Microsoft OneNote is a program I've been using on my computer for years. I used it in college to take notes in my classes. I use it now to organize information I may need when online or away from home, but want to keep secure. I keep some of my notebooks locked with a password for security.
The possibilities for organizing with OneNote are limitless! As the image above shows, you can easily plan travel within a notebook. For a free, travel notebook template, click here. With the new 2013 edition, sharing with others and syncing with your Skydrive account couldn't be easier. Everything can be done right in the program.
Planning a wedding? There's a template for that. Need a DIY home renovation notebook? There's a template for that, too!
The Send to OneNote Tool makes it easy to clip information from the web and paste it into any of your notebooks. Think - recipes, pictures, maps, directions, an article to save for later reference, and much more!
If you have a Windows 8 touch-screen PC or tablet with OneNote 2013, you can easily hand write notes or draw pictures into notebooks.
Microsoft Office 2013 is now available online for purchase. It is only compatible with Windows 7 & 8. I upgraded before becoming a Windows Champion because I'm one of those people who always has to have the latest Microsoft Office version. Usually I wonder why I do it, because it seems like not much changes. This time, I was so glad I did. I really, truly love the 2013 version. Everything runs easily and my documents look amazing.
Office 365 Home Premium is also now available. Try a one month trial for free. Students can try Office 365 free for 3 months. The OneNote app for Windows 8 or RT is available here.
Do you use Microsoft OneNote for organizing information on your computer?

Love OneNote! I organize EVERYTHING in it! The only thing that makes me really sad is that the mobile/tablet version is so simplified you lose a lot of the great features I love in the desktop version, from what my research tells me. I don't have a smartphone or a tablet (yet) but that's one thing I really really wish would be better, because I honestly don't know what I'll do without OneNote. They really need to work on the OneNote App for Android.
ReplyDeleteI love using Office and can't wait to update to Office 2013. I tried it and fell in love with it.
ReplyDeleteIve wondered about using OneNote but thought you needed a touch screen to use it. Reading this post has given me new insight and I will check it out properly. :) Thanks for your post.
