I'm new to tablets and have a new Lenovo X60. I am trying to find the best
sources of general information. For example, what are the best
sites/locations to go to for information (besides this community?!?).

Specific question: I'm using the MS Journal function, but am surprised to
find that I can't link/associate/drag-drop my journal entry to an Outlook
calendar entry (for example when taking meeting minutes). If I can't do this
with MS Journal and MS Outlook, are there other tools/apps that I can
purchase that will do this?

Thanks,
Jon

imho, specific questions to tablet oriented forums are the best way to
get through the startup curve... sorry, don't use outlook so I can't
answer but would assume that the reason is that the journal entry is
graphic and the event expects text only... if not that, expecting a
different graphic form.

You might look at OneNote as that is the ink app which is being
presented as a compatible office component.

Thanks Beverly. I've been looking at OneNote to see if it does what I want.

If you're an Outlook user you'll likely want to get Tablet Enhancements for
Outlook TEO 3 here:

http://www.tabletoutlook.com/teo/default.aspx

Thanks Kevin. I've posted a question on their forums to see if the product
works with Outlook 2002 SP3.

Hi John. I've been meaning to either shut down that forum or post a message
stating that I don't get to check it often. The forum software isn't really
that good and some time ago DNS problems made it so that I can't get
notifications when new threads are posted and since most of the questions
come through email, I just got out of the habit of checking it.

But ironically, I saw your post here first so I'll answer it here then also
go back to the forum to answer it there. TEO 3.0 requires Outlook 2003 due
to the fact that the Outlook 2002 object model guard is practically
impossible to work around in 2002 (that's the thing that pops up those
messages that another application is trying to access Outlook...)

However, I have recently invested in a third party product that will allow
me to avoid those prompts and possibly bring back support for Outlook 2002.
In the meantime you are free to download it and give it a try. It may work
but you will probably have to click the "don't show this again for x
minutes" check box every now and then.

But anyway, TEO does pretty much what you are asking about. It adds an
Outlook Journal form (and forms for appointments, contacts, and tasks) that
have very similar functionality to Windows Journal and stores the document
right in the item.
