I use a solution that doesn't require -other programs, such as Evernote or Notion. Personally, I used this solution on -a managed corporate laptop that doesn't allow installation of other programs -like these. - -This solution uses OneNote and Pandoc on Windows 10. - -# Export OneNote Content to Word - -To start, export any pages or tabs from OneNote to the Word format (`.docx`): - -1. Open OneNote desktop. -2. Select `File` and then `Export`. -3. Select the scope of content to export, such as `Tab` or `Page`. -4. Name and save the file in an easy to remember location. I recommend your - Downloads or Desktop folder. - -See below for a visual walkthrough of the export process. - -# Download Pandoc - -Start by downloading Pandoc from their [GitHub -releases](https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/releases) page. I cannot install `.msi` -files on my corporate laptop, so I downloaded the -`pandoc-3.1.12.3-windows-x86_64.zip` file, which contains a simple `.exe` file -that you do not need to install - you will simply run it from the command line -below. - -Once downloaded, unzip the archive and move the `pandoc.exe` file to the same -folder where your Word documents were saved above. If you prefer, you can move -this file to an easier location, such as `C:\Users\youruser\Downloads`. - -# Convert Word to Markdown - -In this example, I will be converting the Word documents to Markdown, but Pandoc -supports [a ton of different formats for -conversion](https://github.com/jgm/pandoc?tab=readme-ov-file#the-universal-markup-converter). -Choose the format you prefer and then modify the following commands as needed. - -To perform the conversion, open the Command Prompt. If you can't find it, open -the start menu and search for it. - -Within the command prompt, navigate to the directory where you stored the -`pandoc.exe` file and the Word documents. - -```ps1 -cd "C:\Users\yourusername\Downloads" -``` - -You can verify that you're in the correct directory with the `dir` command. - -```ps1 -dir -``` - -Once you have verified that you have the command prompt open in the correct -directory with the `pandoc.exe` and the Word documents, you can run the -following loop to convert all Word documents to Markdown. - -```ps1 -for %f in (*.docx) do (pandoc.exe --extract-media=. --wrap=preserve "%f" -o "%f.md") -``` - -This loop will perform the following actions: - -1. Find all documents matching the pattern `*.docx`, which means all Word - documents ending with that file extension. -2. Iterate through all files found in step 1. -3. For each file, perform the pandoc command. -4. Within the pandoc command, `--extract-media` saves all media found in the - files to the current folder, with pandoc automatically creating a `media` - subfolder to hold all images. -5. Within the pandoc command, `--wrap=preserve` will attempt to prseerve the - wrapping from the source document. -6. Within the pandoc command, the final step is to specify the output path with - `-o`. This option adds the `.md` file extension to recognize the output files - as Markdown files. - -If you want to export to another format, simply specify the `-f=`/`--from=` and -`-t=`/`--to=` options. - -For example, you can convert the Word document to org-mode. You can also convert -to one format and subsequently convert to other formats as needed. - -```ps1 -pandoc.exe -f docx -t org file.docx -``` -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
