Very New User? grep <grep[ at ]grepster.grep> 2/28/2007 11:25:42 PM Can someone point me in the direction of how to get started with OneNote? I've got OneNote 2003, but don't have any idea what to do with it. I was under the impression that it's really only useful if you have a tablet, but it seems from this group that people are using it otherwise too. I'd like to know more about that. grep

Other than that, it's a 1.0 app from Microsoft ! I think OneNote *CAN* be used for some things, but for the most part there are much better apps out there, depending on what YOU want to accomplish. Which begs the question, what do you want it to do ? FYI, OneNote 2007 is a much more useful app with much improved internal and external linking and better integration with Outlook 2007. OneNote's peer to peer synching over a Hamachi VPN is very enjoyable. I have My OneNote Notebooks at home, at work, and on my Tablet, all synched up, and it is done without any intervention. :)

OneNote is a note-taking application primarily but not exclusively geared towards students and businesspeople.

Re: Very New User? KR 3/2/2007 11:37:43 PM It makes a very good file cabinet to group files from different sources but for the same purpose. You can look at them all at the same time without opening multiple files. For example, doing research on a particular topic. When you find something you want to keep from whatever source, you can copy it to your OneNote and organize it later. It's also a great place to keep information for traveling (i.e. electronic tickets, hotel info, sightseeing ideas) all in one place so you don't have to go searching back thru your email, etc. when the time comes. -- KR "Erik Sojka (MVP)" wrote: [Quoted Text] > While I agree that the OP should forget ON2003 and move to ON2007, that > doesn't answer the original question. > > OneNote is a note-taking application primarily but not exclusively geared > towards students and businesspeople. > > More information about the product and its use can be found at these > sites: > http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/onenote/HA101656661033.aspx > http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/onenote/HA101650251033.aspx > http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/onenote/FX101759221033.aspx > > > > "EMRhelp.org" <EMRhelp.org[ at ]gmail.com> wrote in > news:1172707601.814227.148610[ at ]8g2000cwh.googlegroups.com: > > > On Feb 28, 6:25 pm, grep <g...[ at ]grepster.grep> wrote: > >> Can someone point me in the direction of how to get started with > >> OneNote?
