Introduction
Welcome
00:04Hi and welcome to OneNote 2013 Essential Training, I'm David Rivers.
00:08In this course, we'll see everything you need to get started using this powerful note-taking software from Microsoft.
00:15We'll begin with a quick overview of OneNote 2013, what it is, and how you can use it to improve your productivity.
00:21In no time at all, you'll be creating your own digital Notebooks with sections, pages,
00:26Subpages, and of course, notes.
00:30Then I'll show you how to get all kinds of existing content into your Notebooks like
00:34text, images, audio and video, even other files, like Excel Spreadsheets and Visio drawings.
00:42Next, we'll spend some time learning ways to stay organized when working with digital
00:46Notebooks, so your work is efficiently as possible, such as using tables to keep your
00:50content in its place, and then we'll move on to some formatting options to ensure
00:55your Notebooks, pages, and content always look their best.
01:00One of the big advantages to working with digital Notebooks is the ability to share
01:04and collaborate with others, and we'll see several different ways to share a Notebook
01:08with others like saving to the Cloud and inviting people to share.
01:13OneNote 2013 might be considered Microsoft's hidden gem.
01:17With so much to cover, let's get started with OneNote 2013 Essential Training.

Using the exercies files
00:00If you're a Premium Subscriber with lynda.com, you'll have access to the exercise files, and
00:05and the exercise files allow you to follow along with me step by step.
00:08Now, if you do plan on using them, I highly recommend placing them in a convenient location such as your desktop.
00:15When you double-click this folder, you'll notice subfolders representing each of the chapters in this title.
00:20Of course, inside those subfolders is where you'll find the various Notebooks and files
00:25we will be using in that chapter.
00:27Now, if you don't have access to the exercise files, not to worry.
00:31You can still learn lots by following along with your own Notebooks and files or by simply sitting back, relaxing, and watching.

1. Getting Started with OneNote 2013
What is OneNote?
00:00If you're still hearing about OneNote and wondering what exactly it is, you're definitely not alone.
00:05So, before we dive into the features and functions of OneNote 2013, let's first get a good understanding of
00:11what it really is, and what it can be used for.
00:14And whether Microsoft hasn't done enough to market OneNote or people just assume it's
00:18meant to run on a tablet PC, this hidden gem can be a useful tool for any person who needs
00:24to take notes or gather information in any scenario on any computer or mobile device.
00:30By definition, Microsoft OneNote is a note taking software program that can work in conjunction
00:36with other programs in the Office suite or all on its own and give you anywhere-anytime-access
00:41to those notes from your computers and mobile devices.
00:45But OneNote is so much more than that.
00:47You can create multiple notebooks, such as one for business purposes and one for personal use.
00:52Each notebook can be broken down into sections, such as for individual projects, brainstorming, record-keeping, and so on.
01:00Inside those sections, you can create pages and Subpages as well.
01:05If you're relatively comfortable in Word but you're kind of weary of new programs, you can rest easy.
01:10OneNote's appearance and controls kind resemble a trimmed down version of Word.
01:15So, you'll pick it up quite quickly.
01:17And this is no coincidence as the program is designed to complement Office and integrate
01:21seamlessly with its components.
01:23You could even think of it as a go-between for Word and Outlook.
01:27But of course, there are things you can do with OneNote that you can't with Word or Outlook.
01:32You can move pages of notes or portions of notes around as you see fit, and this is one of its greatest strengths.
01:38You can use OneNote to plan a project, conduct research for the project using built-in features
01:43to help you with online research as well as integration with an encyclopedia and thesaurus
01:49and then arrange the research notes to come up with a structure for written materials related to the project.
01:56Other cool features include flag notes that are readily accessible via a task pane, great for to-do items.
02:02The ability to share notes and collaborate with others via a variety of online and off-line options.
02:08The ability to incorporate handwriting, audio and video clips, and there's an outstanding
02:14screen clipping feature for grabbing existing content.
02:17You can even insert entire files into a notebook like an Excel Spreadsheet or even a Visio diagram.
