Copy and Paste to OneNote (AutoHotKey script)
http://it.knightnet.org.uk/2009/04/copy-and-paste-to-onenote-autohotkey-script.html
After yesterdays OneNote tool, I thought I’d do another while I think about it.
Another annoyance of OneNote is it’s lack of control over pasting information from the clipboard. I’ve
raised a suggestion with MS to improve this; you can see my
comment in the newsgroup.
To ease things a little if you need to copy and paste lots of stuff to
OneNote, here is an
AutoHotKey script to help. You need to assign this to a hot-key and have
OneNote open in the background. Select something and press the hot-key and it will be pasted (using the current default paste option as this cannot be controlled) into the current note in
OneNote.
