Using Microsoft OneNote Created by Salvatore DeGennaro Using Microsoft OneNote Microsoft OneNote is an application designed to create instructional documents by incorporating drawing and screen capture capabilities into a powerful word processing environment. OneNote also facilitates the exporting of documents to multiple file types. Folders and Tabs Layout OneNote has a substantially different look than the other applications of MS Office suite. OneNote organizes files in a folder and tab based layout. This layout gives OneNote the ability to effectively organize a large amount of instructional materials or class notes. When utilized on tablet PCs with touch screens OneNote facilitates hand written documents which can then be exported to word documents. At the top of the workspace, below the menus and toolbars, you will see a listing of tabs named miscellaneous, Research, Projects, etc You can right-click on any of these tabs and re-name the tabs, delete them, or create new ones. You can then create a new document under any tab. The new document will be stored under that tab and individual documents can be opened by clicking of the numbered tabs that appear on the right side of the workspace as documents are created. Folder Tabs Document Tabs Font and Pens OneNote contains a diverse set of tools that offer far more formatting and drawing capabilities than does MS Word.
