Lesson 1 All the things you can do with OneNote

Get to know OneNote All the things you can do with OneNote Getting a handle on information in your job, and at home, can be overwhelming. There are so many sources of information in the information age. OneNote is designed to help you keep track of all this. It’s great for doing research, taking notes, organizing lists, and more — and keeping it all in one place. Here you’ll find out how to get information into OneNote, arrange that information to your satisfaction, and use your notes in other Office programs.

Get to know OneNote Write your notes When OneNote opens, you can start taking notes right away on the page, the blank central area in OneNote. Just click and type, or write, or draw — it really is that simple. All notes are held in note containers, which are invisible boxes that appear only when you move the cursor close to them. The animation shows how to take notes, add a new page, and enter a title. Animation: Right-click, and click Play.

Get to know OneNote Internet research Have you ever taken notes about something you’ve seen on the Internet, and later wondered where you found the information? You’ll love this. When you copy any text from a Web page and paste it into OneNote, the URL of the source page is included for you — with no extra effort at all. And if you copy a hyperlink, it retains its functionality and doesn’t turn into plain text.

Get to know OneNote Insert screen clips Research doesn’t always mean just text: sometimes you might want an image or an actual screen print of the source. You can do that, too, in OneNote. In your Web browser window (or any other program window) press the Windows logo key ( ) + S. Select an area of your screen using the mouse.

The animation shows how to move separate images and groups of drawings. Animation: Right-click, and click Play.
