How to open ONE file?
The main problem with OneNote Document is that the ONE file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that ONE files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ONE file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Microsoft OneNote
In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft OneNote application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft OneNote into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support ONE files.
Programs to open ONE file
Remember to download programs supporting ONE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft OneNote with ONE files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ONE file to open in the Microsoft OneNote application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft OneNote application as the default for handling the ONE file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft OneNote to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft OneNote with OneNote Document there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ONE file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the ONE file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ONE or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected ONE file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of ONE file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ONE file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ONE files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move ONE to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ONE file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ONE file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
