Re: OneNote and Office Live Workspace

I succeeded in linking OneNote to Office Live (Small Business). It is
essential that you use the Small Business version of Office Live:
http://smallbusiness.officelive.com/ This is free as well.

Steps to follow:
- In the main menu (top left) of your Office Live Small Business click on
"Business Applications".
- Click on "Add Application".
- Click on "Your custom applications" and on the radio button at "Blank
Workspace" and "OK".
- Choose a name like "OneNote" (no spaces).
- Click on "Add", "Document Library". Choose a name like "OfficeLive" (no
spaces).
- The default document template should be "Microsoft Office OneNote section"
(don't know if this is needed).
- Click on the newly created Tab and note the url of the page.
This could look like:
http://LOGINwebofficelivecom.officel.../AllItems.aspx

In OneNote:
- New, File, OneNote Notebook
- Name: OfficeLive
- Location: https://LOGINwebofficelivecom.officelive.com/OneNote/
In grey you should see the resulting path to the document library:
https://LOGINwebofficelivecom.office...ote/OfficeLive

When you click the button, the connection should be made and in OneNote you
should see a green connection button.

Note that you should change LOGIN by your loginname, but that should be
obvious when you see your Office Live Small Business URL.

Good luck!

And why, why Microsoft have you made this so difficult ...