02:24Course having all your notes organized and in one place means you'll never waste time
02:29trying to find what you're looking for.
02:32Built-in search functionality will easily find that web address you jotted down months
02:36ago, and it will do with lightning speed.
02:39You can even find text embedded in the images, thanks to OCR or Optical Character Recognition.
02:46So what's the Verdict?
02:47Well, OneNote is an excellent, easy-to-use tool for students, writers, professionals,
02:52anyone looking for a way to organize notes or anyone at all who needs more flexibility
02:58than Word provides in the creation of documents.
03:01And don't be fooled by anyone who tells you OneNote is only for tablet PCs.
03:05This is either a ploy to get you to buy a tablet or a side effect that Microsoft's niche marketing of the product.
03:12In actuality, it performs very well on any Windows machine.

Launching OneNote and touring the interface
00:00Well, just before we use OneNote 2013 to create notebooks, we should look at different ways
00:06to launch the program as well as take a tour of the user interface.
00:10There are a few changes from previous versions of OneNote you need to be aware of.
00:14So, let's begin by launching OneNote here in Windows 8.
00:17As you can see tiles are created when you install programs like Office 2013, and there's
00:22one for OneNote 2013 right there.
00:26Clicking this tile will launch the program.
00:28Now, if I have used OneNote before, it will take me directly to the last notebook I worked
00:33on, in the last section, on the last page where I left off.
00:37If you've never used OneNote 2013 before, you'll be taken to something called Quick Notes,
00:41a default area where things are sent to automatically and can be moved out of there into various notebooks.
00:48But we'll talk more about that later on.
00:51Another way to launch OneNote, if you're in a previous version of Windows, for example,
00:55you might have an icon on your desktop or you might need to go to your Start button
00:59down in the bottom left corner to find the program OneNote 2013.
01:04But we can also go to the actual notebook itself and launch OneNote from there.
01:09On my Desktop is where I have my exercise files. You can navigate to yours.
01:14When you double-click this folder, you're going to see subfolders for each of the chapters
01:19and double-clicking Chapter 1 will reveal a folder named Notebook_Sample.
01:23Now, Notebook_Sample is actually the name of our notebook, but notice it doesn't appear
01:28as a file like you might be accustomed to in other programs like Word, for example.
01:33Instead we see this folder and double- clicking it, we're going to see each of the sections
01:37in this notebook, including an option to Open the Notebook from here.
01:42Notice that this icon looks a little bit different than the others which represent sections in our notebook.
01:47So, double-clicking Open Notebook, for any notebook that's created will actually open
01:52this particular notebook, of course, launching OneNote 2013 in the process.
01:56So, let's double-click Open Notebook.
01:59All right, that takes us right into OneNote 2013 where we left off.
02:03If it's your first time opening up this notebook, though, you'll see the very first section
02:08of the very first page and all of that information appears on our user interface which we're
02:13going to tour quickly right now.
02:15Across the top, you're going to see information on the title bar.
02:18This is the name of the page you're looking at in OneNote.
02:21Off to the left-hand side, the quick access toolbar like other Office programs.
02:27From here, we have navigation buttons for moving back, for example, through various pages you've gone to.
02:33There's an Undo button, and we also have this little icon for docking OneNote to the Desktop
02:37which is a handy feature, if you want to run other programs simultaneously and move things
02:42from those programs into OneNote. We'll talk more about that later as well.
02:46There is also a dropdown for Quick Access toolbar or you can customize what appears
02:51on the Quick Access toolbar, what does not as well as other options that we'll talk about
02:57later on in this title when we talk about customizing OneNote.
03:00For now, we'll just leave it as is.
03:03After the right-hand side of the title bar we have some buttons, our Help button,
03:07F1 on your keyboard is still the shortcut.
03:09There is also this little guy which is an option for customizing your ribbon, how it behaves.
03:16We'll talk about that when we look at the ribbon in a moment.
03:20There is a Minimize button, a Maximize or Restore button, and your Close button for closing down the program.
03:26Also down below, if you're already locked into Microsoft account, you'll see your account name,
03:30and mine as you can see is David Rivers.
