There are programs out there that use file types that might not be familiar to many people. One of these file types is called ONEPKG. Now, the program that goes with it, the OneNote app, is actually really helpful. So it’s worth knowing how to open a ONEPKG file and understanding what it does.
So, what exactly is MS OneNote and ONEPKG?
Alright, so Microsoft OneNote is a program that lets you take notes however you want. You can jot down quick bits of info and then save them, share them, or keep them for later. The cool thing is that you can actually collaborate with other people online and work on these notes together.
Used to be, you could only get OneNote if you had the fancy Microsoft Office Suite. But now, they’re giving it away for free as a standalone app through the Microsoft Window Store. And just so you know, a regular OneNote file ends with .one.
Now, let’s talk about ONEPKG. It’s what we call a collection of .one files. Basically, a ONEPKG file holds a bunch of those .one documents. It’s kind of like when you zip or rar a bunch of files together. If you have software like Winrar, Winzip, or 7 Zip, you can actually extract the stuff inside a ONEPKG file. But you still need OneNote to actually read and use the contents.
How Can I Open a ONEPKG File?
Opening a ONEPKG file is easy and can be done in a few different ways:
A. Opening the ONEPKG file directly.
- By default, you can simply double-click on the ONEPKG file to open it in OneNote.
- If double-clicking doesn’t work, right-click on the ONEPKG file and select “Open With”.
- In the list of applications, look for “MS OneNote” and click “OK”. If the option “Always use this app to open .onepkg files” is not selected, make sure to check it.
- A window will appear, allowing you to choose a name and location for the extracted file. Select a name and location, and then click “Create”.
B. To open the file with the OneNote app, follow these simple steps:
- First, click on the File option located in the upper left corner of the top menu.
- Next, select the Open option.
- You will see a few default folder locations, as well as your OneDrive address if you have one. If your ONEPKG file is not in any of these folders, click on the Browse option in the lower left menu.
- In the Open Notebook window, you will notice a dropdown box on the lower right side, just above the Open and Cancel buttons. Click on it.
- From the dropdown menu, choose Open Note Single File Package.
- Navigate to the folder where your ONEPKG file is stored.
- Click on the Open button.
- A window will appear, prompting you to provide a name and location for the file. Enter the appropriate information and then click on the Create button.
C. How to Extract the Archive
- To extract the archive, simply rename the file extension from .onepkg to .zip or .rar
- Next, use either Winzip, 7 Zip, or Winrar to extract the file to any location you prefer.
- Your extracted folder will contain the .one files.
- Remember that although you can open .onepkg files this way, you’ll still need to use MS OneNote or MS Word to open the .one files.
Converting .one Files to Different File Types
While the ONEPKG files cannot be converted into other file types, the OneNote files themselves, with the .one extension, can. Here’s how:
- Open your .one file in OneNote.
- Click on File in the upper left corner.
- Select Export.
- Choose whether you want to export only the current Page, the entire Section, or the whole Notebook.
- Choose the File Type you want to convert the .one file to. The available types include .docx, .doc, .pdf, .xps, and .mht. Note that Whole Notebook export is only possible as .onepkg, .pdf, .xps, or .mht.
- Once you have selected the file type, click on Export.
What to Do If a ONEPKG File Doesn’t Open?
If you have MS OneNote installed on your computer but are unable to open a .onepkg file, make sure you have the correct file extension. There are many applications that use similar file types to OneNote’s .onepkg file. For example, the .PKG extension is used by various applications on macOS, iOS, PlayStation, and others. Although it may appear similar to ONEPKG, it is unrelated and cannot be opened by the OneNote app.
Less Popular, but Still Handy
The OneNote app is a valuable tool that may not be as well-known as its counterparts like Word and Excel. Therefore, it’s not surprising that many people are unfamiliar with the .onepkg extension. Hopefully, this article has provided you with insight on what to do if you come across this file type.
