Funny, isn't it? Not really!

How a simple question of whether to install the power toy IE to ON while on
line or off line gets ignored for days ... and other more complicated posts
that are not even related to being able to run the program are addressed
forth right. Go figure?

Hi Jerry,

part of the reason is probably that the MVPs posting here are most likely
using OneNote 2007 (as am I). As ON 2007 is an either or deal, meaning you
can't use notes from 2007 in 2003 and once you upgrade your notes from 2003
to 2007, that's it for 2003, I wouldn't be surprised if none of us actually
have a working ON 2003 around (except maybe in a virtual machine) and mainly
answer questions from memory.
I myself never used the powertoy, so I can't help you either (you don't need
the powertoy in 2007). Therefore, I would suggest to just try it online and
if doesn't work, try it offline.

Sorry,

Patrick Schmid

I don't understand your question. I have installed that powertoy quite a few
times over the past few years and I have never seen anything referring to
being off line or on line.
If you are running I.E.7 beta, I don't think that powertoy will work in that
version and probably not in the final version.

Patrick,

Are you actually using OneNote 2007 Beta for mission critical
information ?
Based on your previous post of not using OneNote 2003, you are either:

1) not really using OneNote for anything substantive.
2) using OneNote 2007 for mission critical information (not a great
thing to do with Beta software).

..one files are converted individually from version 2003 to version
2007. So it really isn't an "either or thing". You can view 2003
files in 2007 as well without converting.

Actually, I'm still using 2003 much more than 2007, but there are good
reasons for that. The reason I don't have answers on this problem is that I
don't use the PowerToy - I use SnagIt to get my content from browser to
notes... :)

2) using OneNote 2007 for mission critical information (not a great

Click to expand...
That one. I converted fully from 2003 to 2007. I know that 2003 files are
opened read-only in 2007, but that's pretty useless.
I know that using beta versions for mission critical stuff isn't the
greatest thing in the world to do, but it's really the only way I would
actually test anything. Software that just sits on my computer and that I
open for testing purposes only, almost never gets opened, because I don't
find the time for it. So I rather run the risk and use beta software for
mission critial stuff. Have I been burned already by doing so? Yes, of
course (not with OneNote though). If you are in the beta (judging by your
post, you might be), I'll invite you to take a look at the private
newsgroups and some recent posts of mine there (I'll point you the posts if
you email me). Still, I am continuing to do it. The only time I actually
open any Office 2003 program is when I need to verify how something looks
there compared to 2007, or when I am stopped by a bug in 2007.
It's a calculated risk that is in my opinion worthwhile taking. A
precondition of course is that you know what you are doing and can deal with
the software being beta. I would NEVER recommend to a normal user to work
with beta software. Using beta software for real work is really only for
people who can deal with annoyances, bugs, crashes, reduced efficiency,
reduced productivity and occassional data loss without losing their mind.
Preferably, those people also should have some clue how to recover from a
data loss. Also, they should NEVER work without a backup.

I installed the powertoy and I don't think that it matters. It is like
installing any other powertoy from Microsoft.

It does work in 7 beta... it's fine, untill you do zooming, then it messes
up.

Actually zooming is fine too... I think the send to onenote power toy just
reads the html code... and parses and puts the images into onenote with
text.

Jerry, i think you are referring to this; although you have not provided any
real details...or i am not seeing another thread of yours...anyway.

Not sure which of the ON powertoys did this; but hope this helps. The
installer would save files to the TEMP while it was installing. When you
opened IE or Outlook you would be prompted for the installer for the
powertoy. If you point at the downloaded exe it doesnt work.....becuase that
exe extracts files to TEMP.

I have done this to fix it....

-Install the powertoys and open IE or Outlook right after, so that the files
needed are still in the TEMP folder (i am not sure right now which TEMP
folder)
-if you are prompted for files...run the downloaded exe again, then when it
is at the last screen before install.....hold there, and then open IE/Outlook
and it will find the files it needs to complete installation (they are in the
right place because you just extracted them again)

_the key here is a really big temp file or to get them in there at the time
the powertoy/addin is looking to complete its install.

BOY i hope that was your issue or i just typed you out a solution for nothing.
