bulk conversion of onenoe 2003 files to 2007 format

[Jamie Holloway]

After the installation of Onenote 2007 has completed, how do I convert a
directory full of Onenote 2003 files to 2007 format in bulk?

Open the folder as a notebook in 2007, and 2007 will it do for you.

Thanks Patrick, but not certain how to do that, and maybe I asked the
question incorrectly. I have a hierarchy of folders, and the subfolders
contain notebooks. I want to open the root, and mass-convert all 2003
onenote files contained in the folder hierarchy in bulk. I do see how to
open all sections in a 2003 notbook...

Thanks.

The same idea applies. If you open the top-level folder as a new Notebok,
the subfolders will be converted to Section Groups.

At this point, you can leave the old files in 2003 format until you need to
use them, or open one Section up. OneNote should prompt you (via the
Information Bar) to either convert this one Section or all sections in the
notebook.

Thanks Erik. I was attempting to avoid going through all m old notes and
asking OneNote to convert all sections. I have alot of old notebooks that I
wanted to do in bulk, and to convert all in one action. I appreciate the
help.
