Turn to OneNote for Productive Note Taking and Work Group Communication

By Beate Kunasei


Would you like to take notes on your desktop, but are not certain which program and method to select? Possibly you have found common software tools too limited, quit using them, and went back to pen and paper?

I've got some interesting news for you: With Office comes an excellent program to take notes. It is called OneNote, and as far as I know, among the most adaptable note taking software applications available today. Much like in your organizer, in Microsoft OneNote you're taking notes on pages. The pages belong to notebooks, which may be organized in sections.

Let me detail the main advantages:

* Unlike in most applications, content can be at anywhere you wish, basically like in your paper notebook. Pages can contain typed notes, hand-written text, pictures, math, recordings, webpages, and even video clips.

* OneNote is not going to limit you and instead adapts to your note-taking preferences. Don't know how to structure your notes? The program contains a variety of page templates, and even more are accessible online.

* Meanwhile, OneNote is a very powerful database for all types of information, such as scanned articles, images, or newspaper clippings. What's more, the program instantly recognizes textual content within scanned information, and ensures it is searchable. It is also possible to annotate or comment on all those documents.

* One particular useful feature is tags. Tags enable you to mark up sections as tasks, questions, assignments, and so on. You can create summaries comprising just issues you need to follow up, as well as the essential information from different pages in just one outline document.

* The program includes a great outline note-taking feature. This is a really efficient technique to create summaries, and also come up with the structure for tasks like starting a company, step-by-step procedures, books, etc.

* All information can be viewed and updated concurrently by multiple persons. You can see who updated what information, and when it was updated. This makes OneNote a superb team software.

OneNote is included in just about all Ms Office versions, and in all likelihood already installed on your computer. Whether you are a learner, engineer, or a business person, I believe, this app definitely will help you to improve your workflow.

If you have found this artilcle interesting and useful, I have done my job. Have an enjoyable and productive day, Hopefully, you will find the time to use OneNote.
