Importing Files From Other Applications
 
Importing refers to the conversion of files created by other applications into NoteBook outlines and text.  If you want to simply add a document to a Notebook, keeping it as a separate file that lives within a Notebook, just drag-and-drop the file onto a Notebook page.
 
 
Importing Files

Choose File → Import to import documents created by other applications into a Notebook page.  NoteBook imports the following file formats:

• .txt —  plain text
 
• .rtf/.rtfd —  rich text
 
• .doc —  Microsoft word processing format;  NoteBook uses the .doc file reader built into OS X
 
• .opml —  “Outline Processor Markup Language,” a popular XML-based file format supported by many outlining applications
 
When importing, NoteBook recreates any outline structure it detects within the document: NoteBook converts each line of text ending in a Return character into a single cell. NoteBook also counts the number of tab characters at the start of each line and indents the cell that many times.
 
 
Importing NoteTaker Notebooks

If you have documents created by the old NoteTaker application, you can import them into NoteBook.  
 
In NoteTaker, choose File → Export NTML... → Export Notebook.  In the panel that appears, turn off the option to generate separate page files , and choose “NTML” from the XSLT Transform popup .  Clicking Save places the NTML output in the folder you specify in the Save As text field.
In NoteBook, choose File → Open... and select the .xml file in the NTML output folder .
NoteBook places the result in a new untitled Notebook.
