Merge Pages Powertoy

  • Article

It looks like John has posted a powertoy from Jeff Cardon, one of the OneNote Testers, which takes selected pages in OneNote and at the click of a button it will merge all of the pages together into one page.  You can read all about this release here: Merge Pages in OneNote Powertoy and since John didn't include a screenshot here is what it looks like in the toolbar:

I think this is great, often I would take a bunch of web clippings or screen clippings for either a trip I was about to take or for a bug and then I would end up with a bunch of pages in OneNote.  I wanted a way to easily combine all of those into one page, now I could do that with keyboard shortcuts but it was pretty painful and this addin is so much better.

Now I will amend what John wrote:

While I would love to claim this addin was created as a direct result of customer wishes, the truth is that Jeff created after getting pointed in this direction by Dan Escapa . Dan had gotten tired of sending all his bits of data to Side Notes a few pieces at a time and wanted a better way of collecting all the data from different pages together. This is the "better way" :) .

In fact we did get this request from customers who were experiencing the same problems that I mention above.  I send some emails to some people on the team suggesting how this powertoy would work and now here we have it.  This powertoy is a direct result of customer wishes, so thank you and please keep the feedback coming.

I would also like to tip my hat for Jeff Cardon who has been creating some great powertoys, thanks a bunch Jeff and keep up the great work on these powertoys.
