OneNote 2010: one easy, flexible, powerful space for all of your ideas. 1 If you’re new to OneNote or would like to explore key features that may be new to you even if they’re not new to OneNote, read on. This section provides a brief introduction to some of the key features that make OneNote your own expandable, accessible resource center. Otherwise, jump ahead to the next section and explore what’s new in OneNote 2010. OneNote takes the concept of a digital notebook to a new level, giving you one easy-to-use, customizable, central source for capturing, organizing and accessing all of the information that you need to keep at hand.  Create multiple notebooks, and add as many sections, pages and subpages as you need in each notebook. You can have multiple notebooks open at once and even search all of your notebooks simultaneously. OneNote automatically saves and indexes content as you add it to a notebook, so the information you need is right at your fingertips.  Share notebooks with others and even take notes in the same notebook (even on the same page) simultaneously. When you store your notebooks to a shared location, you have an instant teamwork and brainstorming tool.  Customize OneNote notebooks and work the way you want. You can color-code pages and sections, drag-and-drop to rearrange pages and sections, and choose whether to use rule lines on pages as well as customize the width of rule lines. You can also just click to type or insert content anywhere on the page—above, below, or beside other notes.  Need more space on the page? Just click and drag to add space horizontally or vertically— OneNote pages don’t run out of room, so it’s easy to keep related information together. You type notes while in a meeting or in class, when doing research, or when organizing your own thoughts. But text notes are far from the only type of information you need to store and access. Explore the many other types of content you can capture in OneNote for easy access whenever you need it. 2  Peel the sticky notes off of your monitor and desk and use OneNote side notes instead. You can quickly create a side note regardless of what program you’re working in and the notes you take are saved automatically in OneNote where you can file or search them later.  Insert screen clippings from your other open windows, such as to grab a screenshot of a news article that you need to reference for that paper you’re working on. OneNote inserts your screenshot on the page along with a date and time stamp showing when the shot was taken. If you take a screenshot from a Web page, OneNote also includes the Web address and page title automatically.  Send a copy of content from almost any program to OneNote using the Send to OneNote virtual printer.  Insert digital printouts of files, photos, and audio and video recordings. When you search for keywords, OneNote also searches the text in files you send to OneNote, digital printouts, screenshots, pictures inserted from your files, and the audio tracks in your audio and video files.  Record audio or video from within OneNote.1 When you record audio or video while taking notes—such as in a lecture, meeting, or presentation—OneNote adds an icon in the note margin. Click the icon beside any note later to play back what was being said or shown at the time you took that specific note. (Of course, always remember to get the permission of those present before you start recording!)  If you use a Tablet PC or other ink-enabled device, you can use OneNote like a traditional notebook and write with digital ink. OneNote learns your handwriting to make your ink notes searchable just like text and enables you to convert ink to text with just a click. Because OneNote automatically saves and indexes content as you add it to your notebooks, searching your notes is virtually instantaneous. OneNote also provides a host of features that make it easy for you to organize and access your information when and how you choose. For example: 1 Available to computers that include or are connected to appropriate audio or video recording devices. 3  Mark notes with Note Tags, such as To Do, Important, Question, or Idea. When you apply a tag, an icon appears next to the note. You can create or customize your own tags and search for tagged notes. You can even use tags interactively, such as by placing a checkmark in a To Do tag when the task is complete.  Create Microsoft Outlook® tasks from OneNote notes. Or insert Outlook calendar details into your notes to effortlessly keep meeting information together with the notes you take. See the Where to Find It section of this guide to learn how to access features discussed in this section.

Redefine working together OneNote 2010 helps you break down barriers so you can share, brainstorm and get things done together, more efficiently and effectively.  Simultaneously edit shared notebooks with other people in different locations, whether or not they are connected to your personal or business computer network.2  Stay up to date effortlessly when sharing notebooks with others. When you open a shared notebook in OneNote 2010, see recent changes highlighted automatically along with author indicators showing who wrote what. You can also find changes by author to quickly see who made specific contributions.  You never have to worry about someone making a change to notes you need with the ability to restore previous Page Versions. You can also use the Notebook Recycle Bin to retrieve content that you inadvertently discarded. If your ideas and deadlines don’t always occur conveniently when you are at your desk, you are certainly not alone. Fortunately, OneNote 2010 gives you the power to get things done when and where you want. 2 Simultaneous editing of shared notebooks with those outside of your network requires an appropriate device, Internet connection, and either Microsoft SharePoint® Foundation 2010 (for business) or a free Windows LiveTM ID (for personal use). The ability to use this functionality via Windows Live will become available in the second half of calendar year 2010. 5 Work when and where you choose It’s easy to take your notebooks with you and stay on top of your content on the go.  Microsoft OneNote Web App enables you to store your notes online and edit them from a Web browser.

OneNote 2010 learns from your searches and prioritizes results to get you to the information you need quickly.  Add wiki links to pages, sections, and section groups within your notebook to ensure that related content is always easily accessible. 3 Microsoft Office Web Apps require an appropriate device, Internet connection, supported Windows® Internet Explorer®, Safari, or Firefox browser, and either SharePoint Foundation 2010 (for business) or a free Windows Live ID (for personal use).

There are some differences between the features of Office Web Apps and the Office 2010 applications. 4 An appropriate device is required. Some mobile functionality requires an Internet connection.
