Preventing loss of notes when opening updated OneNote file partnerizer 10/31/2008 10:10:01 PM I have a OneNote notebook (PKG format) that I update and distribute to many different companies on a regular basis. Some of these companies add their own notes to this OneNote notebook. Whenever I send them an updated version of this OneNote notebook, they lose their notes/changes when they open the updated file I send them. Is there a way these companies can open the updated OneNote file and easily incorporate their changes/notes from the old version into this updated OneNote notebook? I was hoping the Sync feature or another feature might work to preserve these changes/notes. THX!

Re: Preventing loss of notes when opening updated OneNote file partnerizer 11/3/2008 7:15:01 PM No, unfortunately this isn't possible because the companies using this notebook are not related. Also, each of the companies would have their own distinct notes and don't want to combine their notes with another companies. I just need the ability to distribute an updated notebook to these companies and not have their notes lost when they open the updated version of the notebook. "Ben M.

Re: Preventing loss of notes when opening updated OneNote file Steve Silverwood <kb6ojs[ at ]arrl.net> 11/25/2008 12:00:42 AM Try giving the new notebooks a different name, such as incorporating the date and time into the name. That way it's brought in as a new notebook rather than overwriting the old one.

Re: Preventing loss of notes when opening updated OneNote file "Wickiup" <BeepBeep[ at ]Roadrunner.com> 11/26/2008 1:25:55 AM I'm a real newby at all of this OneNote stuff but I found that moving all Unfiled Notes to a designated Section prior to closing OneNote does the trick. -*- Jim Curts "partnerizer" <partnerizer[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:B21E9BBF-1C0E-4906-9BC7-4A531DC9881A[ at ]microsoft.com...
