New in this version: Add Color Picker to Your Macros
With a new update, you can now use Color Picker in your Macro dialogs using DialogBox_AddColorPicker function. In the past when a macro needed user input for a color, the only option was to use a text box and ask for a hex color code which is much harder for users who just want to pick a color from a set of common colors.
Color Picker control looks like this in a dialog box:
When user clicks on the dropdown, the standard Windows Color Picker is displayed to allow user to pick a color:
Along with the color picker, a new base type Color is added. Certain properties of objects, like fontColor or highlightColor used to be String types. They are now using the new Color type. Color type has a few advantages over the String type. If a font color of a text is red, previously doing $text.fontColor == "red" wouldn't work, you would have to use the hex format (#ff0000). Color type is smart enough to compare color names and values, therefore such comparison or assignment will now work. There is also a new Color function to create variables of type color.
Macros that used to offer a dropdown with a set of predefined colors will be updated in the coming days to use the color picker.
Update information for Macros
Another feature added in the new update is the ability to see what updates are available for an installed macro. If you are looking at the details of an installed macro in Download Macros window, you will now see which updates are available and which version you currently have installed:This way you can see what the new update offers and decide whether you want to update to the new version of a macro or not.
Thanks.
Thanks! :)
It would be great to speak to you at some stage. ON 2016 is by far the most powerful programme in the MS Office suite. I am just so concerned about the App and loss of core functionality let alone the Onetastic toolkit.
What is Macrolands future?
Many thanks

What can I do?

1) I use TOC in Current Page, Version 5/28/2018 for 32-bit Windows. It (or an older version) used to replace the current TOC with an updated one. Now it just places the TOC on top of whatever's already there. It's manageable but a nuisance to have to deal with it everytime I want to update the TOC.
2) The links generated in the TOC work well within my OneNote desktop version, but do not work with the on-line version (360?) of OneNote. I have other links that I created and they work with both versions.
Am I doing something wrong?
I have pages with 30-60 photos and dragging out to a folder one at a time is tedious and frustrating.
Is there a way or does a macro have the ability to copy text within a cell from children pages directly into a parent page within the same section of Notebook? I can email an example of what I am talking about if I need to. Thanks in advance!

When installing from OnetasticInstaller.x64.exe, I'm first told it thinks I have a 32-bit machine. It's not, so I select the 'use 64-bit install anyway' menu choice.
I have Microsoft 365.
It is not on the Ribbon Bar in the "Separate Tab".
It i not under any other "Tabs"
And it is not under the "Onetastic Group" that is left on my "Ribbon" when "Home Tab" is selected.
According to your help file page sent kindly to me, it should be on the "Ribbon" when the "Home Tab" is selected.
Can you help me figure that out?
Thank you
I tried out the new view that puts all your macros into its own toolbar. Now I cannot figure out how to get back to the default view and more importantly, I cannot seem to find my way to the the "Download Window" to manage things. . I downloaded a lot to try and I am finding I need to trim them a bit, and maybe look for alternatives for some I do trim.
I appreciate any help anyone can throw my way--Thanks

Thanks much,

1. white space removed,
2. all objects on a page put in one window.
Result: Now the page is ready to create a TOC to organize the accumulated objects.
1. Does this product exist?
2. Where are product ideas submitted?
3. Is there a list of requested products we could sign up for notification once they are developed?
