	7	If you're looking to convert your OneNote content to another format, such as
	8	Markdown or Org-Mode, you're in luck. I use a solution that doesn't require
	9	other programs, such as Evernote or Notion. Personally, I used this solution on
	10	a managed corporate laptop that doesn't allow installation of other programs
	11	like these.
	12
	13	This solution uses OneNote and Pandoc on Windows 10.
	14
	15	* Export OneNote Content to Word
	16
	17	To start, export any pages or tabs from OneNote to the Word format (=.docx=):
	18
	19	1. Open OneNote desktop.
	20	2. Select =File= and then =Export=.
	21	3. Select the scope of content to export, such as =Tab= or =Page=.
	22	4. Name and save the file in an easy to remember location. I recommend your
	23	Downloads or Desktop folder.
	24
	25	* Download Pandoc
	26
	27	Start by downloading Pandoc from their [[https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/releases][GitHub releases]] page. I cannot install
	28	=.msi= files on my corporate laptop, so I downloaded the =
	29	pandoc-3.1.12.3-windows-x86_64.zip= file, which contains a simple =.exe= file
	30	that you do not need to install - you will simply run it from the command line
	31	below.
	32
	33	Once downloaded, unzip the archive and move the =pandoc.exe= file to the same
	34	folder where your Word documents were saved above. If you prefer, you can move
	35	this file to an easier location, such as =C:\Users\youruser\Downloads=.
	36
	37	* Convert Word to Markdown
	38
	39	In this example, I will be converting the Word documents to Markdown, but Pandoc
	40	supports [[https://github.com/jgm/pandoc?tab=readme-ov-file#the-universal-markup-converter][a ton of different formats for conversion]]. Choose the format you prefer
	41	and then modify the following commands as needed.
	42
	43	To perform the conversion, open the Command Prompt. If you can't find it, open
	44	the start menu and search for it.
	45
	46	Within the command prompt, navigate to the directory where you stored the
	47	=pandoc.exe= file and the Word documents.
	48
	49	#+begin_src cli
	50	cd "C:\Users\yourusername\Downloads"
	51	#+end_src
	52
	53	You can verify that you're in the correct directory with the =dir= command.
	54
	55	#+begin_src cli
	56	dir
	57	#+end_src
	58
	59	Once you have verified that you have the command prompt open in the correct
	60	directory with the =pandoc.exe= and the Word documents, you can run the
	61	following loop to convert all Word documents to Markdown.
	62
	63	#+begin_src cli
	64	for %f in (*.docx) do (pandoc.exe --extract-media=. --wrap=preserve "%f" "%f.md")
	65	#+end_src
	66
	67	This loop will perform the following actions:
	68
	69	1. Find all documents matching the pattern =*.docx=, which means all Word
	70	documents ending with that file extension.
	71	2. Iterate through all files found in step 1.
	72	3. For each file, perform the pandoc command.
	73	4. Within the pandoc command, =--extract-media= saves all media found in the
	74	files to the current folder, with pandoc automatically creating a =media=
	75	subfolder to hold all images.
	76	5. Within the pandoc command, =--wrap=preserve= will attempt to prseerve the
	77	wrapping from the source document.
	78	6. Within the pandoc command, the final step is to specify the output path with
	79	=-o=. This option adds the =.md= file extension to recognize the output files
	80	as Markdown files.
