OneNote and Outlook harmony

I've been playing around with Microsoft OneNote again recently. I have to admit that when I first tried this application I couldn't see enough value to justify the initial learning curve. And this, from a card-carrying member of the Tablet PC Owners Group...

But having toyed with the new 2007 version of OneNote Beta 2, and seen the extraordinary power of the application when used in combination with Outlook, I'm a convert. I find it really useful being able to create tasks directly from the notes I write during meetings, and embedding links to information from different sources, including meeting information from my Outlook Calendar, is really helpful.

Of course, the 2007 version of OneNote is not yet publicly available, but take a look at some of the tips on https://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA011429321033.aspx to see if you too could get value from becoming a OneNotes convert.

Have a great weekend!

  Please help!  I recently had to "restore" my XP Home Edition system...but before I did, I used the "Save my old disk structure" feature on my hard drive.  I have managed to access my documents that were saved under that file.
  
  HOWEVER, the trouble I am having is retrieving ALL those old emails and address books that was "saved" in "my old disk structure".
  
  The question:  How do I import (or even find) that info into the "restored" version of Outlook that I had to put back onto my PC???
  
  Help!
  
  Please send me an email:  bwilliamson@visitwesterville.org

  Hi Bobby, Outlook typically stores all its data in '.pst' files. If you can find a .pst file in your backup you should be able to simply choose File, Open, Outlook Data File to restore the data into your new installation of Outlook.
