How to Make Note Cards in OneNote

The index card template in OneNote lets you create and print note cards.

Note cards are an efficient way of collecting and keeping information when doing research or making a presentation. They are small and portable and can be easily rearranged when used for a presentation or speech. Microsoft OneNote is designed for note taking with a keyboard or a stylus on a tablet computer. If you intend to print out your notes on note or index cards, you can load a default OneNote template and print the notes to card stock on a printer.
