PROBLEM
OneNote won't start on my Win7 PC (installed, desktop version).

Additional Info:
Won't start as Administrator.
Won't start when Antivirus is disabled.

As far as I can recall, I didn't do anything to disrupt this program.
The program runs fine on my mobile devices and in the browser(s) of my PC (Firefox and gChrome).

Dear experts,

In my onenote16 I can see the option to draw shapes under menu Draw and Option shapes.
But there are so limited number of shapes, is there a way I can increase these in this option?

I am trying to draw circles for set theory and shade them. Once done, I want to group them so that I use it as picture. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thank you

We have an issue on a large Citrix Environment with One Note 2010 backup files and also the Cache file location.
When a user is logging on and opening One Note (users have many  notes open on taskbar). The backup is ran once per day as per default and then fills the Citrix Vdisk cache up causing issues. To get around the backup issues we can setup a GPO and disable backup and also redirect the folder to the user home file store.

The main issue we have is around the One Note Cache how do we successfully tackle that. When a user opens One Note with all the Notes a cache database is created in local / appdata  with cache data, in some cases this can grow to a very large size on a Citrix worker server and will also fundamental cause Vdisk cache issues.
The only solution I have see is to use Symbolic link to redirect the folder / files to a drive location other than the drive of the worker server.

There is also an option set to optimize files, which can cause an issues where it optimizes the databases as per default, can this also be disabled ?

Has anyone else worked around this issue in a VDI / Terminal Server / Citrix environment ?

I am having an issue sharing OneNote documents to external contacts. We are all using Office 365 Business.

I just found that if I share the document from OneNote to specific people (to my gmail account for example), I am required to enter a login and a password which is not the expected behavior.

But if I navigate the SharePoint Site Assets, find the OneNote document and share it (still to specific people), it correctly shares the file and I am able to click the "send code" button.

So my issue is really why the OneNote does not allow the share to behave correctly?

My users are not tech-savvy so asking them to drill down the site assets to find the file is not an option.

Thanks.

We are using Office 365 Sharepoint for storing One Note files. The users access these files via a mapped drive on their PCs. The users work on the notebooks with the desktop One Note application. The mapped drive is just pointing to the online Sharepoint site where the files are stored. This setup works but the issue is that when a user wants to create a new notebook or file...the mapped drive frequently displays an error saying it cannot be accessed. This is because the user needs to re-authenticate with Office 365. That means they have to:

1. Open Internet Explorer (no other browser, not even Edge, works)
2. Log into Office 365
3. Open Sharepoint
4. Navigate to the Site and go to Documents
5. Select to 'Open in Windows Explorer'
6. Now they can access the mapped drive.
7. In the OneNote desktop app, they can now browse to the drive to add/create new OneNote files.

Clearly, it's too many steps to reasonably expect users to do every time they want to create new OneNote files.
Microsoft has built the 'One Drive for Business' app for syncing files but unfortunately OneNote files are a special case where this app doesn't work. All the app does is create a URL shortcut to the location of the file online. There is no way the user can use this sync function to create new OneNote files.

What is the best way to set up this sync so users can avoid the hassle of doing steps 1-7 every time they want to create a new One Note? Maybe Microsoft hasn't built a way...are there…

How do I migrate Microsft OneNote notebooks to a new Office365 user account?

I'm currently using OneNote 2016 on my computer and the App on my iPad

I am piloting One Note for our School Improvement Plans for our school district.  I need to be able to merge cells to use one note for this purpose.  How can this be done, or when will it be available?  I love one note and would love to have it as our primary recommendation for district wide use.

Hi,

We have in our computer Microsoft OneNote 2016.  We wanted to know when a user places a password in a section, is the entire section encrypted with the password, or the password is just for opening the section (in other words, another person can see the contents if he/she knew where the files were saved)? - same question on the OneNote data sync in OneDrive.com

We have OneNote 2016 and we attach a lot of files to notes (where the  file is saved in the OneNote page, not as link).  The inconvenient is that when inserting these files, it always displays as a large icon.  Below is a pix os a sample OneNote page.  Notice the 2 files as large icons, we want them to be display as like a hyperlink (the circled in red).  Is there a way of doing this?


Please note, that we want the files embedded within  the OneNote not an external link (we want it to be  displayed as an external link).

Dear All


               Can window 7 Pro install onenotes version 17 from 16 ?

Hi,

Is it possible to share an online Onenote as a webpage (readonly)?
That way I could just edit the OneNote book locally and the webpage would change.

I'm really looking for that kind of solution for my webpage: plain and simple to maintain.

What is the process for importing content from the free version of Evernote into One Note 2016?
