Most appreciative!

Thank you!
Save this as a script in your scripts folder for OmniOutliner Pro. That would be

<your main user root)->Library->Scripts->OmniOutliner Pro

Save it as a compiled script.

This should then show up in your scripts menu in the menu bar. When you run Omnioutliner, select the cells that you want to move to the inbox on OF. (using either shift-click or command-click). Select the script you saved above from the scripts menu and it the cells you selected will show up in the quick entry box - fill in the contexts and projects as desired.

I've updated the previously posted script to include any notes attached to the selected rows in OmniOutliner:

Code:
tell front document of application "OmniOutliner Professional"
	-- set theDoc to front document
	--set columnCount to count of columns of theDoc
	
	set theList to the selected rows
	set theCount to (count of selected rows)
	if theCount < 1 then
		display dialog "You need to select at least one row to use this script." buttons "Cancel" default button "Cancel"
	end if
	
	-- go through each selected row in OmniOutliner and then create a corresponding
	-- action in the quick entry box of OF
	
	set actionText to ""
	repeat with i from 1 to theCount
		
		
		set actionText to (get topic of item i of selected rows)
		set actionNote to (get note of item i of selected rows)
		
		-- create a new action in Omnifocus QuickEntry window
		
		tell application "OmniFocus"
			-- create new action
			tell quick entry
				open
				set NewTask to make new inbox task with properties {name:actionText, note:actionNote}
			end tell
		end tell
	end repeat
end tell
