Hello People!

I would like to open One-Note-2003-Files without OneNote - they are
text-only. I tried to open with Word an Notepad but in both ways there
is no "clean" text-output and it would be hard to do that manually.

Would be nice to get hints.

Regards,
onestone

You can't.

As Patrick already said: It's not possible to open OneNote files with
anything but Outlook.

There's a basic misunderstanding on your side:
Although in your notebook there is only "text", this does not at all
mean that the files would be in the TXT-format.
OneNote files have their own proprietary format.
Besides the text they contain a lot of information and otherwise
OneNote could not offer all those powerful features.

Take Word files f.e.; one cannot open them with a Text-Editor, the
same with Excel or any database.

If you want to get at the text, you can either copy the text to the
clipboard and paste it in Notepad (or any other application).
Or you can export from OneNote to
a) PDF
b) XPS
b) MHT (compiled HTML)
and then extract the text from there.
