Create a New OneNote File?

[Softline Studios]

I'd like to have a few OneNote files each dedictated to a specific project.
That way, when the project is done, I can save the contents and archive it
rather than dragging it through life. Unless I'm missing something, once
installed, OneNote is one, big filing systems and doesn't lend itself to be
split up.

Any suggestions here?

Use folders within the big notebook. After you are done, use Windows
Explorer to move a folder somewhere else. Or you can give OneNote 2007 a
shot which supports multiple notebooks that support what you are looking
for.

Is 2007 stable enough that most users are free of system hassles?

Yes, pretty much. There are still some occasional crashes (one e.g.
involving notebooks on USB sticks), and some quirks, but it is rather
stable.
Back up your notebook before you install OneNote 2007 B2 (which you then
need to patch to B2TR right away) and give it a try. Most serious issues
I have seen (besides the USB stick one) are specific to a user's
system/configuration, so if it works fine for you for a few days of
regular use, you should be ok.

Back up your notebook before you install OneNote 2007 B2 (which you then
need to patch to B2TR right away) and give it a try.

The OP should search back for "B2TR" for discussions on limitations and
being locked in to not installing any further Office 2007 betas before
jumping in feet first.

Thanks for the reminder. Reading the B2TR and OneNote page linked in my
signature should get the OP up to speed on that.