03:33Clicking this dropdown is where I can go to do things like change my photo, adjust settings,
03:37even switch to a different account.
03:39If you're not already logged in, you can login from here as well.
03:42I just click off to the side to close that up.
03:46Next, we're going to see a number of tabs, starting with the File tab.
03:51Now, this is the ribbon but as you can see we're only seeing tabs.
03:54It's kind of collapsed right now.
03:56So, if you were to click file, for example, we go into our backstage view.
04:01We'll click the Back button at the top. Next, we have the Home tab.
04:06Now, this expands our ribbon to display the Home categories like Clipboard, Basic Text, Styles, et cetera.
04:13Click Insert to go to Insert categories, inserting files, images, links, and so on.
04:20And then as you can see as we click these tabs, we see the various related categories down below.
04:25Now, this is expanded while we're using it.
04:27When we go back down into our page and click, you can see it's collapsed.
04:32That is the default view.
04:33If we go up to the top right-hand corner again, back to that little icon representing
04:37our ribbon, give it a click, and you'll see some different options.
04:40Show Tab is selected as a default.
04:43That's why we're only seeing the tabs until we go to those tabs to use the ribbon.
04:47There is also Auto Hide which will hide the entire ribbon, including the tabs.
04:51Or, if you prefer to see the tabs and all of the commands at all times, you would choose this third option.
04:57I'm going to leave it at Show Tabs.
05:00We'll talk more about customizing as I mentioned later on in this title, so just click anywhere
05:04on the page again to go back there.
05:07Now just below our ribbon tabs, we'll see the name of our notebook, Notebook_Sample.
05:12We can click the dropdown to get some options related to our notebook like adding new notebooks,
05:17pinning it right here will allow us when you have multiple notebooks to always see
05:21the ones that are important to us on this list.
05:24We can open other notebooks which allow us to go browsing for other notebooks.
05:29And there's Quick Notes, something I mentioned earlier.
05:31Quick Notes is where by default things are sent to OneNote when you choose the Send To option.
05:37So, you can go into your Quick Notes to find things that have been sent to OneNote, grab them,
05:41and put them into your various notebooks.
05:44Let's just click on the page again to close that up.
05:47Next, we have the various tabs as representing the sections in our notebook, and you can
05:51have as many sections as you like in a notebook, and within those sections, if we were to click
05:55Travel, for example, you'll see pages, and those appear over here on the right-hand side
06:00in our Navigation Pane, you can see we can add new pages from here.
06:04We can access pages as well as Subpages. By clicking a Subpage, you can see the contents.
06:11And over here, we'll also see the ability to collapse pages, so if we click the little
06:15icon to the right-hand side to collapse, our West Coast Trip appears at the top, and now
06:21we have our East Coast Trip down below, all part of our Travel section.
06:25So, if you want collapse that as well, it's the same button.
06:28It allows you to focus a little bit better on the pages that are important to you while
06:32you're working in this particular section.
06:35So, as we go through the various tabs across the top, you can see the sections,
06:40and then lastly, there will be a tab with a Plus sign. And here's where we go to create new sections.
06:46We can move those sections around. We'll talk about that little later on as well.
06:50Right now we're just getting comfortable in our new user interface.
06:54Lastly, this little icon here allows us to switch to full page view, shortcut to going
06:59to the View tab on the ribbon and choosing Full-Page View which will expand our page
07:04to cover the entire screen, and we can go back so we have access to our ribbon sections, et cetera.
07:10By clicking another icon that appears at the top, here it is, back to normal view.
07:15Those are the two different views, the Normal View being the default.
07:18So, that's a quick tour of the user interface.
07:21Now, you should be feeling comfortable in your new OneNote 2013 environment and ready to start working with notebooks.

Sharing and moving notebooks
00:00Working with OneNote notebooks is very different from working with standard files in other
00:05programs, like Spreadsheets in Excel or Documents in Word, for example.
