==OneNote Web Exporter==
I use the [http://www.codeplex.com/ONWebber OneNote Web Exporter] tool to produce the online notebooks. Unfortunately it creates MHT files which only work in Internet Explorer and Opera. I have spent a few hours looking for a way to make them work in Firefox. You can try to install the [http://www.unmht.org/unmht/en_index.html UnMHT extension. This didn't really work however in my tests.

I don't like that it is IE only. I've contacted the developer of the extension and he is currently hard at work at OneNote "14", the next version of OneNote which supports online notebooks. Hopefully this will be better and I will try to go back and republish notebooks if something better comes out.

It is good because it recreates the structure of OneNote notebooks. A down side is that it is not on the wiki, and is less SEO friendly.

I also tried using a MHT converter - no real luck here. I could also try to build my own with Auto-It.

==Other Options==
I have also explored other programs and options.
===TOC PDF===
[http://www.codeplex.com/onenote2pdf OneNote2PDF] is supposed to make a PDF with table of contents bookmarks. I spent several hours trying to get it to work.

===PDF===
OneNote comes with a PDF exporter built in. Unfortunately, it does not add bookmarks for the files so that it is really hard to navigate. I may choose to publish this as a backup.

===Exporting as Image Files===
For some of the [[11th Grade]] work I did in OneNote (hint: very little) I exported a page as an image file. ([[:Image:Personal Finance.jpg|Example]]). This is very time consuming and I need to recreate the notebook structure on the wiki. I like it since it still uses the wiki, but it would take a few hours to export a class.

Of course I could also spend a few hours designing an Auto-It script to do it automatically. I would need to:
*Focus on OneNote
*Export mht file
*Switch to IE to use Snag it to make image
*Name image
*Switch to OneNote
*Go to next page, section
*Repeat
*Upload to MediaWiki
*Present structure I could use to link to
Actually as I write this it seems easy. Perhaps on a rainy day.

A downside is that the script would be flakey and that all of the content would be images.
