OneNote 2010 - Add button to Ribbon or Quick Access Toolbar
I'm using Office 2003 and OneNote 2010.
I used AutoHotKey to create a script I want to use in OneNote 2010. The keyboard Shortcut Ctrl+Alt+C runs my script and all works well.
Now, I'd like to create a button on my Ribbon or put it on the Quick Access Toolbar, but I don't know how to begin. I just started using OneNote 2010 so even ribbons are new to me.
I need the step by step instructions.
Thank you so much in advance!

My question is for OneNote 2010, not Outlook. Your response keeps referencing Outlook. Does it matter?
OneNote doesn't include VBA, but there are some workarounds if you want to build an add-in:

Hello,
I'm afraid you won't be able to create a button for an AutoHotKey macro on the ribbon. OneNote 2010 does not support macros and there is no functionality in its commands to run an external script.
If the keyboard shortcut works, I guess this will be your best option. Remember, the keyboard shortcut runs a macro from AutoHotKey, not from OneNote. It just plays back recorded mouse movements and keystrokes, but it does not automate OneNote.
