How to Use Onenote
Microsoft Office OneNote 2007 is a software application designed to simulate the experience of using a physical notebook or tabbed binder. OneNote features allow you to write loosely structured notes, scribble ideas, or even use the digital equivalent of sticky notes on sheets of digital paper which you can then organize in a digital binder. Microsoft OneNote is compatible with tablet PC-style interfaces, but can also be used on Windows XP and Windows Vista operating systems. After you have set up a basic notebook/binder in OneNote, you can begin to use OneNote immediately.
