Will I loose my notes from OneNote 2007B2 to OneNote 2007 retail? mk_1618 08.07.2006 15:04:01 I use OneNote 2003 and would love to work with the new 2007 beta 2. My concern is that I will use 2007 B2 and when the retail version comes out, my notes won't covert or be accessible. Is this something I should be concerned about or not?

Your notes will convert without a problem to OneNote 2007 retail. Microsoft will release at least one more beta version of OneNote 2007 before its release. It might be the case though that you need to upgrade your notes to that one and then to the retail version. No one knows yet though. Microsoft is 100% committed to make sure there is a path to upgrade your notes from B2 to retail, you will just have to make sure to follow their instructions. This has worked perfectly for me from Beta 1 to Beta 1 Technical Refresh and from that one to Beta 2. Keep in mind though, that OneNote 2007 is beta so you'll have to deal with minor and major annoyances, crashes, potentially data loss (prob. in conjunction with a crash), etc. Also, once you upgraded your notes to 2007, there is no way back to 2003. Hence if you are not committed to purchasing the retail version, you'll be stuck once the OneNote beta expires on February 1.

Re: Will I loose my notes from OneNote 2007B2 to OneNote 2007 reta Rod Smith 08.09.2006 12:13:02 I too was wondering this. I find it interesting that I might need to upgrade to yet another beta version before I can finally upgrade to the retail version, especially since MS are now CHARGING to download office betas. Does this mean I'll have to pay money for another beta (albeit a few dollars - its more a of nuisance than anything) to ensure that I can continue to access my OWN notes once I purchase the retail verson of onenote? I would hope this is not the case and that any beta downloads that are required to maintain compatibility (with the retail version) are free of charge. On a slightly related note, when is the technical refresh due for release? Anyone know? It's been 'coming soon' for too long to have originally called it 'coming soon'. Rod.
