Read and update a OneNote 'Outline' in a Word add-in

[dyowee]

Good day!
I just want to know if this is possible, or if it is already available. For
example, I persist in a database an Outline tag/fragment of a Notebook in
OneNote. The Outline contains, for example, a simple text, a list, and a
table. Using a Word add-in(VSTO) I read the Outline from the database and
present the Outline in Word, not the xml, but the way it is shown in ON. Then
if I want to update the text, add/remove items from the list, and change the
table, in Word, so that when I view this Outline in ON again, it will display
as it was edited in Word. Not really including the formating, but just the
text stuff, the list, and the table. Is this possible?

Thanks.

It sounds possible. You would need to wrap the edited information from the
db with OneNote XML. then call the OneNote API and update the data on the
page.

I don't know of anyone that has done this yet. If you do, share your
experience!

Good day!
Is there any way to select an Outline programmatically, and then copy the
selected Outline to the clipboard?

Thanks.
