Abstract: Electronic note taking is enhanced by automatically modifying an electronic document corresponding to a user's meeting notes to include at least some data from an electronic calendar or scheduling system in which the user's meeting is scheduled. For example, when an electronic note is created for a specific meeting, information about the meeting from the user's electronic calendar or scheduling system can automatically be included in the new electronic note. This information may be provided in the note in a form that allows it to be electronically searched and shared with others.

Abstract: Pen-based computing systems enable users to create, save, edit, modify, and manipulate electronic ink in various ways. To make such systems more useful, the electronic ink may be “repurposed” for use in other application programs. For example, pen-based computing systems may be programmed to: receive electronic ink data in a first application program and introduce a data set relating to at least a portion of the electronic ink data into a second, different application program. The data set introduced into the second application program may include electronic ink data or machine-generated text based on the electronic ink data. Users may freely select the electronic ink data to be transferred to the second application program and the application program to which the ink data will be transferred. The first application program, which serves as the source for the ink data to be transferred, may in some examples receive strokes as user input and generate electronic ink data from this user input (e.g.
