OneNote 2007 and Office 2003

[Leevy]

Hi all,

It's possible to install OneNote 2007 in a Office 2003 Environment?

We went to upgrade to Office 2007 next year but I want to take
advantage of the new features in OneNote 2007 (Tables etc.).

Many thanks in advance.

Best regards

Leevy

Hi, this may help you

and

Can I open OneNote 2003 files in Office OneNote 2007?

Yes. You will still be able to use your OneNote 2003 notes after you upgrade
to Office OneNote 2007. However, because the OneNote file format has changed,
all OneNote 2003 files will be read-only in Office OneNote 2007, until you
upgrade the files. When you first start Office OneNote 2007, an InfoBar will
appear that will give you the option of upgrading your notes. An
easy-to-follow dialog box will walk you through the simple upgrade process.

Note Office OneNote 2007 does not support backward compatibility with
OneNote 2003. This means that after you upgrade your OneNote 2003 notes to
the Office OneNote 2007 format, you will no longer be able to open these
notes in OneNote 2003.

No problem. ON 2007 does not need the other Office apps to be of v. 12
too.
Caveat: the interaction with Outlook does not work if the latter is
below 2007.

So you could buy ON 2007 as soon as it's on the market; a trial will
be available for downlaod from 1st of December.
And I would urgently recommend to so do as the new ON version is a
huge step forward.
