If your goal is to have the content available somehow in OneNote, you might
be able to temporarily set the ON2007 printer as your default printer in
Windows and then select a bunch of these files and Print them from
Explorer. You would have to (re-)create your desired Notebook hierarchy
first and then move the scanned docs to the correct location. The scanned
docs will be searchable in OneNote but you won't be able to easily turn
these docs back into Word docs again.

It sounds like you already have a program to hold all of your research
files - Windows Explorer - there's no sense in recreating the wheel.
OneNote doesn't have the capability to do a mass input of large numbers of
files. Mayhaps some enterprising developer could create a utility using
the OneNote API...
