Hi all,
I had OneNote installed on my computer for quite a long time now but
discovered its real power only recently. The more I use it, the more I
like its concept -- especially the fact that you don't need to worry
about saving your "documents" to the disk (and I don't mean just
remembering hitting Ctrl+S frequently to not lose your work if
something bad happens; even better is that you just click "new page"
and that's it).
From time to time, however, I need to do something more involved like
creating a better formatted document or doing some calculations and I
have to resort to using Word/Excel. It's OK when you're preparing an
invoice or writing a thesis, but for quick documents or calculations
that have a nature of notes, I hate the old workflow (open Word or
Excel, create a new document, create the content, save it somewhere
and remember where it was in case that I will need to return to it
later).
Currently, I often need to make an unpleasant choice between OneNote
with a very good workflow but some very limited editing capabilities
(heck, we don't even have full-fledged drawing tools) and Word/Excel
on the other side (these tools have world-class feature set but the
old-school workflow).
Please bring those two worlds together. When adding a new page, I want
to be able to say "Add a new Word page" and "Add a new Excel page". I
want to be able to embed Word and Excel regions into the plain OneNote
page. I want to have SmartArt and whatnot is available in Word so that
I can create visually rich notes (mind mapping-like notes; the brain
likes visuals). In Word and Excel, add "Save to OneNote" option. That
would make Office vNext so much more useful and exciting.
What do you think? Would you like this as an OneNote/Office user? I
definitely would.
Regards,
Borek
