JR shared these words of wisdom:
I cannot say for Outlook 2007.
Drag+Drop of mails from my Outlook 2003 works as it should. No
crashes.
Unfortunately ON only takes the mails *printed* material.
Different with Outlook Express.
There marking a mail in the list and transferring it into ON with
Copy+Paste copies the content of the mail as text; therefore it can be
edited in ON.
This does not happen on my side too.
Each clipping made with the clipping tool (be it in ON or from a
sidenote) correctly lands on the active (open) page.
Nothing appears in the TaskBar.
AFAICS this would not be a thing of MS alone and might need the
consent of the producers of the other software.
Apart:
What this thingy actually does is not much more than just Copy+Paste.
If in IE one has not marked anything on the web-page it copies the
whole page to the clipboard. If parts are marked, these are copied.
And then the content of the clipboard is pasted into ON.
All of this can be done manually with the same result.
So in fact what it does is saving a few keystrokes.
The same with other applications.
In Acrobat f.e. one can copy (a) text or (b) as an image to the
clipboard.
And the rest is just the same.
When copying as text even the links in the Acrobat document are
transferred into ON (naturally this can not work if copied as an
image).
Yes. That's easy enough (see above).
With Acrobat there are 3 ways:
(a) Print to ON from Acrobat (be it the only the Reader or the full
Acrobat.
Selections of what to print are made in Acrobat's printer dialog.
(b) One can use the text-selection tool to mark any part of the text
and the use Copy+Paste to transfer that into ON.
In ON the imported text will id editable and hyperlinks work.
(c) One can use the snapshot feature to capture from the PDF as an
image and then transfer it into ON with COPY+Paste.
The result in ON is an image which will be treated with OCR
(automatically) and indexed.
What one use mainly depends on what one needs.
Pasted text will be without any formatting but with working links.
Printed and image-captured parts will look like the original but no
operable links.
a) Cut and paste is easy (see above)
b) But adding a hyperlink to the source document automatically is not
possible this way.
This only works with WebPages in the browser.
It has to be done manually:
- in a file-manager (f.e. Explorer) right click on the source file,
- select copy from the context menu,
- switch to ON and use Shift+Ins to paste to insert from the
clipboard,
- in the dialog popping up select: "Insert link to the original file"
c) Page numbers would have to be added manually (unless a whole page
showing the page number was printed to ON or imported as an image).
*Clippings* from the screen do not have a source <bg>. They just show
what is on the screen.
But the feature of adding the info that it is a clipping from the
screen and adding time stamp is really nice.
