Can you sync Onenote using a wired connection (PC to phone)...?

[489]

Asking this for a friend, she has Internet on her phone but not on her computer. If she was able to get Onenote onto her computer would it be possible to connect her cell phone to her computer through USB and sync the application? Her main goal is to be able to avoid typing long plans/notes/journals using her smart phone, instead planning everything on her computer and then transferring to her phone...

Any suggestions on a free application that would do something similar would be appreciated as well. Thanks tons

This is called "Tethering" and it's a built in feature of all smartphones, although some carriers will disable it if you have an unlimited data plan. You can use that term to look up instructions online for how to do it with a particular model of phone.

If you have OneNote on the phone, you must have some sort of "smartphone". What type? Which operating system?
Some phones call it "tethering": plug the PC into the phone and use the phone for the Internet connection.
Some phones can create a WiFi hotspot, that the PC or laptop can connect to over wifi. Look for Internet Sharing options.

To plug in and exchange data phone to PC directly over USB and sync OneNote files that way... I have never heard of anyone successfully doing that.

But ideally the PC should really be wired into a home broadband system somewhere. Or connecting with a 3G dongle. Or connecting over WiFi to a wifi hotspot.
