Get Organized with Microsoft OneNote
To get started, open Microsoft OneNote. It will ask you to give the notebook a name. Name it and then click on Create Notebook.
When you create the notebook, OneNote will ask you if you would like to invite other people to view it. This option is helpful if you’re working on a team project, or even just want to share notes with someone.
Now your notebook is created. Microsoft OneNote works with a hierarchical system of organization that is made up of notebooks, sections, and pages.
- Notebooks are the main part of the system.
- Sections are the dividers within the notebook.
- Pages can further break down the sections.
To rename your first section, right click New Selection and select Rename.
Within the sections, you can create new pages. On the right-hand side, you will find a section that will say Add Page. Right click or type in the Header Section to rename your page.
One Notebook or Multiple Notebooks?
OneNote can very simply be used with one notebook and then you use the sections to break it all down into different topics. It’s a program that really allows you to customize your organization. By creating different notebooks, you can have a better system of organization. Plus, this way you can really keep the personal and the professional separated and have the option to share notebooks with others without sharing your personal things.
