A bit about One Note now!
How can OneNote help me?
Something for everyone
OneNote is an idea processor, a notebook, an information organizer — some even call it an "add-on pack for your brain". Many people find OneNote indispensible once they start using it and we hope you do too!
OneNote can help if you need to:
- Make sure you don't lose any information that you think is important
- Organize scraps of information that don't fit well into e-mail, calendar, or formal documents
- Gather and refer back to notes from meetings or lectures
- Collect research from the Web or other sources and annotate it for yourself or others
- Keep track of what you need to do next and not miss anything
- Work closely with other people on a project sharing notes and files
OneNote will complement your activities in Microsoft® Office Outlook®, Word, and other programs in the Microsoft Office system through several integration features.
Capture ideas and gather information
You can quickly capture meeting notes, brainstorming notes, ideas and thoughts, audio from discussions, video from interviews, diagrams, and so on using the keyboard, pen or the recording capabilities in OneNote. You can also gather clippings from the Web, e-mail, miscellaneous materials for projects, customers, and classes, files, pictures, and so on using convenient integration with your Web browser and the Office system.
Keep things organized
With OneNote, all this information stays in one place. It is easy to organize it, or pile it together (if that’s your preference), and then search and find it again — even words in pictures and audio or video recordings! Since OneNote uses the familiar concept of notebooks divided into sections with pages, you can get going right away.
Be prepared
Having all this information at your fingertips will keep you always prepared: for the next meeting, for writing a final document or e-mail message, for doing a task, for talking to a customer, for going on a trip, and so on. You can flag items in your notebooks as Important or To Do and then quickly gather summaries of information you have flagged this way. OneNote is fully customizable so you can adapt it to your work style.
A team effort
You can also work with your whole team — in a shared notebook that everybody can edit at the same time and view even while not connected to the network. OneNote seamlessly merges the changes each time anyone updates the notebook. A shared notebook is a great way to see what information the team has gathered, what files and notes are available as sources, even what action items remain for the team to work on.
