64-bit "Print to OneNote" solution now available

  • Article

Good old David Rasmussen who is Group Program Manager of OneNote has built (in his "spare" time) a way to send printouts to OneNote 2007 directly on 64-bit Vista and Win7. It's a little clunkier than the built-in 32-bit only solution that comes with OneNote 2007, but if you use a 64-bit OS like I do you've wanted this for a long time.

David's project lives on codeplex, which is an open source location for projects that Microsoft employees work on. If you want to improve David's stuff, go right ahead. It's pretty impressive that a guy as busy as David had any time to do this at all, but the OneNote team has always felt the need to respond to customers and this has been a top request for awhile as 64-bit machines have really taken off since OneNote 2007 was released.

    Chris, Codeplex isn't "an open source location for projects that Microsoft employees work on." There is no restriction to Microsoft employees and most of the projects there are not from Microsoft employees. If any one place best justifies your description, it is probably MSDN Code Gallery which has much less code/projects and which does seem to be virtually Microsoft employees only. Mike Walsh

    Dave: IE8 supports the Onenote 2007 web clipping tool. I have it in my tools menu. there is a web clipping tool for firefox as well (I think pretty easy to find via search). Mike: Sorry my grammar construction was poor. The projects that MS employees work on that they want to open source end up (often) on codeplex. It would be meaningless to say that only MS employees work on them once they are up there (wouldn't be open source) or for me to invite readers of this public blog to go work on them if that were true. Also I did not mean to imply that only projects started by MS employees are there. My wording was not restrictive that way, but I can see how someone sensitive to that might read that into what I wrote. My bad!

    Not a problem, Chris. I don't think I'm particularly sensitive, but I continually monitor the codeplex system for new stable SharePoint solutions and so am well aware that very few of those projects are from MS people. I genuinely thought that you thought (!) that all the projects there were started by MS people. Yet another example of how the written word can be misinterpreted ...

  • The zoom on onenote is pretty poor, even tho it's something i use all the time - and such use is intrinsic to the use of a program like this.

  • I suggest you either:

  • add + and - buttons for instant zooming (with adjustable default zoom)
  • add a slider
  • make canvass avab to xp users It's poor and should be fixed. It's intrinsic to the way users use the program - which u will see for yourself if you get researchers to observe them. This comes close to a bug. Otherwise, love the program - so thanks for the rest of it!

    I know this is off topic, but I thought I would ask the experts. I am a neuroscience researcher and I use Onenote as a lab notebook (e-lab-book.com). I was wondering why onenote doesn't have the ability to do sub-sub-pages and sub-sub-sub-pages? How can I get that to be included in 2010?
