Microsoft Office OneNote is a product in the Microsoft Office software suite that allows you to gather notes, research and other information and organize it into digital notebooks, complete with sections and tabs.

Features

OneNote allows you to gather all of your information in one place. Organize notes into separate notebooks with color-coded sections and tabs. OneNote accepts text, pictures, audio, video and digital handwriting.

Benefits

OneNote lets you keep all of your information in one place and allows you to import information from other Microsoft Office programs directly into OneNote. Other programs, such as Internet browsers, give you an option to "Print to OneNote" when you open the print screen, though this option is only available for the 2007 version of OneNote.

Versions

OneNote 2003 was the first version of OneNote released by Microsoft. OneNote 2007 contains extra features, like the acceptance of digital handwriting. OneNote Mobile is basic note-taking software available on some Windows smartphones.

Free Trial

You can download a 60-day free trial of OneNote 2007 from Microsoft's website. You must activate the trial at the time of installation, according to the instructions, or OneNote will function as a viewer only. Once you activate the software, you will be able to use all of OneNote's functions for 60 days.

Cost

As of December 2009, you can purchase OneNote 2007 as a stand-alone product from Microsoft's website for $99.95. The cost to upgrade to OneNote 2007 from earlier Microsoft Office suites is $79.95. OneNote 2007 is included in Office Home and Student 2007, which retails for $149.95 as of December 2009.

OneNote is a software program from Microsoft originally created to run on tablet PCs. The software was so popular, however, that Microsoft quickly began packaging it as part of the standard Microsoft Office Suite. The software is designed to allow you to organize your notes and calendar together with Outlook (Microsoft’s calendar management software). While OneNote is quite powerful, numerous tools exist to make it work even better.

Canvas for OneNote

Canvas is designed to provide a broader overview of the notes you have stored in OneNote. In essence, what it does is create a kind of virtual “canvas” on which you can see a graphical representation of all your notes.

Task Requests from OneNote Meeting Notes

While the name may seem rather involved, the purpose of this program is quite simple. The software allows you to create better integration between the notes taken during a meeting on OneNote (a task for which it was originally designed) and Microsoft Outlook, which is designed to maintain your calendar. The software is capable of looking through your notes and helping you arrange tasks for other Outlook users, saving you the trouble of manually inputting such requests.

Favorites for OneNote

Another common issue when using OneNote is that you create so many different notebooks on the system it becomes nearly impossible to find the notebook one you need. This problem is easily solved using the OneNote Favorites power tool. This software allows you to designate certain notebooks under OneNote as favorites so they can be easily retrieved at a later date.

OneNote Word Count

One of the deficiencies of OneNote is that it is incapable of providing a simple word count for you. This is because the software was never designed as a word processor but more as a notepad on a computer screen. However, with OneNote Word Count, you can now get an exact word count for your OneNote notes.

OneNote 2003 is multi-feature software that focuses on capturing and storing information in the form of notes. OneNote 2003 was developed by the Microsoft Corporation and was designed for flexibility and ease of use while doing day-to-day tasks.

History

OneNote 2003 was introduced by Microsoft on April 5, 2004.

Features

OneNote 2003 has an easy-to-use interface that features a tabbed format (color-coded tabs, sections), an automatic save function (allowing you to never have to worry about losing un-saved data) and the capability to transfer information between projects with ease. OneNote 2003 has the ability to import various formats, including several types of documents, media files and on-screen handwritten notes.

Benefits

OneNote 2003 has a single-window format that allows you to work with information in one window, instead of alternating between multiple programs at the same time.

Warning

OneNote 2003 is now obsolete. Newer versions have been released with additional features that surpass the capabilities of OneNote 2003.

Additionally, the tool counts words created using the ink feature in OneNote, which allows freehand writing with a mouse or pen tools.

Microsoft Mathematics Add-In

Microsoft created the Mathematics Add-In for Word and OneNote to solve equations, plot graphs and simplify math tasks. The tool comes equipped with mathematical symbols and an import option for additional symbols. The add-in supports numerous functions including: trigonometry calculations, matrix operations and statistical computations. Graphing options provide the ability to plot graphs in 2-D or 3-D.

Xiipy Desktop for OneNote

Microsoft OneNote is a software application for note taking, collaborating and sharing ideas and materials between multiple people and computers. Originally released in 2003, OneNote has seen three major releases and the newest OneNote 2010 is part of Microsoft's Office 2010 suite of productivity applications. Its features are based around creating and managing content and sharing it across platforms. The program is not available as a stand-alone application, but comes with all three primary editions of Microsoft Office: Home and Student, Home and Business and Professional.

Creation Features

The Linked Notes feature allows users to create content in OneNote while working in other Microsoft applications, such as Word or Internet Explorer, and allows linking between documents in various programs. OneNote can also automatically gather documents from compatible programs and import them into OneNote. OneNote has stylistic options similar to Microsoft Word and includes the same formatting shortcut keys, as well as the Format Painter tool for use in content creation.

