In ON2003, I use to be able to drag-drop a file into my notebook and Onenote
would copy the file into my notebook and place a readable link into my
notebook. As a teacher I find the expectionally useful to organize my
lesson/unit plans. Is there anyways that this can be done in ON2007, either
with directly or with a 3rd party application. So far this is my only
complaint about the new version.

OneNote 2007 lets you do three different things:
- Add a link to a file on a page
- Embed the actual file (meaning the file is stored as part of the
notebook and e.g. synched by OneNote if you use multiple computers)
- Insert a file as printout. That means it gets printed to ON and you
can take notes on the printout

Select a file in Windows Explorer and say copy. Then go into ON and the
page where you want it to be and use Paste. You'll get a dialog with
those three options.

Can a 4th feature be added that allows the link to be relative to the
current notebook section as in the previous version of onenote?
Although I understand the rationale behind placing a fully qualified
link in, I would appreciate the option to put a relative link in as in
the previous version. I absolutely hate having to delete most of the
link after I paste it. What was wrong with the old method "copy to
onenote folder and place a link". This worked perfect for me before,
now to achieve the same result it takes me much much longer than drag
& drop. I have to copy file by hand to my folder, drag file to
onenote, and modify the fully qualified link. I do not wish to embed
files in my notebook and hide them from windows explorer. I sometimes
access contents of my notebook in this manner. This was something
about the previous version that i liked a lot and I wish it was back
in onenote 2007.

I use onenote to make lists of files I need to review for my study
time. I make links to files and place checkboxes next to them,
checking them off after I review them. Having the full link is
overkill and a lot of clutter on my notebook. Please please add back
the option to copy to folder and put only a relative link in. This is
a must for me if I continue to use onenote and/or recommend it.

Thanks.

OneNote 2007 is out of the door, so features won't be added to that
version anymore.
Why is embedding not an option for you?

Embedding files hides them from every file manager. Let me turn the
question around: How is embedding files an advantage to me?

The way I use files in onenote is as lists of files to review. For my
classes, I download powerpoints, etc. to my desktop. In onenote 2003
I simply dragged the file to my notebook and it copied it to the
notebook directory and placed a relative link to it. This and free-
form textboxes are the two most important features that I used from
onenote 2003. If I embed, I lose the option of accessing files
internal to the notebook via a file manager. If I embed, I get a list
of icons that would take up far too much space for my checklists and
checkboxes next to each one would be unweildy.

It seems like I read that embedding and fully-qualified links were
implemented in 2007 to keep broken links to a minimum. I would at
least like the power to mess my links up.

I'm not really asking for a feature to be added, I just want a pre-
existing feature back! It can't be that hard to add this. How would
I go about writing a "powertoy" to accomplish this?

Thanks,
Todd

How about a sub-page with all the embedded files?
The major advantage is that the files travel with your notebook. So if
you sync your notebook between a desktop and a laptop, all embedded
files will be synced as well.
The files are listed separately from the notebooks in your local cache,
which is generally in \Documents and Settings\username\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\OneNote\12.0\Cache.
I wouldn't recommend accessing the files from there though as a good
strategy if you want to edit them.

This is exactly why I want the feature from onenote 2003 back. I
could edit files via a file manager if needed and didn't have to worry
about the filecache issue you mention below. I still do not embed and
don't like the way embedded files end up as part of the onenote file.
It takes me 4 steps more to get files to where I want and to get the
relative link in place.I don't sync with another computer and my
directory structure does not change. I want to drag and drop and copy
to notebook (and underlying folder) and create a relative link.
Perhaps you can point me to documentation on how to write a powertoy
and I'll just write it myself.