00:09When we create a notebook, we're actually creating a folder in a default location we'll
00:13talk about momentarily, as you add sections and pages and text notes and content,
00:19all of those changes are being saved for you instantaneously and automatically.
00:24So we're actually going to focus right now on how to move your notebooks around and even share them.
00:30And we'll continue to work with our notebooks sample here found in the Chapter 1 folder of your exercise files.
00:36So Let's say we wanted to, for example, add something to our Staff Events here, so with
00:41the Staff Events page selected here under the Misc tab, we might click after the December-Holiday
00:48Party line, and where it says date to be determined, we might type in a date.
00:53Let's type in December 22nd, so we've made a change, let's just click outside the placeholder
01:00that's created for us automatically.
01:03And go to save our changes like would in other programs.
01:06Typically that means hitting the File tab and going down to Save or Save As.
01:11But notice there is no Save option, and that's because those changes were automatically saved instantaneously.
01:18What we do see with Info selected here are a couple of buttons for sharing across devices
01:24as well as a Settings dropdown, let's click that.
01:27Now from here, as you can see we can close up our notebook if we wanted to access the
01:32Properties and change the name of our notebook, if we wanted to or choose to Share or even
01:37Move this to another location.
01:39Let's start there. When we choose Share you'll notice things like your SkyDrive, now if you're
01:45already signed up and logged in to your Microsoft account, you might have to do that first
01:50to see your name next to SkyDrive.
01:52But it is the new default, and that's a perfect place to store notebooks if you want to be to share them.
01:58Notice the name continues to be Notebooks_Sample, and all we'd have to do is click Move Notebook
02:03to move it to SkyDrive, and then of course, with it in the cloud we have the ability to
02:08pick and choose who we want to share with, including the general public.
02:12We could also choose to move it to a different folder, for example, if we put it somewhere else
02:16on our own hard drive or maybe on another device.
02:20Choosing moving to a different folder by clicking the link allows us to navigate.
02:25One thing you'll see in your documents folder is one called OneNote Notebooks, and that's
02:30a folder that's created by default for you by OneNote, and that is the default location
02:35for any new notebooks you create.
02:37So keep that in mind, if you want to them to another location.
02:40I think we're okay with where we have our notebook right now.
02:44So we'll just click Cancel.
02:46Let's go back by clicking the Back button here in backstage view, and click the File tab again,
02:50and click the Settings dropdown.
02:54We also have the ability to change things about our notebooks--the properties--by clicking Properties here.
03:00First of all, we can change the Display name.
03:02Notebooks_Sample is the same as the folder name, but we can change what appears up here
03:07on our very first tab by changing the Display name.
03:11So, for example, we already know it's a notebook. We could take that out and just delete Sample and click Ok.
03:16But before we do that, we can change the color of our notebook, as you have multiple notebooks
03:22appearing from this dropdown, you might want to color code them, so clicking the dropdown
03:27here would display this color, and if we want to change it to something else,
03:31it's just clicking the color dropdown and selecting the color.
03:33You can also change the location from here as well.
03:37We can convert it back to a previous version, Convert to Version 2007 of OneNote,
03:44version 2010 and 2013 are the same. So let's just click OK.
03:49We'll see a new Display name up here in the top left corner.
03:52When we click the dropdown, you'll it's displayed here as sample as well, and there's our color.
03:59So there's no real save option, we can move things around, change names for the display,
04:04for example, but typically when working with a notebook here in OneNote 2013, you're working
04:09with the folder made up of various sections, and any changes you make are saved on the fly.

Creating and deleting notebooks
00:00One of your very first tasks after installing and launching OneNote 2013 will be creating
00:06a notebook or perhaps multiple notebooks.
00:08Maybe you want to keep personal separate from business.
00:11Well, you can have multiple notebooks, you can have multiple notebooks open, switch between them.
00:17You can even pick and choose where those notebooks will be stored, will they be in the cloud
00:22using SkyDrive where you can access the notebook from mobile devices, for example,
00:27and share content with others? Or do you want to keep it local?
00:30Look at these options now as we create a brand-new notebook.