Management Features

OneNote's quick filing feature allows users to set specific notebooks as destinations, keeping multiple types of content automatically organized. Since more than one person might view and edit a document, opening public content gives users a view of recent changes to quickly locate new information and restore improperly edited material. OneNote also features a linking system of tying notes together, so users may navigate relevant documents via hyperlink. A "search-as-you-type" feature makes finding specific notebook information faster and more efficient.

Sharing Features

Users of OneNote can make all new notes available for other users to see, edit, save and comment on from a remotely accessible location. Users may also edit shared notebooks simultaneously with other connected individuals. The OneNote Web App allows users to access this content from a remote Internet browser and OneNote Mobile extends this functionality to Windows Phone 7 devices, although the mobile application requires an additional download and does not allow editing.

OneNote is a Microsoft product that is also part of the Home/Student and Ultimate versions of Microsoft Office. EndNote is a Thomson Reuters program that helps students, writers and researchers track their sources and citations.

Users

OneNote is geared toward personal and hobbyist users, students and business workers. EndNote is designed more for college-level students, and academics and those who write research reports.

EndNote Features

EndNote helps people format bibliographic information in a variety of citation styles, as well as locate and download full text articles in databases based on bibliographic information.

OneNote Features

OneNote allows you to take handwritten--using a tablet PC or scanner--or typed notes, copy a variety of media from other programs into OneNote notebooks and share and work on documents with others.

Integration

OneNote integrates with other Microsoft Office products, allowing users to copy text, tables, graphs, pictures and audio/video files into their project notebooks. EndNote X3 integrates with other word processing programs, including Apple Notes, Microsoft Word and OpenOffice, to include bibliographic information in research documents.

Just figured this out!!! It's been bugging me for months! 

When you use the one note driver to print (print:select printer:One Note 2010), you can click properties/preferences for it as a printer.. There is the option to print landscape or portrait! Note quite sure how to set this as a default but now there is no need to rotate them as images in One Note.

Using Microsoft Office OneNote 2003 SP1 or OneNote 2007 you can group and ungroup pages using the context menu. This feature is not available in previous versions nor is it available in OneNote 2010.

Group Pages

You create a group of pages whenever you add a sub-page. You can also create a group from existing pages by moving the page you want as the primary page just before the other pages in the group. Select the page tabs of the pages you want in the group by holding down either the Control key or the Shift key and clicking. Right-click and select Group Pages. In OneNote 2010, any primary page with one or more sub-pages is considered a group without performing the Group Pages function. Double-click the primary page to select the group and perform group functions.

Ungroup Pages

To unlock a group of pages, right-click the group and select Ungroup Pages.

Locking Groups

It is not possible to lock groups in any version of OneNote.

Microsoft Office includes OneNote, a program that functions as a digital organizer and notebook. It allows you to gather pieces of information in one location rather than juggling multiple files in multiple programs.

Notebooks

With OneNote, you create digital notebooks that contain sections. Within each section, you can add text, to-do lists, sound files, video file snippets from web pages and content from other Office documents. OneNote contains a search function and the ability to organize related information with wiki links.

Collaboration

OneNote 2010 offers a function similar to Word's track changes. When you share notebooks, OneNote highlights any changes made by your collaborators.

Requirements

To run OneNote, your computer must contain a 500 MHz or better processor, 256 MB of RAM at minimum, 1.5 GB of free space on its hard drive and a monitor capable of displaying a resolution of 1024 by 576 or higher. In addition, you must have 32-bit Windows XP with Service Pack 3, Windows Vista with Service Pack 1 or Windows 7.

Both OneNote and Word can serve as effective note-taking tools, and both are a part of the Microsoft Office suite of applications, but the comparisons quickly turn to contrasts examining the two programs side by side. OneNote is a free-form information collector, well suited for research that includes data from a variety of sources and formats. Word provides you with all of the tools needed to publish your work, formatted for printing or electronic distribution.

Microsoft Word

Microsoft Word is a full-featured word processing program. Its organizational paradigm is the document, a structured file of text and images that can be divided into sections and individual pages. Word includes nearly all of the tools necessary for producing complete desktop-published documents from a single page to books hundreds of pages in length. As a part of the Microsoft Office suite, Word can work with files produced by other members of the suite, including Excel and Access.

Microsoft OneNote

Microsoft OneNote is an information gathering and collaboration tool. The program organizes free-form notes, Web clippings, audio and other forms of media into notebooks. Within the notebook, you may divide the information into different sections, each with one or more pages of data. OneNote accepts input from the keyboard or in handwritten form, and it integrates with other Office suite programs, especially Outlook.

Capability Comparison

Because the two programs address different usage categories, Word and OneNote are not conducive to a side-by-side comparison. Both programs are effective in handling text input, checking for spelling errors and allowing formatting of the characters (font face, weight, and so forth). Where Word is well equipped to format output for printing or electronic publishing, OneNote's strengths are in gathering and organizing information, and its output capabilities are rudimentary.

Integration

The object linking and embedding capabilities of Word enable it to integrate tightly with other software tools. For example, an Excel spreadsheet may be inserted onto a Word page, becoming a dynamic part of the document while remaining editable by the spreadsheet program. OneNote can display snippets of Office files, but only as static images. Any changes made to the source document are not automatically reflected in the OneNote notes.
