Microsoft OneNote's features -- collaborative work, automatic cloud syncing, write-anywhere note-taking -- make it a go-to program for many users taking notes for class or recording minutes for office meetings. However, not everyone has Microsoft OneNote, so you may find yourself needing to convert a OneNote notebook to another file format before sharing it with a collaborator. OneNote notebooks can be shared with others in a variety of file formats, including Microsoft Word.
