Why is Word needed?

Closed this issue · 4 comments

I guess this won't work with just the standalone MS365 Desktop Onenote installation? When you say free application I thought you just meant the "OneNote for Windows 10" UWP app.

That's true, the export process is converting notes into an intermediate docx file that requires both OneNote and Word to be installed. I never tried it but you can install evaluation version of Word if your licence do not includes it.

An alternative would be to export in an intermediate format other than docx, like html, but the tool dot not support it yet.

I tried a tool in the past that went MS cloud API --> html --> pandoc MD. Result was terrible. I'll look for a copy of Word. Thanks!

You're welcome, hope you will be satisfied with the result!
