I acknowledge that in my utter ignorance and careless youthful exuberance I mistakenly attempted to proffer some help, or something - some mere scrapings of imperfect knowledge - which might be of possible use to my fellows, and I regret having done so from such a depth of ignorance and having unwittingly risked blaspheming the dogma, angering the Old Ones and possibly even destabilising the orbit of the Sun about the flat earth and the balance of the turtles below the Earth. I have by this stage come to realise, of course, that I might properly be considered unworthy - or not worthy and lacking in sufficient understanding - to utter the term "Zettelkasten" in such a forum as this. Like I said above, Zettelkasten is a bit of a yawn, and there are plenty of other web sites where the acolytes of Zettelkasten may gather - and indeed do - to sagely consider the practical and philosophical aspects of their treasured subject of study, and at great length. However, this is a digression from the discussion thread which is to discuss Microsoft OneNote experiential Tips & Tricks, not the merits or otherwise of the Zettelkasten (card index) concept or apps. Much to my surprise OneNote surpassed my expectations, so a next step I wanted to take was to give OneNote a try as a Zettelkasten app too.

I recall in the early Windows and Mac OSes, there were card index-type applications that I think came with the OS - and they were great - and I think that PackRat may have been one also. Yes, I do know there are some computerised applications that mimic a card index (or Zettelkasten) - I I referred to some - but I would probably consider those to be largely academic or purist applications with a different definition of "information" compared to my extended data set, and different requirements to my PIM needs as well, of course. I did not intend to offend anyone who actually likes and wants to use card indexes - I mean, I think they were very useful tools, and Rolodexes too - but I had no idea that anyone actually still wanted to build and use them. Hahaha, sorry, my question "of what use would a card index be to anyone in this day and age?" was a rhetorical question. I would have to have the ability to choose per instance. Sometimes I do a new note per clip, but usually a bunch of clips go inside one note. I have eventually settled on copying the content manually (ctrl-c) and pasting it manually in the notetaker where the link gets added automatically. Web clipping? how's the experience? Just in general, I never have liked any automated web clipping.either the way it creates new notes annoys me, or it doesn't work right, etc. Searching in general? I think it's quite good, one of the strengths.

Printing and print previewing? How do you feel about it.

How is the import/export capabilities? Does it get mangled? is it easy enough.exporting is more important. OK IainB, before I study this thread in more detail, let me ask you for some subjects that I'm interested in (in case it hasn't been covered in the earlier posts).ĭo you think Onenote works well as a daily journal? Writing random subjects on a daily basis, searching through them.exporting them later, etc.?
