I am using SharePoint and OneNote. I open the same OneNote file on several computers and others also use the same OneNote file.
I customized the tags on one machine for the OneNote file, but the customizations don't transfer with the file (I have to customize the tags on every machine). Is there a way to have the custom tags be associated with the OneNote file?
For example, I want Ctl-1 to set the "Priority 1" tag no matter where I open the file, and I want that to work for others, also.
Unfortunately there is no way to associate the tags with a file, but you can copy your customizations across machines.
The preferences.dat file contains these customizations.
You can find this file at:
C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\OneNote\[version]
Just copy it to the same location on your other machines.
(This information is based off of this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/920254. However, the folder locations referenced in this article are slightly different since it was written for OneNote 2003)
When copying preferences.dat isn't an option, right-click the custom tag's icon (not the paragraph) in the "other" notebook and choose Add To My Tags.OneNote 2010 screen shot showing right-click of icon to access Add To My Tags
