Hmmm... I have assumed that I have applied all upgrades, as it is set to do
so automatically. It didn't occurr to me to check for an update, because I
didn't have ON03 actually installed on this desktop - it was on my Tablet.
Copies of those files were on my PC and that is what ON07 found but didn't
convert.

However, with this thought, I will check my Tablet and see if SP1 was
applied and then try and open those files with ON07 on my PC.

I would be interested in anything else the "OneNote guys" have to say! <smile>
