Sheridan Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Does anyone know of a program that can convert Smart Notebook (V10) files to powerpoint? I know that Notebook has an export to Powerpoint option, but it doesn't work (probably because 10.8 is an old version of Notebook and we're running Office 2016 with VBA installed) We're probably ditching old smartboard for touchscreens but have quite a lot of old notebook files to convert.
ricki Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Can staff not upload them to classflow and use them from there Richard
6Foot2 Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Could you save them to OneNote and open them from there in PowerPoint?
Sheridan Posted January 9, 2018 Author Posted January 9, 2018 I've never looked into Classflow or OneNote to be honest - do they handle Notebook files or convert them?
tmoon-mint Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Could you install a trial of Smart 17 and use that? I think downgrading to Office 2010 temporarily would fix it too.
Sheridan Posted January 9, 2018 Author Posted January 9, 2018 Yeah I did think about trial versions, but ideally we'd like to allow a whole department of staff (approx 6 people and 10 PCs) the chance to convert them at their own pace!
mstech98 Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Is there a way you could upgrade Smart Notebook to 11? (I think that was the last free version.)

Sheridan Posted January 14, 2018 Author Posted January 14, 2018 Does notebook 11 still work with office 2016 or does it still bring up the vba error?
Primus Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Notebook 11 has the same issue for us with Office 2016.
hallb15 Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 You could use notebook express - the free online notebook file viewer. If it still works? http://express.smarttech.com/#
JATSO Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 You could use notebook express - the free online notebook file viewer. If it still works? http://express.smarttech.com/# Yes it still works and for Flash embedded notebook files that will not work in V17. 1
mstech98 Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 You could use notebook express - the free online notebook file viewer. If it still works? http://express.smarttech.com/# Officially I think they stopped supporting Notebook Express. But if it still works... 1
Sheridan Posted January 16, 2018 Author Posted January 16, 2018 Only problem with that, is that it requires flash [emoji51]
arh1a Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 Did you find a solution to this? I'm in the situation now where I want to convert all .notebook files to PowerPoint 2016 so Smart Notebook can be completely removed from the network.
Sheridan Posted February 8, 2018 Author Posted February 8, 2018 No solution as yet, looks like we might have to buy a copy of the latest version purely to save the important ones out as PowerPoints. At least then we’ll be shot of proprietary stuff like this. 1
eddyc Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 I thought you can run the latest version for 30 days as a trail? That might be long enough to do your converting? 1

themightymrp Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 What worked for me - Install Office 2010 on the machine that has Smart Notebook 11 on it, selecting all options. Then upgrade that to Office 2016. All Office 2016 features work as per normal but whatever got left behind by Office 2010 has allowed the Smart Notebook exports to work
DrBeaker Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 Does notebook 11 still work with office 2016 or does it still bring up the vba error? What worked for me - Install Office 2010 on the machine that has Smart Notebook 11 on it, selecting all options. Then upgrade that to Office 2016. All Office 2016 features work as per normal but whatever got left behind by Office 2010 has allowed the Smart Notebook exports to work Interesting points. We're looking to move to Windows 10, Office 2016 but with keeping SMART Notebook 11.4 - I didn't even know this was an issue. I'll have to do some testing. Thanks
