I am intensely curious to see if Office Live will work on the iPad, as the current version (as well as Google Docs, Zoho, and Docs.com) do not work due to Rich Text Format (I think).

If I can get OneNote to work on my iPad and store the files on Office Live or Skydrive and then access them from home, it would be the greatest thing ever.

SO… will OneNote work in Mobile Safari on the iPad?

thanks

In 2007, I had Open as Notebook in Onenote – that is no longer available with the 2010 install. I have read the articles and tried to click Open and it only opens folder. My Notebooks are all 2007 at this stage. I have converted one to 2010; Inside the folder now is a onetoc2 file called Open Notebook.

Would love to just open notebook like I used to in 2007; please help

1. I used all the power toys available in 2007, but when I installed 2010 Beta, the power toys on my system are still part of the 2007 installation. I use the web page “Send It To OneNote A LOT, and all the others. How do I get all of these power toys to apply to 2010 Beta. I intend to convert all my notebooks to 2010 and upgrade to the stand alone when it becomes available.

2. THE ONLY THING I HATE ABOUT ONENOTE: I use tables ALL THE TIME and I can’t believe you didn’t include the ability to “split” and “merge” rows and columns in either 2007 or 2010. I use tables instead of lists to organize myself so I tend to need header rows, etc. CAN YOU ASK MR/MS INCHARGE (who ever that is) to PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE inclue these two table functions in the final version. As it stands I have to create my tables in word then print them into OneNote (which is really a cool feature in and of itself)

3. What’s with this CANVAS feature. I don’t get when it applies. Is it just an option you can choose as a property when setting up a notebook, is it a “view” available like print preview, I didn’t understand the explanation when it arrived for 2007 and I don’t want to HAVE to have my notebooks in this format all the time, though it would be nice as a view you could shift to and work in at will.

Sorry to be so long winded but I use OneNote multiple, multiple times a day and think it’s the best thing since sliced bread. Thx, Kathleen

Thanks,
David

I suffer from brain damage to my frontal cortex and have used OneNote just enough to see that it could really help mitigate the effects of the damage. Specifically planning, decision making and control in day to day life are my problems. Do you have a more detailed example notebook you would be willing to share that would demonstrate how you’ve used ON2010? It specifically doesn’t need to be polished up for prime time – I’d almost rather see something raw and practical. It would be a big help.

Thank you very much for sending me the suggested workaround, I have good news and bad news.

The bad news, unfortunately I couldn’t get the registry method to work for me.

But, the good news, I have managed to open all my workbooks from OneNote 2007.

It seems that if you just open a section inside of a workbook, OneNote 2010 will then open the whole workbook.

The steps to do this:

File > Open > Open Notebook

Delete “Open Notebook” from the ‘File name’ field.

From the ‘Files of type’ drop down field select “OneNote Sections (*.one)”.

Navigate to a a section file (“example.one”) inside the workbook you wish to open.

Double click the section file.

The whole workbook should then open.

A bit of additional information: I have installed the beta while keeping Office 2007 Ultimate installed, I wonder if this may be the reason I am unable to open workbooks in the normal way.

Michael, thank you as well. How did you move from OneNote 2007 to the OneNote 2010 Beta? Did you upgrade over it, install separately and opened old handwritten notes? Please provide as much details as you can. Thank you!

I met the exact problem as described by Andrew when I tried to open notebook folder created in OneNote 2007. Could you send the solution to me, too? By the way, I am comfortable with Windows Registry and use 32-bit Windows 7 Professional.

Thanks!

I’ve noticed this more after converting from 2007 to 2010 file format; I may convert back to the old file format to see if that makes things better, but I’m scared of further garbling of my existing notes… Definitely don’t want to switch back to OneNote 2007 itself (though I never had this problem in close to 2 yrs of heavy use of that application) – I love the ribbon too much :-)

Thanks.

I thought it was a no brainier and have been waiting for something like this since 2003. Like a regular OCR program when converting text will show you the original image near a pane with the OCRd version. Only instead of just during conversion make an option to keep the info permanently as both converted and original.

Also moving around handwritten text really doesn’t work that well. If one try’s to insert notes it invariably makes a jumble of the notes below.

Ribbon is very useful organizational tool in onenote.

Also, why remove the Outlook integretions? I like some of the new features in 2010, but not enough to give up features in 2007 that I need and use. I think you might sell more product if you keep functions that business users are likely to want and need. OneNote is the greatest software Microsoft ever made. If you can keep it tightly paired with that ‘other’ incredibly popular application, you can conquer the world:)

However, the new tagging functionality is , well, exactly the same as the old tagging functionality. I don’t think there’s been a single change has there? A shame because tagging notes really needs a rethink the way its currently set up imo – like what on earth are all these little symbols meant to stand for? Yellow square versus green square?
