A second (final?) "beta" of the text file importer for OneNote 2013

  • Artigo

Thanks to a slew of folks that helped test this, I am posting another version of the text file importer updated for OneNote 2013.  The ZIP file is down below my name and it has a readme for how to install it.

Not much more to say here and https://blogs.msdn.com/b/johnguin/archive/2010/06/24/the-text-importer-powertoy-gets-updated-for-onenote-2010.aspx has a good introduction to the tool.

As always, let me know if you hit any snags.

Questions, comments, concerns and criticisms always welcome,
John

    Hi John, any chance you'd share the source for this updated version? I've written a store app which imports evernote files to OneNote via the API but it can't do headers. It seems like whatever code you're using is pulling in headers just fine. I know it (probably) won't work for windows store apps but I'd like to write an importer like yours for evernote files.

    the code is here: blogs.msdn.com/.../source-code-for-the-text-importer-for-onenote.aspxIt uses the 2007 namespace IIRC - the only changes I made over time were updates to the namespace for new versions of OneNote.

    I just found this tool via a Google search for "import text files to Onenote."  I can't wait to try this.I have OneNote 2010 on one machine, and OneNote 2013 on another, and I could use either machine to do my importing.  (I'll be importing into a notebook on OneDrive.)Do you have any suggestion for whether I should use 2010 vs. 2013?Thanks.

    Either should work.  They are essentially the exact same tool - one just uses the 2010 namespace and the other 2013.

    Downloaded and initiated .exe okay, but after browsing for the folder with the text files I wanted to import, the app would go no further.  Applying it to OneNote 2010.

    You need the 2010 importer instead of 2013: blogs.msdn.com/.../the-text-importer-powertoy-gets-updated-for-onenote-2010.aspx(I still need to update this to import to either app).

    Thanks for this tool - worked like a champ!Seems like this ought to be a feature already built into OneNote.Or at least a mechanism to transfer Outlook notes directly to OneNote

    Nice idea, but this tool doesn't support local codepages (aka ANSI). It imports mojibake.
