Powerpoint-style objects for non-pen based diagrams in OneNote

[Jumpin' Jeff the Taco Chef]

OneNote is a great place to keep everything...however for the vast majority
of people who do not have a Pen computer...it reeks for input of diagrams.
If Microsoft could enhance OneNote to give me access to Powerpoint-style
lines, circles, boxes, etc...I could capture everything in text, pictures and
from a diagram perspective. What I do now, is launch PP, build the diagram,
and clip it for insertion into OneNote...but its a pain and I can't edit it
easily. I'm not likely to buy a Pen-based computer...they're still pretty
lame

I wouldn't agree about the Tablet PCs being lame, but support for drawing
shapes and OLE in general has often been voiced for the next version.

Well, I use a Tablet PC as my primary work computer and I find it to be
quite effective. That aside the inclusion of drawing shapes in OneNote is
a popular feature request.
