Restoring the OneNote Guide

When you first open OneNote 2007 you are greeted with the OneNote Guide. I would encourage all of you to leave this open and take some time to read though it. There aren't that many pages and you will learn a great deal about OneNote 2007 and what features are available.

However if you to close it and you want to reopen it here are two ways to do this.

If you didn't delete the OneNote Guide notebook folder then you can do this:

  1. Open OneNote
  2. File-->Open-->Notebook
  3. Go to Documents\OneNote Notebooks
  4. Find the OneNote Guide folder and click on it
  5. Click Open
  6. Success!

If you deleted the OneNote Guide notebook folder then please do this:

  1. Open OneNote
  2. File-->Open-->Section
  3. Go to %programfiles%\Microsoft Office\OFFICE12\LCID\
    The LCID is the folder for your language & locale; for EN-US this is 1033
  4. Double click on ONGuide.onepkg
  5. Unpack the notebook by going through the wizard
  6. Success!

I just wanted to pass on this information for those of you who want to get back to the OneNote Guide even though you closed it or deleted it; just an easy way for your to restore the OneNote Guide. If you have questions let us know!
