Yours was the second hit that came up in Google – and was just what I wanted! I have ON 2007 – and when searching w/i ON and on the Microsoft site (which even sent me to a Facebook site calling ON “omnipotent”), came up with gobbledygook. You gave me what I needed. Thanks!!!!!

Do you have a link for the Education Pack?

Frank, I couldn't answer you before today's release but the Send to OneNote 2003 utility bundled in the free Education Pack is what I have been using to print PDFs and it works flawlessly for me. All Tablet PC owners should download the Pack for this utility alone.

I don't think it matters once it's in OneNote. But, who knows for sure.

Scanning all paper into Onenote is a cool idea. What format should we use though to be safe Onenote will be able to read it? I thought Chris was a bit vague in the info posted on formats.

I've tried printing PDF files to OneNote, and every time the result has been horrible. The PDF file comes in totally illegible. Am I doing something wrong, or is that as good as it gets?

Perry, I added a couple of sentences to the post that I forgot to include. You can scan directly into OneNote by using the Insert/ Picture menu.

I have an older version of the scanner, I think it is a CanoScan 80. It too has the scan to PDF. I’ve watched what it does, and basically it scans to a jpeg I believe and then converts that to a PDF. What would be cool would be the ability to skip the PDF step and go straight to OneNote.

I know you can link to different programs, I wonder if this can be done? (I can’t try it right now myself…my scanner is packed in a box as I’m mid move.)

Jon, as a teacher you'd be the perfect candidate. Don't forget the recent admission by Chris Pratley of OneNote fame who stated that documents scanned in to OneNote now will be searchable in the next version of ON. Powerful, powerful stuff and I must admit a driving force to propel me to get the scanner.

Good idea James,

I’d be interested to hear how this works out for you. I have a Canon Scanner too that has been gathering dust under my desk (it sits ontop of my desktop tower). I have been using a Motion M1200 for about 2 years and was thinking of upgrading at some point but I want to make sure I get the maximum use out of it and try to achieve its full potential, otherwise its just an expensive second monitor. So far I’ve transferred my paper diary to Outlook and I’m looking for new ways to put the tablet to good use. Scanning into OneNote some of the resources and paperwork I use sounds like a good idea, it would certainly reduce the amount of paper I seem to carry around with me.

Perhaps I coudl start a blog – The Paperless Teacher :)
