Office 2007 Service Pack 2 (SP2) has shipped. For OneNote users it includes some improvements to SharePoint synchronization which should make it a more stable sharing platform. Another new feature in SP2 is that from now on if you want to remove the OneNote icon from the Windows System Tray you'll have to do that under Tools | Options in OneNote. You won't be able to right-click the icon and permanently remove it from the tray anymore.
You can download it by going to http://update.microsoft.com and letting Automatic Update find and install it for you.
As so often seems to happen, early copies of Office 2010 seem to be leaking thru various dubious sources. However it's happening members of the media have been getting their hands on it and posting early information and screen shots. So...here are some of your first looks at OneNote 2010. I'll refrain from comment about the shots themselves at this point.
When I send content from Outlook 2007 to OneNote (as I often do) I get annoyed when it insists upon putting it in "Unfiled Notes" and making me move it manually later. 99% of the time I'm already looking at the section in OneNote where I want the content to go. So in OneNote I go to Tools | Options | Outlook Integration and I change all of the settings from "New page in Section..." to "New page in current section."
You can also use this if you want to create a custom section in OneNote that will act as a repository for content sent from Outlook. Just create your custom section in OneNote then change the default location from "unfiled notes.one" to whatever you want. And yes...that location can even be on a network share if you want to create a shared section for holding Outlook content with your team.

Microsoft has free support newsgroups available for nearly every product they make. In these newsgroups you can read questions and answers that other people have posted for the product or you can post your own questions and get answers from the other posters.
How to Ask a Question: When posting a question to a newsgroup please be sure to indicate what software you're using, what version of the software you're using, what SPECIFICALLY you are trying to do and what happens when you try to do that (especially any error messages you may be receiving). It is also helpful if you tell us what you have already tried in an effort to fix it so that we don't waste time telling you to try things you've already attempted.
| NNTPNNTP (Network News Transfer Protocol) is the traditional way of accessing newsgroups. The traditional Microsoft program for NNTP is Outlook Express though in Vista this has been upgraded and renamed to "Windows Mail". Click the links below to open the Microsoft OneNote newsgroups in your NNTP reader: | Web ForumsSince NNTP is a tad esoteric Microsoft has introduced a web interface for their support newsgroups. These are the same newsgroups you get via NNTP, just in a web browser. Click the links below to open the Microsoft Word newsgroups in your web browser: |
