that this is just the file, it is not something where you see an Excel
grid within OneNote.
ON 2007 has tables built-in though. The table feature is geared towards
notes, which means it doesn't support sorting, calculations or any of that.

That helps. but I would still like to have the ability to use an excel file
(with formats, formulas, calcuations) within onenote, just like in MS word.
I hope it maybe something you can add in the next version of Onenotes.

Thanks

I am not the one adding it I am just an Office 2007 beta testers, not
someone from Microsoft. You can hope that the OneNote team decides to add it

Unfortunately, that requires OLE, which is not supported in the current
version.

When I run into this need, I insert a FILE:// link to the file and open
up the document when needed.

Strangely, Microsoft seems never to have gotten the hang of OLE except for a
couple of applications. I gave up using Visio because trying to insert Visio
drawings into Word documents is so difficult. Again with OneNote, which seems
a natural for embedding objects, they've just ignored it. Pity.
