How to Organize Data with Microsoft OneNote

February 21, 2012

Microsoft OneNote is a useful application for taking notes, organizing information, and accessing them at any time, from any location. Microsoft OneNote comes as part of the Microsoft office 2010 Suite, but not many of us are aware of the potential of the app. In this tutorial, I’ll introduce you to OneNote and show you how you can organize data with Microsoft OneNote so that you can make the best use of a resource for which you have paid.

All you need to know about OneNote

OneNote is a central place to store your notes (you can type them out or handwrite them), web pages, videos, images, audio files and more. The interface gives the appearance of a notebook with loosely bound pages. There are three OneNote terms you should be familiar with.

Notebooks: This is a single OneNote file that pertains to a specific topic. It contains several pages. For instance, you can have a notebook called Recipes which will hold various recipes.

Sections: Within each OneNote file, there are tabs that allow you to group information as sections. For example, you can have vegetarian recipes or appetizers as a section in a Recipes notebook.

Pages: Each section contains pages. So in a Recipes notebook, you can have a section called vegetarian recipes and within that section, you can have several pages featuring vegetarian recipes.

    OneNote is a MS Application that is oftentimes ignored as it is pre-installed in Windows PC. But it is actually very useful in so many things. One of which is what you just shared about data organization. Great review!
