Greatest tool ever

2008-04-07
This is the most useful program I have ever used. It has revolutionized the way I work and play on my computer. Kudos to Microsoft for creating the exact program everyone needs! I highly recommend this to anyone who works on multiple projects, manages community events, or just needs a way to keep track of any information on their computer.

OneNote has changed my life!

Good stuff

It's has more features than google notebook. The only downside it's not free like google notebook.

Where Have You Been All My Life,OneNote??

2008-03-15
This is the greatest thing EVER!! How is it that a veteran software hound and compulsive organizer just found out about OneNote? Now that I've found it, I can not live without it. This software is so easy to use and the designers have thought of everything and provided a way to collect and store any type of information.

Not only do I use this for my varied sewing and craft projects at home, I have procured copies for myself and all my staff at work. We are collaboratively working on an Operations Manual for our division, and we're all quite excited to be putting what we know and have previously documented into the same place with new documentation. It is actually making an otherwise onerous and overwhelming task a great deal of fun.

Get this, you'll find so many ways to use it.

Great Product from Microsoft?

2008-03-05
OneNote is a product that my wife and I love. I was looking for a software product flexible enough to allow me to implement David Allen's Getting Things Done (GTD) system the way I wanted to, and as a result I looked at and tested many, MANY software products. At first I fought trying OneNote because I don't like Microsoft, but I finally gave in to a trial. Since then I have found OneNote and Outlook to be the perfect GTD system for me. I have never traditionally been an organized person, but now my life is in order more than it ever has been. I LOVE how OneNote integrates with Outlook tasks. Aside from organizing my life, OneNote also organizes virtually ANY information I wish to store. My wife uses OneNote for EVERYTHING from her project management job to her personal life to lists to everything. She's an organization freak and she is in love with OneNote. Great product!

Significant improvement over 2003 version.

It takes a little practice to get OneNote conformed to your style. This version has much better integration to and from MS Outlook. Taking notes on a page derived from a meeting invite is a breeze. Adding tasks in OneNote with link to outlook is simple. Just a better overall experience. Note: it also indexes text in PDF documents! I wish I had this version when working on my MBA.

great product

I had the 2003 version of One Note and I love the expanded functionality of this program. as a student it is awesome for keeping all my notes organized. Even for personal projects and business it is great because I can keep all my notes in one place, arrange it however I want, and not waste time opening separate files just to view stuff. I recommend it to everybody I know for keeping track of all your information.

It's What Using a Computer Should Be Like

MS Office OneNote 2007 actually does what is says - keeps all your info close at hand and so easy to get to. The notebooks that come included in the program are a snap to personalize, and taking a screenshot (or Screen clippings, as OneNote calls them) is finally easy. I started out looking for journal-writing software, and I came away with a whole lot more. As a writer, at last I've found a way to keep all the research (pictures, web-pages, ideas, scribbles) for my books (yes, plural!) available to hand, whether in a different section of the notebook currently open, or by using hyperlinks to connect to another section or notebook. (And I highly recommend downloading the separate Word Count PowerToy.) Included in the software is an extremely useful HelpGuide, a complete notebook on its own. You can even make new pages or sections in the Guide to include your own tips. (I do have to say, though, that the Help button found in the top toolbar is totally worthless.) All in all, this product is definitely worth the money.

Part of the crowd

This has got to be one of the most under publicized Microsoft products in their vast software library. I also think it is one of their better products. One of the coolest things is if you do a lot of research on the web when you copy from the web it adds the reference to the original source at the bottom of the copy so you never have to try to figure out where it came from or re-Google to try to find the source, just double click on the source. Also very cool is its abilty to read and search for word text in screen shots from any application that you paste into OneNote. So if you find yourself getting a little overwhelmed with data this is just about the niftiest organizer on earth. I have many GB in my notebooks and the search is very fast.

OneNote takes some study

2008-04-27
Overall, I am happy with the purchase of OneNote 2007. It takes some study and practise to fully utilize. I am not there yet, but I see great potential in the product. The fact that it is seamlessly interfaced to Office 2007 products is a plus. OneNote 2007 is much more powerful than most text base note taking software. I have tried several and used one for years. Plan on ditching it for OneNote as soon as my confidence level increases.
