Welcome to my OneNote blog

 

I work on the OneNote team and help design product features. I have posted a couple of times as a guest on other blogs (OneNote and Outlook Task Syncing and Try OneNote Instant Search!)

Now I have accumulated enough ideas for posts that I decided it was time to start my own blog.

 

I will try to cover various OneNote how-tos, best practices, and troubleshooters that fall under the general category of "not-obvious-how-to-do-and-I-bet-some-people-are-wondering." So apologies in advance for the apparent lack of theme :).

I am an English teacher & I am using OneNote to share a notebook with my students.  I have the notebook stored on a SharePoint site and some of the students easily loaded the notebook and have no problems.  When other students open the notebook, it only opens a temporary notebook of the single tab they clicked on to open.  They cannot get the entire notebook and it says that they have a temporary page on their C: drive.  They cannot view any of the changes made to the shared notebook.  Do you any suggetions to make it work for everyone?  Thank you!

When your students click on a file in SharePoint, OneNote should ask them "Do you want to open the whole notebook or just the section?" They should pick the whole notebook option. Then the notebook will open permanently and they will see all of it and see all the changes.

If the above does not work, there are two more options to try:

1. On the SharePoint site, instead of clicking one of the tab files, click the file next to them that is called OneNoteTableOfContents.

2. Another way to open the whole notebook from SharePoint is to say File > Open > Notebook and then type in the address of the general SharePoint site (htpp://sitename). Once that appears in side the file open dialog, they should click further to eventually get to the folder where the notebook is. They need to selection the notebook folder and click "Open". Note that they are not opening a particular file, but the whole folder instead, which contains all the OneNote files.

Hope this helps.

I am a MSCDST and just started supporting MS 2007 OneNote, Outlook 12.0 build 6316 on a MS Exchange Server 5.1

When I create a Task in OneNote 2007 it appears to Sync but does not Sync with  MS 2007 Outlook Task or the To Do Bar, it pops in Outlook Task for about 5 sec then disappears in never,never land.. any Suggestions?
