Published 10 January 07 04:21 PM | Michael S. Scherotter 

What happens when you combine the two best Tablet PC Applications?

Take a look: OneNote 2007 + MindManager


Map the hierarchy of OneNote Notebooks, Sections, and Pages


Export a map to OneNote to sketch on it.

I love this - but unfortunately I'm getting some errors when trying to open OneNote 2007 notebooks from within MindManager.

I get: "Object "CmjDocumentCollectionComObject" reports and error: 'unable to create document'

The Export to OneNote2007 notebook does nothing.

However, the export page from OneNote to MindManager works great.

JRH found that this solution does not work with the OneNote 2007 Beta.  I will work on fixing the cryptic error message.  This solution only supports the released version of OneNote 2007.  You can try it here:

This is a truly wonderful new add-on.  The best yet! Great new way to navigate through a Onenote hiearchy!  This enhances the value of both pieces of software, and will greatly increase the amount of time I keep mindmanager open during my workday..

I do have one simple suggestion/request for improvement, which I hope is technically feasible. That is to have an option for the hyperlink to reach into Onenote's cached copy of a shared folder, if this can be done:

Some context:   Many of us use shared notebooks, for instance my wife and I share a Notebook for 'House' matters that is located on a shared drive (mapped as the Z: drive on both of our computers).  One of the most powerful things about Onenote 2007 is that you are always working off a cached copy of any shared notebook, and changes are syncronized later.  Hence I can take my laptop to the office, make changes to the shared notebook, and as soon as I'm back on my home network using Onenote the changes get synced to the Z: drive shared notebook, for my wife's version of Onenote to bring into her own cache.

The problem: The hyperlinks in the mindmap created by the addon provide links to notebooks on the Z: drive, but this drive won't be available unless I am at home tied to the home network.   Is there anyway to provide an option to have the hyperlink to the cached version of the notebook?

This add-in is working very good and it would be more perfect if a link to the MindManager branch would be included into the source-page of OneNote. Then a seamless navigation between Notes in MindManager and OneNote is possible and very efficient.

It would be very nice if this could be implemented.

###I´m working with the beta version of OneNote 2007###

Does it works also with OneNote 2003 ?

# Michael S. Scherotter said on February 15, 2007 9:05 AM:

A bi-directional data access API one of the new features in OneNote in 2007.  Without that, this integration is not possible.  If you are interested in the sketching on maps functionality only for OneNote 2003, you can use this: http://mindjetlabs.com/cs/files/folders/mindjetlabs/entry51.aspx

Thanks,

Michael
