Mr. T 3 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Hi,One feature which I like about OneNote is the ability to insert viewable MS Office documents, much like PDFs are handled in ENote. I believe the documents are "printed" into the note. Such a feature would be great in ENote as the PDF viewer function is great on the road etc when the originating application is not always available (plus, it makes for much quicker viewing of content) Link to comment
BurgersNFries 2,407 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Probably not going to happen for a long time, if ever. If they aren't supporting searchs on Office documents, they probably aren't going to add display of Office docs.viewtopic.php?f=37&t=11949#p47871 Link to comment
Level 5* Metrodon 2,162 Posted February 9, 2011 Level 5* Share Posted February 9, 2011 Also, seeing as Office and OneNote are Microsoft products then it's easier and cheaper - no license fee?I'm sure, if Evernote wanted to do the same that MS would charge a license fee for this viewing capability. Given that I can very quickly open any Office document from Evernote, I'd rather not pay MS another license. Link to comment
Mr. T 3 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Perhaps not a problem if the documents are "printed" into a PDF-like format? That way, any document type could be stored this way (along with the original document as an attachment for future editing) Link to comment
Level 5* Metrodon 2,162 Posted February 10, 2011 Level 5* Share Posted February 10, 2011 Well all users can add PDFs to their notes and the document is then displayed in the note. Sounds like you have the solution to your question? Link to comment
Mr. T 3 Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 Well, yes in a way 8) Although it is obviously more cumbersome to create a PDF for each document you wish to include in ENote, and then to have the original doc stored somewhere else for future editing... Link to comment
Level 5* CalS 5,013 Posted February 14, 2011 Level 5* Share Posted February 14, 2011 ...and then to have the original doc stored somewhere else for future editing...You can store the original document in EN if you like, premium user I think. You and edit with the application and save thereby having the current doc stored there. Of course, the PDF is out of date as soon as you edit and save. Link to comment
wordmuse 1 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I'd settle for being able to view RTF, Open Office and even GoogleDocs files like PDFs. Link to comment
Level 5* Metrodon 2,162 Posted February 16, 2011 Level 5* Share Posted February 16, 2011 I would also like to be able to see my MS OFFICE documents in the viewing screen just as easily as I can see my PDF files.Would it be worth another $50-$100 on your annual subscription? Link to comment
brentpeters 4 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I'd like to see this too. Link to comment
