Notes to level? Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
This is a newbe question, but I tried a search and couldn't come up with an answer.

I have imported a file from Mellel (which I exported as OPML) and it works fine.

What I would like to do now is promote the notes to a level in the outline. Is this possible?

TIA

Jim

If you are happy install a script on the OO toolbar, or in the Script Menu, you could experiment with this. It is intended to convert the notes of any selected rows to child rows.
This draft aims to preserve any attachments in the note, but always back up your file before trying anything like this, and experiment first with dummy data ...

property pNullString : ""

tell application id "com.omnigroup.OmniOutlinerPro3"
	set oSeln to selected rows of front document
	repeat with oRow in oSeln
		tell oRow
			set strNote to note
			if (length of strNote) > 0 then
				set topic of (make new row at before first child) to note
				set {note expanded, note, expanded} to {false, pNullString, true}
			end if
		end tell
	end repeat
end tell

This draft uses duplication to preserve any attachments in the note, but always back up your file before trying anything like this, and experiment first with dummy data ...
Thanks a bunch!! This looks like just what I am looking for. I'll be careful and experiment.

I went back and made some further edits to the code (above), so it might be worth checking that you have the later version (0.5)
 
This is great. Does anyone have a script which takes Row Text and converts it to a Note.

What are you looking for exactly? Do you want something that takes all the child rows of an item and turns them into the note text of the item? What if the children have notes or their own children?

I have imported in a foreign language text. As I translate and organize the thoughts, I'd like to move each row into a note so that I can use the same row for translation. So an AS that creates a note beneath the current row, copies the content of the row into the note and returns the currsor to the beginning of the row so I can now type the translation.
