Autocomplete list is also saved to a data file at \Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\RoamCache The smarties among you will know the last paragraph isn’t quite true. It’s also moved if you migrate your PST file to another computer. That’s a sensible change because it means AutoComplete automatically roams between different Outlook installations. OST if you’re connected to Exchange Server. In Outlook 2010 and later, the Autocomplete list moved to the Outlook data store. Until Outlook 2010, the Autocomplete entries were stored in a file at drive:\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook in a file with an. The heart of AutoComplete was a separate.
To understand the good and bad of AutoComplete, let’s look at how the feature works and where it’s saved.Įach time you sent an email message, the name, email address and mail format are saved to the AutoComplete file. As we’ll see, you can edit the AutoComplete list rather than Microsoft’s ‘all or nothing’ approach. There’s also an option to empty the Auto-Complete List. You can turn off AutoComplete from Options | Mail | Use Auto-Complete List to suggest names when typing in the To, Cc and Bcc lines. And a mistyped address which gets copied into future messages. There’s also a risk of sending to an ‘old’ or superseded address (we’ll explain later in this article). That will usually slim down the autocomplete list and make it less likely you’ll select the wrong one. Reduce the risk simply by typing more letters. Most misaddressed messages go to someone with the same or similar first name. You have to be careful to select the right name/email address from the list.
That work synced back to the OneNote app and the alt text changed to a version of the text. We opened the same notebook in ‘OneNote Online’ and the OCR automatically did it’s thing. The online service does have the option, also OneNote desktop.
The current OneNote for Windows 10 app does not support ‘copy text from picture’. When you first ‘print’ into OneNote, the alt text for each page/picture is blank. Presumably you’d be able to copy the original text (from a document or web page). In most situations, you would not need ‘text from picture’ from a printout. The OCR isn’t perfect but it’s usually enough to make the picture searchable. It uses OCR (optical character recognition) to convert an image into text. OneNote has a useful ‘Copy text from picture’ feature. One picture per page.Īll the usual OneNote app picture tools are available. The printout then appears in OneNote as a picture. OneNote for Win10 will appear (start, if necessary) and you can choose which notebook will save the printout. Select the ‘Send to OneNote’ printer and then print.
Printing to OneNoteįrom any program or app with a print option choose Print as usual. If you also have OneNote desktop on the same machine, there’ll also be a ‘Send to OneNote 2016’ printer as well. Once installed, you’ll find a new ‘printer’ on your list called ‘Send to OneNote’ It’s of limited use on a standard computer (desktop/laptop) but a welcome addition for Windows 10 tablets and phones. This has been a notably missing feature from the OneNote app. You’ll need the separate Send to OneNote app plus, of course, OneNote for Windows 10 app. Once the ‘printed’ pages are in OneNote, they’ll get a text version added in the background. Now you can ‘print’ to the OneNote for Windows 10 app. For a long time, it’s been possible to ‘print’ from any program and put the result directly into OneNote desktop program.