00:33We're still looking at a notebook from previous lessons, and that's fine.
00:36We don't need to close it up.
00:38We'll go to the FILE tab and go down to New and click there.
00:43Now you're going to notice something interesting in all of the Office apps, and that is SkyDrive
00:47usually appears at the top for creating, for sharing, for saving, even for opening.
00:56And that's because Microsoft is just kind of pushing us in the direction of cloud computing.
01:00With SkyDrive you get free space as part of your free Microsoft account.
01:05If you're already logged in like me, you'll see your name in the top right corner.
01:10And you will also see your name next to SkyDrive.
01:13And all you need to do if you want to share this with others or access it using mobile
01:17devices, click in the Notebook Name field and type in a name.
01:21When you click Create to create that notebook it goes to the default Documents folder on
01:26SkyDrive unless you choose a different folder using the link down below.
01:30Now if you're not interested in accessing it using mobile devices or sharing with others,
01:35you might want to stored locally on your computer. Click there and again you get a Notebook Name
01:39field, whatever you type in here, when you click Create Notebook it's going to go to
01:44a default folder, so let's check it out.
01:46Let's say with this one's going to be business notebook, and the name of our business is No Obstacles.
01:51We'll call it No Obstacles.
01:53Now if we click Create Notebook, it's going to go to the default folder which is the OneNote
01:59Notebooks folder that's created for you automatically under your Documents folder.
02:04So if you want to see that or change it, you can click the link down below Create in a different folder.
02:11And sure enough there it is OneNote Notebooks, under My Documents, there's the name of the
02:15notebook I'm about to create. If I want to choose a different location, including SkyDrive
02:20I can do that from the navigation pane on the left.
02:22In going to leave the default that OneNote Notebooks, remembering when we create a notebook
02:27for not creating a single file, but rather a subfolder that will be called No Obstacles
02:32containing our sections, our pages, and our content.
02:36Let's click create.
02:39So now we're looking at our new notebook. The display name, No Obstacles, is the same
02:43as the Notebook Name, and we know we can change that. There's one new section, and it's named
02:48automatically New Section 1, we can change that.
02:52Also over to the right you see there's one Untitled page, it's untitled until we typed
02:56whatever we're going to typing here for the title next to our flashing cursor.
03:01So let's say we're going to start with a Task List, we'll just type that in, Task List.
03:06All of our tasks go on this page, press Enter.
03:09And there is the name of your new page, just like that.
03:12Now if we want to switch back to that previous notebook, we can do that as well by clicking the dropdown.
03:18So if you still had your Notebook_Sample open like I did, it's on the list, and you click it.
03:23Want to switchback, click the dropdown.
03:27If you find this a little bit tedious, though, you can also enable the Notebook pane.
03:31And by clicking this little push pin, there's our Notebook pane on the left-hand side.
03:37And now we can switch quickly between our open notebooks.
03:39And we get up multiple notebooks listed here, including access to Quick Notes, which we'll
03:44talk about a little bit later.
03:46If you don't like the pane, just click the same pushpin. To unpin it, you may need to
03:51scroll over to see all of your content.
03:53All right, what about closing up a notebook? Maybe we don't need that notebook, and in fact we want to delete it.
03:59Now in that case, we do have to close it first, so we'll click the dropdown, and right-click
04:04the notebook we want to close, No Obstacles.
04:08After the right-click from the pop-up menu, you'll see Close This Notebook at the very bottom.
04:13So with the notebook closed we can now delete it, where is it?
04:16Now remember, it goes to the default folder under your Documents folder called OneNote Notebooks.
04:21We'll open up File Explorer, that's in Windows 8 or Windows Explorer in previous versions.
04:28We'll go to Documents, there is OneNote Notebooks right there, that was automatically created
04:33when we installed OneNote.
04:35And there is our No Obstacles folder. Double-clicking the folder reveals our No Obstacles folder or subfolder.
04:42And this is what we want to delete, the entire folder.
04:45So we can select it by clicking once and click Delete, or if you prefer, right-click and
04:50choose Delete from the pop-up menu, it's gone.
