Outlook Notes -> OneNote

[JohnB]

I'm very new to OneNote. I keep a lot of "notes" stored in Outlook's Notes,
and keep that synced with my PDA so I have it wherever I go. I would like
to start putting what I have in Outlook Notes into OneNote. I don't see any
way to do that from Outlook Notes. So I dragged and dropped a Note from
Outlook to OneNote. I get a popup message giving me 2 options; 1.) Insert
a copy of the file into the page, or 2.) Insert the file as Printout so I
can add notes to it.

The first option isn't what I want. I need to be able to add notes. But,
if I choose the second option, all it does is create an image of the text
that's in the Outlook Note. Which means I can't edit what's in there. I
can add notes to the new page in OneNote, but it's just adding the text
below or above the image.

Is there a way to transfer Notes from Outlook to OneNote, that is in text
form?
Thanks.

Your options are pretty much limited to Copy and Paste.

Actually, the Outlook Notes to OneNote powertoy ('Daniel Escapa's
OneNote Blog : Export your Outlook notes to OneNote'
(http://tinyurl.com/mmuvdb)) will at least make the export process
easier.

That looks interesting. Thanks.

It does not only "look" interesting, it's just the way to go.

Having transferred the Outlook notes to OneNote you may make use of
ON-Mobile's feature of synching the notes with the PDA (and vice versa).

For doing so, all of the respective notes have to be put into the
"OneNote Mobile"-notebook on the PC.
The tool needed for that is the "Send to OneNote Mobile/Copy to Device"
PowerToy:
