Tried various repair strategies, downloaded several utilities, tried synching in various ways. The Tier 2 tech spent more than an hour on my computer. Eventually ended up with a local, intact, functional OneNote 2010 notebook that contained all my data but, of course, it will no longer sync with any of my other digital devices. One would not move and crashed the program every time I tried, so had to find a workaround for that. So I had to create a new notebook and copy each section manually. Frustratingly, they were read-only and I could not change that status. While waiting, I was able to download the ON notebook files I needed from OneDrive. Took another week for us to connect as they want to call you when it is convenient for them. She spent 45 min on my computer via remote assistance and got nowhere. Nothing worked.Ĭontact online ON support - rapidly hit a wall. Tried several strategies to fix, including uninstalling Office 2010 and reinstalling. Like some that have posted here, the data was still intact on OneDrive but the free ON interface online is appalling - no hoisting of the subpages, flat monochrome UI with no gradient to distinguish topic heading from subheadings, poor navigation structure, etc. Two weeks ago my OneNote (ON) 2010 would no longer synch with OneDrive. Be aware that there will probably be multiple dated copies of each section, so just open up the latest one. You can open each one and it will come up in "Misplaced Sections", then you can move those into another local notebook. One workaround, there are backups of your OneNote 2010 sections in this path: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneNote\14.0\Backup\ It's a far greater context switch challenge than just tabbing over to OneNote. There is no way to copy sections between notebooks, and my notebooks are now in the same interface as dozens of other pages that I have to try not to get distracted by. The notebook won't open on OneNote 2016 either, and the OneNote online version is a poor alternative. But I will look for every other alternative first.Īs much as I love OneNote, I will abandon it due to Microsoft's user-hostile practices.
The only thing that might force me to do so is Microsoft holding my data hostage. There are no features in newer versions that compel me to use them, although I do on other machines. I prefer Office 2010 just because it's the last version of Office that still looks nice, with colors and gradients etc, not like the ugly user-hostile monochromatic ui of later versions. The shared copies on my Office 365 and other accounts are still working, but nothing would work to open this notebook locally. Last week I could no longer open it with OneNote 2010. I have a very large notebook that was started on my personal Live account several years ago.
