can I save Vista OnNote to an XP compatible file?

[James]

I have a Vista OneNote and want to put it on a USB stick and take it to a
friend and run it on XP

can I?

 

[John Guin]

No, OneNote cannot be installed to a USB memory stick. The closest you could
come would be using Virtual PC to create an virtual Windows install, install
office in the virtual machine, and then save that image to the USB device.

On the other hand, if you want to take data from OneNote and carry that
around, you can export to PDF or HTML and save those docs on the memory stick.

Last thing: if your friend has OneNote, you can create a notebook on the
memory stick and carry it around with you. It will work on any machine with
OneNote installed. I do this myself with three notebooks and they all work
fine. Just make sure you both have the same versions of OneNote.

Hey thanks, I meant to say the data file not the pgm. I downloaded the trail
version of OneNote on to my Xp laptop today and saved the data file I created
in Vista on to the USB drive and expect to be able to take it to the laptop
an view it.
