Fix for Daily Journal in OneNote 2007

  • Article

I was reading my feeds, I am way behind, and I saw this great post from AdminID over @ OneNote PowerToys, which discusses how to fix the Daily Journal for OneNote 2007. Here is what AdminID says:

I was manually recreating the functions of the Daily Journal PowerToy using the same format and a "Links" page with a hyperlink to the section, but came across a tip by Ilya Koulchin this morning…To get the Daily Journal PowerToy to work in OneNote 2007…

  • Have to use the first open Notebook
    • Create a Section Group named "Journal"
    • Inside of that create a Section Group named "2006″
    • Start up OneNote Daily Journal and press Windows-J for it to create a Section for the month and a page for today.

And you can see what Ilya said earlier:

We've tried to maintain compatibility with existing plugins for this release, however, due to the many improvements (such as allowing users to have multiple notebooks), it is not always clear how to map previous functionality into the new model, as evidenced in this case. In the future, if you discover other plugins that don't work as expected you can log them as bugs on the connect site.

Ilya is one of the kickass developers on the team who have been working on sync'ing, the API and more. Thanks Ilya & AdminID!
