ON 2007 and Linking

[Rainald Taesler]

Grueß Dich Patrick,

Yuck. I just switched my OneNote to German

Simply great to know that there's someone having German speaking
software on his machine ;-)

and the naming is off for all of these right-click menus.

What do you mean by "off" in so far?

All of the items in the context menu are *shown*.

It's always the reverse.

Always?

On my machine it's just the *wording* of the fourth item (the one
above the separator line).

You should go on connect.microsoft.com and submit Feedback on this
so that I can be fixed.

Will do so, once I'll be able to get in.
Failed when trying to :-( :-(
Will let you know when having reported so that you can jump in.

I'll reply to rest some other day.

Thanks again
und beste Grueße vom Neckarstrand (auch wenn's bei uns keine
Stocherkähne hat <g>)

Hi Rainald,

What do you mean by "off" in so far?

Wrong. For example, right-click on the Page tab and you'll see the wrong
message too.

Always?

I meant the wording is always reversed.

OK.

OK. So we are talking abou the same thing.

Me knows <bg>.
Aber an dem Teil des Neckars, wo Du früher warst, da hat's die <bg>.

I think there might be a mis-understanding. Linking does indeed work,
whether I want to link to another note, paragraph, page etc. What I am
saying is that when I paste the link, it pastes the entire target where I
paste it. Often times I will highlight some text and then paste. My goal by
doing this is to turn the highlighted text into a link which links to my
target. Instead, it overwrites my highlighted text and replaces it with the
target.

Well, your goal may be to become the Queen of England. But if your method
is to go into the restroom and sit down, then you aren't going to get the
kind of throne you may have expected. I have never, ever, ever known of a
program where you can just select text and paste and have it know you
wanted to paste a hyperlink. When you copy a hyperlink to the CLIPBOARD
then that is what the clipboard is going to contain and that is what is
going to be pasted. You always have to use a dialog of some sort to
create a hyperlink.

I have been in a lot of newsgroups and forums where users expect to be
able to do something simple and have the program just know what they
really wanted it to do. Unfortunately it just doesn't work that way. When
the computers can really read your mind that's when I turn them off.

create a hyperlink.

I should correct myself. You always have to use a dialog to create the
kind of hyperlink you are looking for.

Didn't some of the Kapor code for that amazing PIM "Agenda" (do I have the
name right?) end up in Organizer? Agenda had an early "connect info
anyway/anywhere, pre Internet, capability. All the info had to be local to
your machine or on your corporate newtork. I was amazed by what it could do.

Anyway, nostalgia, as long as we are talking about remembering.

Jonathan <jonathan7zerozero7(use numbers) at yahew dot usual

Honestly: I cannot say.
I cannot even remember to have come across something called "Agenda".
The "Organizer" had been created by a little software company called
ThreadZ.
It was fully graphical designed application, resembling an organizer
binder.
Most intuitive design and truely innovative.
And most powerful. And as said: Linking everything available locally
in some king of net of links.

I came across it in the very early days of Windows when I was looking
for a successor for the fantastic "Sidekick", a piece of most
versatile software form the early days of the IBM PC. I had spread
around my needs and one day some a student came along with the
Organizer. This was it!
A year or so later Lotus acquired it and it was improved through
several upgrades.
But then the market was taken over by Outlook which was really dumb in
many respects. And with the stress on Notes Lotus stopped further
development and the Organizer did not really meet the age of the
internet.
I would still use it instead of Outlook, wasn't there the problem of
keeping my iPAQ in sync :-( :-(

Agenda had an early
"connect info anyway/anywhere, pre Internet, capability. All the
info had to be local to your machine or on your corporate
newtork. I was amazed by what it could do.

Sounds interesting indeed.

Anyway, nostalgia, as long as we are talking about remembering.

LOL

There's quite some cases where one get can get the nostalgic blues ...
Just a few: Harvard Graphics thrown out of the market by the initially
almost unusable PowerPoint, dBASE kicked out by Access, WordStar and
the great WordStar2000 by the inferior MS Word, AmiPro by the
initially far inferior and hardly usable WinWord etc.
