Linking names in OneNote 2007 with Outlook Contacts

[Ed]

Hi,

I have Office 2007. I use OneNote regularly and love it.

One thing I've never been able to figure out is how to link to an Outlook
contact from within OneNote.

Example: I write a note and indicate in the note that Bob Smith was at the
meeting. I'd like to be able to somehow click on Bob Smith and have it launch
his Outlook contact info. It would be nice to see it from within OneNote
rather than minimizing the program, going to Outlook and launching that
program and then going back to OneNote.

I've tried everything I can think of but so far I'm either missing something
or this feature doesn't exist.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Ed

AFAIK the trick is to start in Outlook:

Within Outlook's Contacts folder there is a Contact Notes button that
when clicked sends the Contact information to a new OneNote page and
creates a link from the OneNote page back to the Contact item in Outlook.
That's the link you wanted. Now write your notes.

Yes, that's the best way. There's a small article on using Outlook and
OneNote together here: http://www.officeforlawyers.com/onenote/onandol.htm
