1. Is there a viewer for OneNote files?- Not a viewer, per se, but you can certainly download and install the
OneNote 2007 Trial edition. The trial is fully functional for 60 days
after which it will go into read-only mode unless you buy the full version.
That means that you can use it to view and edit OneNote files for 60 days,
after that it will still be fully functional as a viewer only.

- 2. I want to move my notebook to a different location, how can I do
that?
- In OneNote 2007 click File | Notebook Properties. There's a button
for change location right there.
- 3. I used Windows Explorer to move my notebooks to another location but
what about the OneNote Table of Contents?
- Ignore it. OneNote will regenerate it automatically the next time
OneNote syncs to that notebook. (Thanks Ilya!)
-
- 4. I just upgraded to OneNote 2007, how do I transfer my OneNote 2003
files to it?
- It should ask to do it automatically when you first open OneNote 2007
but if it doesn't then go to File | Open | Notebook and open each of the
notebooks you want to convert. Note that once they're converted you
CAN'T go back to OneNote 2003 format.
-
- 5. Can I password protect sections of OneNote? Individual pages?
- Sections, yes. Pages no. To password protect
a section just right-click the section on the navigation pane or on the tab
at the top and select "Password protect this section" from the context menu.
-
- 6. When I copy/paste content from IE7, from any tab other than the first
tab, into OneNote the link created is wrong. It's a link to the page
shown in the first IE7 tab. What can I do?
- That's a known issue which will probably require a fix from the IE7
team. Stand by.
- 7. Does OneNote 2007 have a Find/Replace feature? Like Microsoft
Word does?
- No, but it is a frequently requested feature for the next version.
There is a powertoy that can do it and you can find it here:

- 8. I installed the trial version and [Feature] is greyed out!
- Did you activate the product? (check the Help menu)
- 9. How do I copy an entire section? In order to make a new section
that starts just like it; a template you might say.
- Close OneNote. Go to Windows Explorer and find your OneNote
notebooks. Copy the .ONE file you want to make a copy of in the
folder and give it a new name. Open OneNote and see if it's there.
- 10. How do I "flip thru" the pages in my section?
- Press CTRL+Page Down. If you do it a lot and have a mouse with
programmable keys you might consider programming one of your mouse buttons
to do that.
- 11. I don't see the Tray icon for OneNote and my Windows Key+S doesn't
work!
- Tools | Options | Other...check the box next to "Place OneNote icon in
the notification area of the taskbar.
- 12. Can I sort the pages in OneNote?
- Not natively, but there's a powertoy that will do it.

Printing
1. How come I can't find the Print to OneNote tool in my Vista 64
machine? It works fine in my Vista 32!
A: There are technical challenges relating to the way that OneNote handles
the printing that make it very difficult to port the Print to OneNote feature
from the 32-bit to 64-bit OS. David Rasumussen has
a good technical explanation of it on his blog.
2. I want to print to OneNote but can't find the driver. I'm running
32-bit - how can I reinstall?
A: Have you downloaded and installed SP1 yet? If not,
click here and get it.
3. How can I print the entire section/notebook at once?
A: Publish the entire section/notebook to a PDF and print the PDF.
