OneNotes 2007 Reader Program

[David]

Is there a reader program for OneNotes 2007. I have putting attachment files
in my notes and when I email it the user on the other end cannot open the
attachments. I have also tried exporting to work but, the attached files
export as images rather then the actual file that is embeded in the onenote
file. Please help

While there isn't a "reader" per se, there is another option. Have them
download the trial from the MS site. They have full access to the tool while
the trial runs, and once it expires they can use it like a reader.

not a practical solution.

..one should be read by word I think.
this will expand its usage.
Altough one can save the file as a pdf, this may not be of an issue but
still:
if ms wants word to be the main text processor, then make .one readble in
word!

Another thing you might look into:
During my tour of user groups, one of the attendees got "curious" about the
files. They attempted to open a .one section on a Linux box. They claim (I
have not yet had time to verify it) that they were able to open the file
with an XML reader.

As for being able to be read by Word, I disagree. Do you expect Word to open
PPT and Excel files as well? I don't. I expect to be able to open a file
with the program that created it. Different programs do different things.
For me, that means doing the work in the tool that is best suited for the
job.

One other note: Why is it not a practical solution to use the trial as a
reader? It is no different than asking those who don't have PPT to download
the viewer to see the PPT files they receive. In fact, it is better - with
the trial, they can not only see the notes you send them, they can also work
with them. It is not a reduced functionality program. The PPT viewer (for
example) has many restrictions on what it will and won't play.

Just my two cents....

I dont expect word to open xls or ppt because many people already have these
programs on their computer.
They are widely used.
..one is not widely used and maybe it will not be so.
Therefore this thread comes up. Apperantly there is a need for a reader.

It is not practical because you can not ask and convince people to install
ON tiral.
I have a supervisor in academy, who is very busy and he definitely has no
time to install and tackle with ON.

But all in all, we have the option of saving the .one file as pdf file.
Therefore we actually do not need a reader I think because acrobat, in this
case, is the reader
which many people have.

So, from my side, I dont have any problems.
