IS ONE NOTE A GOOD INVESTMENT FOR ME?
Clueless Coach 10.08.2006 14:17:03
I use MS Outlook 2003 quite a bit - and had little success with the trial
version of One Note. Is it worth purchasing ? Thanks

I don't know which version of ON your trial version is but I can tell you
that ON 2007 integrates very nicely with Outlook 2007. I've read that ON
2007 currently has problems with Outlook 2003.

You don't say what you want to use OneNote for so it's a bit difficult
to give you an answer as to whether or not it's a good buy for you.

I don't know if the trial version you downloaded contains the latest
release, but I remember that OneNote 2003 became a lot more useful when
Service Pack 2 came out. Click on Help, select About Microsoft Office
OneNote and see what version you have. If it doesn't have "SP2" at the
end, get the update.

There are also several PowerToys for OneNote 2003 that add some great
functionality to the program, well worth checking out.

It's hard to tell if it would be worth purchasing without knowing what you
plan on using it for. It is not a replacement for Outlook.

For what it's worth:

I have found that I use it instead of using Word to keep meeting notes,
phone conversation notes, etc.

After several days of meetings with clients I can pull together an agenda
for a 'wrap-up' session very quickly by using the flags. This has saved me
much time with the added advantage that I don't miss an important point that
needs to be discussed in the final meeting.

The search capabilities are remarkable. I can find documents whether I
typed them or scripted them (I have a tablet).

I second Steve's comments about SP2 and power toys.
