OneNote Skydrive on Windows Phone 7

OneNote syncing from your Windows Phone 7 device to the web and to the desktop version of OneNote is awesome. But what about OneNote notebooks that weren’t created on my Windows Phone 7 device? How do I get them on my phone?

The process for opening OneNote notebooks that weren’t created on your phone is a bit awkward, but once you get used to it, it only takes the minute or so to login to SkyDrive and off you go! The basic idea is to navigate to your document in SkyDrive and open your OneNote notebook from there.

  1. In your Windows Phone 7 browser, navigate to http://skydrive.live.com. If you’re using IE, make sure your “Website preference” is set to “Mobile version.”
  2. In SkyDrive, navigate to the OneNote document you’d like to open on your mobile device and click on it.
  3. And that’s all there is! The OneNote document is now imported onto your phone.
