XLnotes is an add-in for Microsoft Excel, which allows to make comments for the cells, which contain Word documents, web pages and attachments.
Overview[edit]
With XLnotes users can save notes containing documents, pictures, web pages and attachmets in their Excel workbooks. This allows to use Excel as a two-pane outliner, but unlike a tree-structure for notes, common for outliners, Excel has a free form grid. This allows to arrange notes in arbitrary structure or add notes to existing data. Notes are shown in a separate pane inside Excel, text notes use embedded Microsoft Word and web pages can be seen and saved using embedded Internet Explorer.
Features[edit]
XLnotes expands Excel by adding following features[1]:
- Integration - XLnotes add-in runs inside Microsoft Excel and offers additional functionality by expanding its commenting function.
- Note types - XLnotes can create notes of 3 types: text notes, which contain Microsoft Word documents, web pages and attachments.
- Note creation - Notes are shown with regular comments indicators (red triangle at the upper right corner of the cell) and appear when the corresponding cell is active.
- Search - Searches for a given phrase in text notes.
- Import and Export - Text notes can be imported or exported to cells or comments. Multiple text notes can be batch exported to Word, forming a single document.
File formats[edit]
All notes are stored locally in their workbook. Workbook and notes are device and system independent and can be transferred and shared.
- Import- Notes can be imported from cells contents and comments.
- Export- Notes can be exported to Word documents and cell comments.
