Is it possible to convert drawings from journal (or OneNote) to Powerpoint or Visio?
The drawings can be copied and paste in PP, that's OK.
But can they be converted in technical drawings?
Perhaps with a third party tool?

Thanks in advance.

I can not easily answer the first part because I am not familiar with how
OneNote stores it's drawings.

Most drawing packages store drawings as images rather than objects. Visio
can load these images, but treats them as single objects. It can not break
it down into it's component shapes.

If Onenote/Journal stores the images as components, it may be possible to
convert the images into real Visio drawings. So far I have not heard of a
3rd party doing this.

(Whenever I get my tablet back I'll look into it. (no promises))

In article <BCB33444-8BB5-4F19-AF5E-E232C4697A81@microsoft.com>,

If you save your OneNote or Journal drawing as a regular graphics file
such as .TIFF then there are some third party apps that claim to be able
to convert them into AutoCAD .DXF files. You can then import that into
Visio. I don't know about PowerPoint. It has been a long time since I
have used AutoCAD professionally so I don't know what is still available
now or how good they are. I do know they were pretty expensive back in
the early 90's.

With the amount of clean up you would have to do I think it would be more
efficient to just import that graphic file into Visio and then use that
as a guide while redoing your drawing cleanly.

The DXF will get you part of the way there. What appears as a box in AutoCad
or Visio may be converted as four seperate lines. Within Visio, these lines
can be joined into boxes.

The resulting Visio drawing will not contain connection points and may
require a significant amount of cleanup.

For PowerPoint, it may not be a big issue if you only need to display the
image rather than manipulate it.

Kathyrn's suggestion sounds interesting, but until Purolator gets their act
together, I can not try out her suggestion.

Purolator finally admitted they "lost" it from one of their "secure" areas
and now Acer can proceed in processing a claim and supplying a replacement.

Hopefully this time they will use a more reliable courier.

I hope so, I bought less than a month ago and I am still waiting to pay for
it.

(and in a month's time, I want to show it off to some of my friends I'' be
meeting on the west coast.)

I sat behind Scoble at that event and got to play with his pre release NEC.

Those seminars do not come this side of the border.

Other than my tablet, I have only seen two other tablets in Canada.
