I use MS Office for Mac 2008 — esp. Word and e-mail (entourage). How does Notebook 3.0 interface with MS Office apps? I need at some point to copy notes from my notebook directly into Word. Does this work? Easily?

Right now I’m using OneNote in a Windows environment, and that works well, igt being an MS Office app. But I want to be able to do the same thing in a Mac environment. I use Leopard.

Is Notebook 3.0 a good choice for me?

@Tom Edgar – perhaps MS OneNote? I have not used it but have heard people speak favorably of it. –Rick Cogley

Does anyone know if there is a similar program like this available for a PC?

@jumpingfox What do you mean the export is bad? When I’ve used it, it’s fine?

As much as I love the interface of Notebook, I hate it kidnaps my data. Let’s face it, the exporting is BAD. Test it, you’ll see what I mean.

The software is beautifully designed, but I need it to share the content with other apps. I was hoping it would be improved in version 3. Unfortunately, not yet.

I use Journler for my note-taking needs. I haven’t delved too deep into its full range of features, but the organization is really nice and simple. And I believe it’s still free.

Circus Ponies Notebook is one of the best note taking applications I’ve ever used. In CPN 3 the addition of flowcharting, multiple stickies types and tablet support with character recognition is awesome. It’s well worth your money.

@ Gideon, Curio’s also twice as expensive as Notebook (and five times as much from the upgrade POV.)

As is normal with reviews at MacApper, this one only scratches the surface of the program… if you aren’t familiar with it, you owe it yourself to check it out.

Here’s a link to their video tour for the lazy out there:

I’ve tried all these notebook programs exhaustively… Notebook doesn’t hold a candle compared to Curio. You should give it a try, MUCH more functionality than Notebook and useful for so many other things!
