Backing up One Note 2003 to a CD-RW

[Stephan Garcia]

I am using the 'RESEARSH' tab, only of my ON 2003. I am concerned my
data/info might get lost in a hard disk crash. Normally I back up my files to
a CD-RW just in case. When I do this with my 'RESEARCH' file of ON, I find
that the other computers in the house(an old Toshiba satellite(i have a newer
version) and a brand new dell) cannot read the CD-RW because ON is not
installed as software.

HOW DO I BACK UP A SCREEN SHOT OF A SECURE ADOBE PDF, THAT HAS HIGHLIGHTS
AND OTHER COMMENTARY IN THE MARGINS FROM ME, TO A CD-RW WHICH CAN BE READ BY
OTHER COMPUTERS?

Do you a PDF printer installed?
Printing to a PDF would be the easiest way.

When you make a screenshot you may copy that to the clipboard and then
import and safe it as an image-file (JPG, f.e.)

This can easily be done with Irfanview, a fantastic freeware tool for
ever this and that with images

Rainald, i wrote a response to your suggestions a little further up in the
discussion under 7/17/07.

'this entry is a response'

thanks Rainald,
irfanview is very applicable toward the future of what I'm working to
accomplish.
however I cannot seem to locate the ON files on my computer to transfer them
to irfanview, secondly it seems you are suggesting that as i make screenshots
of an online secure(not editable or able to be duplicated into MS word)PDF
file and place them into my ON folder(along with my notes created using the
'pen' feature on ON,
I will also have to place that screen shot into 'irfanview' for instance and
save on the CD-RW as an image.

If that is the case, how does that solve the problem of my already placed
screenshots and notes contained in the 'RESEARCH' tab of ON 2003 and spread
throughout with numerous subpages and sub sub pages cotaining other
screenshots and notes?!

My quest is simply to duplicate the material contained in a single tab of MS
ON 2003 'RESEARCH'(and the various subpages I've created under it) and place
it on a CD-RW readable by other computers regardless of wether other
computers have ONENOTE installed or not. If I can't do that then ON is not as
user friendly as I thought and I'll have to loose even more productivity
deALING WITH THIS ISSUE.

Would be nice would it be that.
I'm still having most serious troubles in understanding
a) what you want to achieve,
b) the scenario under which this question might be relevant.

I'll go through this thread tomorrow and try to find out if there might
be a problem description and/or a question hidden which might really
make sense to me.

Sadly Yours

I found an interesting ebook on the internet concerning product sourcing . It
is a Adobe PDF and the authors secured it so that it could not be altered or
misrepresented.---I have taken screen shots of relevant areas and placed the
screen shots into pages and subpages underneath the 'RESEARCH' tab of my
Microsoft Office Onenote 2003.----Onenote has an option allowing a user to
make highlights and hand written notes using its 'pen' feature up in the
toolbar.---So I have the screen shots which contain my highlights and written
notations cotained in the 'RESEARCH' tab.----WHEN I BACK THE INFO UP (MOVE IT
TO A CD-RW) SO I WON'T LOSE IT, THE CD-RW IS UNREADABLE IN COMPUTERS THAT DO
NOT HAVE MS ON INSTALLED ON THEM.---THE COMPUTERS WILL SAY THEY CANNOT OPEN
THE FILE BECAUSE THE FORMAT IS 'UNSUPPORTED.'

Thanks for clarifying what this is about, Stephan.
I really had misunderstood your initial question.

I found an interesting ebook on the internet concerning product
sourcing . It is a Adobe PDF and the authors secured it so that it
could not be altered or misrepresented.---I have taken screen shots
of relevant areas and placed the screen shots into pages and subpages
underneath the 'RESEARCH' tab of my Microsoft Office Onenote
2003.

An alternative to making screenshots would be to *print* the PDFs into
OneNote (with the "SendToOnenote" add-on).

--So I
have the screen shots which contain my highlights and written
notations cotained in the 'RESEARCH' tab.----WHEN I BACK THE INFO UP
(MOVE IT TO A CD-RW) SO I WON'T LOSE IT, THE CD-RW IS UNREADABLE IN

Right!
What to do:
1.) If you had ON2007, you might use the "PDF/XPS Export" add-on and by
this produce PDFs.

It's my urgent recommendation to upgrade to ON2007.
It's tremendously improved over ON2003 and IMO he who still works with
the old version (a true "first shot") punishes himself day by day.
There's a free 90-days demo version download on the MS website.
Go there and collect it.

2.) As said before: If you have Adobe Acrobat you may just print the
relevant pages/sections into a PDF.

3.) You can save the pages/section in the MHT format.
The resulting files can then be opened with a browser on any machine.
If I remember correctly (only used ON2003 for a very short period of
time): you could also save the pages in the DOC format so that you
could open them in Word.
