OneNote - LiveWriter Integration?

C

Is anyone aware of a OneNote powertoy that allows text/graphcs to be sent to
LiveWriter?

I use OneNote for gathering research and organizing my thoughts into blog
posts. I'd like to be able to select text and, using a toolbar button or
right click menu function, send it to LiveWriter for final proofing before
publication.

Another nice to have would be an add-in for LiveWriter that allows me to
"send to OneNote" so I can send any posts or drafts back to OneNote so they
are available in a shared notebook when I'm on a different system and not
connected to the net.

I ever used "Live Writer" I thought that I'd better not reply.
But nobody replied so far:

ON has the feature "Send to blog". But this requires Word 2007.
Could you live with that instead of Live Writer?

Fir a long time I have been watching out for PowerToys (which does not
mean that I'd know everything). But I did not yet come across a thing
for Live Writer.

I've been banging my head against a wall trying to accomplish the same thing. I finally figured out something that works.

Note: I'm using the 2011 beta version of Live Writer, with an additional plugin called Clipboard Live, which can be found here:
http://gallery.live.com/LiveItemDetail.aspx?li=326740b7-413b-4e0a-bf51-dd49258fd84a

What you do is to copy your colorized/formatted text or graphics in OneNote, and paste it into Microsoft Word. Then copy the same stuff in Word, switch to Live Writer, and in the Insert menu, select Clipboard Live.

It's an ugly work-around, but it does work.

As had been announced for quite some while - among many other groups -
MS did meanwhile shut down this very NewsGroup.
Even if some third-party providers who had mirrored the groups have not
yet stopped offering the groups, this group is dead. There ain't no use
in further posting here.

The new place for OneNote is the forum "OneNote: Sharing, Creating and
Managing Notebooks" in the "MS Answers Forums" hierarchy:
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/addonenote/threads
To take part one need's an MS Live account (which meanwhile has become
an essential, anyway).

Quite some folks who in the past had worked with a NewsReader (NUA) do
not like to visit the forums through a browser.
Therefore it's important that meanwhile proper instruments have been
created which enable the usage of the forums with all of the common
NewsReaders (like Forté Agent, 40tude Dialog etc.)and Mail Clients (like
Outlook Express [OE], WinMail, Thunderbird, Windows Live Mail etc.).
IMHO communicating through this channel one can be ways more productive
than wading through the forum's threads.

To do so a "bridge" is needed.
MS themselves have created two "NNTP bridges":
- Microsoft Answers NNTP Bridge (for the "Answers" forums;
- Microsoft Forums NNTP Bridge (MSDN, Technet and the rest).

The far better choice, however, is the "Community Forums NNTP bridge
created by the MVP J. Kalmbach
http://communitybridge.codeplex.com/
It has many fine features (even an auto-logon and it is really easy to
use.

Way to go:
(a) download the bridge and install it;
(b) in the NUA/mail-client create a News-account:
(aa) Servername: 127.0.0.1
(bb) Serverport #: 119
(c) start the NNTP bridge
(d) logon to MS Live;
(e) start the NUA/mail-client.

The NNTP bridge has to be started prior to starting the NUA/mail-client.
If the option "Auto start NNTP server" is selected, the login to MS Live
will be automatically.
The start of the bridge can be automatically if included in the Win
"Autostart"/"StartUp".

Hope this helps in getting connecting again!

P.S. For the users of Outlook Express (OE) and WinMail:
The good old "OE-Quotefix" co-operates pretty fine with the bridge
