Introduction to One Note, Setup

• OneNote is part of Microsoft Office
• It is an attempt to create an electronic notebook.
• I think, with the advent to tablets, it might become an important addition to the student's tool box.
• It allows
  • Free-form information gathering and storage
  • Text, pictures, links, movies, ....
  • Hand annotation
  • Tags and Searching
  • Multiuser collaboration
  • It works on many platforms
  • And a web based version is available too
  • It is integrated into OneDrive
• References are Part VII of your book, Chapters 30, 31 and 32.
• Let's Get started,
• But first.
  • OneNote is a bit strange with saving.
  • When you start it, I will ask for OneDrive access.
  • If you do not provide this, it will attempt to save it in your home directory.
  • This is probably a bad thing on the lab machines.
  • But I don't think we have a choice as we start up.
• So Start OneNote2013
  • Click on the Windows Start Button
  • 
  • Either
    • select All Programs
    • 
    • And browse to Microsoft Office 2013 followed by OneNote 2013
    • 
      • OR
        • Type enough of OneNote 2013 in the search bar to find the program.
        • 
    • When you start OneNote it will create a default notebook.
      • This will have some tutorial information, and we will get back to this later.
      • But for now, let's move it to the S drive.
      • Select File from the tab.
      • Select Settings → Move or Share
      • Select Move Notebook
      • Select Move into a different folder
      • Browse to that folder.
      • Select Move.
    • Let us create a new notebook, for a party.
      • File
      • New
      • Name the Notebook
      • 
      • Select Create in a different folder and select where to save it.
    • Notebooks consist of multiple organizational levels
      • Page 867
      • The Notebook
      • Section Groups
      • Sections
      • Pages
      • Subpages
    • Let's Start with a plan
      • Draw it out on paper is easier for me
      • 
      • The party will be a notebook.
      • The Guests will be a section.
      • I will combine the food and drink sections into an eats section group.
      • I will do the same with outdoor, indoor and other activities into a section group labeled fun
    • So let's do this:
      • From Working With Sections Page 879
      • And Creating A section Group Page 883
      • This is a blank notebook.
      • 
      • Double Click in the New Section 1 tab and rename it to Guests
      • Click the + to make a new section.
      • Label this Food
      • Right click beside the sections and select New Section Group
      • 
      • Click on New Section Group 1 and rename it to be Eats
      • 
      • You can enter a section group by clicking on it.
      • You can exit a section group by clicking the return arrow.
      • 
      • You can create a new section for drinks, either at the top level and drag it into eats, or create it inside the eats section group.
      • Do the same for the section group Fun with the pages Outdoor Games, Indoor Games and Other
      • This is by no means a final setup, you can drag and drop and move sections anywhere.
    • Pages
      • From Working with Pages
      • There is a default page in each section, but it is untitled
      • Click above the date, and enter a title
      • Or Right click on untitled and select rename.
      • 
      • Name the first page Guest List
      • 
      • You can click on Add Page to add a new page.
      • You can delete anything by right clicking and select Delete
      • Add two more pages, Invitations and RSVPs
      • Click to move between pages.
      • There are a number of predefined page templates
        • Click on the INSERT tab.
        • Select Page Templates on the far right hand side
        • 
        • Select a format from the short list or
        • Select Page Templates
          • This will open up a Templates menu on the right.
          • You can select from a wider range of templates.
          • Save your current page as a template
          • Import other templates
    • SubPages
      • From Creating Subpages page 885
      • Once you have a page, you can add subpages.
      • This is the lowest organizational unit in OneNote.
      • Simply Create a page.
      • Right click on this page page title.
      • Select Make Subpage selection
      • 
      • The name will now be indented to show that this page is a subpage
      • You can promote subpages to pages in the same manner.
