Inserting the whole contents of a folder???

[Phil G]

I was demoing some features of Onenotes to a friend who asked me to show her
how to insert the complete contents of a folder into Onenotes. I said "I
don't think thats possible" - she replied someone else had demo'd that to
her over ayear ago but she'd forgotten the proceedure.

Yes you could select multiple files but she's convinced you can simply
select a folder!

Does anyone know if this is possible

I don't think it is as she describes. It depends on what you meant by
"insert". You can right-click any folder in Explorer and select "Open as
Notebook in OneNote". That won't really do anything useful if there aren't
any OneNote files in that folder.

If the "Send to OneNote" printer is set as the default printer, you could
select multiple files and Print them.

What dies she mean by "insert"?
Of it's just a *link*, it's pretty easy:
Just use drag & drop for the folder from the Explorer. This will insert
a hyperlink. Click on that will open the folder in the Explorer.
