    Can't find OneNote files

    I've been using OneNote that comes with Office 2007 - then I moved my installation. I copied the whole drive to make sure I had all the data files but I can't find the file I created. Of course I can't remember what the content was!

    OneNote files appear to have the extension .one but I've moved all those to the proper place and my creation is not among them.

    Does anyone know anything about these files? I was using the Unfiled Notes section.

    Thanks - rev

    Food for thought - make a new dummy/test file and pay attention to where OneNotes default location and the file extension is
    If you're happy and you know it......it's your meds.

    Steve:

    I tried that and still couldn't find my notes. I concluded that the template is the named file, the notes you make inside it don't have a filename of their own.

    For example, Business.One might have a Travel tab, you make notes about flight arrangements and close the file. It's still called Business.One.

    Testing that theory, I searched 'All Notes' for known text but still didn't find any of my entries.

    My latest theory is that the text is called into the template from another file and that other file got lost when I changed drives. It doesn't sound likely but it provides me with an excuse.

    Funny how the stuff you lost suddenly becomes incredibly important.

    By default, all OneNote files will be in Documents>OneNote Notebooks.