04:54So that's how we not only close up a notebook but delete it so we could start fresh.
05:00So keeping in mind when you create new notebooks you can have multiple notebooks open,
05:04but you also get to pick and choose where those notebooks will appear.
05:08Using the cloud will give you some advantages like access from your mobile devices
05:13and the ability to share with others who have Internet access as well.

Creating, moving, and deleting sections
00:00When we think about old-fashioned notebooks in the real world, paper notebooks, specifically
00:05larger notebooks where we want to stay organized, quite often you'll find information separated into Sections.
00:12In those Sections, there might even be sub-sections and then within those Sections pages and maybe
00:17even Subpages, well, not in a paper notebook, but we can do that here in OneNote.
00:22Let's explore Sections now using a notebook we've been working with here in Chapter 1
00:26called Notebook_Sample.
00:28You can open it up if you don't already have it open.
00:30And as you can see by the tabs across the top here, we already have a number of Sections.
00:35And we can change from one Section to another by clicking the tab.
00:39To add a new Section, we click the Plus sign that appears after the last tab.
00:44New Section 1 is the default name here just like we saw when creating a brand-new notebook.
00:49If we were to click on our page accidentally, that becomes the default name.
00:53But of course we can change the name of a Section by double-clicking.
00:58Let's call this Personal Tasks and Enter.
01:02All right, maybe we want to move that somewhere, we don't like it at the end.
01:07Maybe it should be at the beginning.
01:08Of course, we can move Sections around by clicking and dragging the tabs.
01:12As we move left, you can see that little arrow appearing in between Sections so we can release
01:17at any time to go right to the beginning before Meetings.
01:21That's where we want the arrow when we release our mouse button.
01:24Let's add a new tab but a different way this time.
01:27Let's right-click anywhere over these tabs or off to the right in this area.
01:32And you'll see New Section there.
01:34And also something called New Section Group, interesting.
01:38Let's go to New Section first, there is that default naming again, let's type in Business Tasks
01:44and Enter ,and maybe move next to Personal Tasks, click and drag.
01:52But I like that idea of a Section group made up of subsections. Maybe we should have one
01:56group called Tasks, with subsections for Personal and Business Tasks.
02:01Okay, we'll right-click, choose New Section Group, and type right over the text. We'll just call it Tasks and Enter.
02:10Now it's a matter of getting those Business and Personal Sections into our Section Group called Tasks.
02:16Of course, we're going to click and drag.
02:18We'll click and drag Business right over Tasks and let go.
02:22Notice now we're looking at Tasks under Notebook_Sample, and there's our new Section.
02:27Let's navigate back up now to the parent Section group by clicking the arrow and do the same
02:34with Personal, click-drag over Tasks.
02:37And if you hold it long enough, you'll be moved into that Section group where Personal Task
02:43now appears when we release the mouse.
02:46So that's a great way to stay organized. Let's go back up.
02:49And realize maybe we don't need that Section group at all, in fact we don't need any of its contents.
02:54We can delete a Section or Section group by simply right-clicking it.
02:59Let's do it with our Section group called Tasks.
03:02When we choose Delete we do see a warning that we're about to move the Sections in that group--
03:06not the entire group but the Sections in that group-- to the Recycle Bin, so we choose Yes.
03:12And of course because it's in the Recycle Bin, it means if we wanted to we could get those Sections back.
03:17How do we do that?
03:19Well, we can go to the HISTORY tab here on the ribbon and access our Notebook Recycle Bin.
03:26The dropdown arrow gives us some options for opening it up, emptying it, or disabling history.
03:32But we want to just click right at the top where we see anything that's been deleted
03:36in the way of pages--nothing so far--as well as a couple of Sections here, Business and Personal Tasks.
03:42So to get those back, we just need to drag them into the right notebook.
03:46Well, let's click our dropdown here, next to Notebook_Sample OneNote Recycle Bin and click the push pin.
03:53I like using the Notebook pane for this.
03:57Now if you're not seeing the Sections here under Notebook_Sample, you need to expand.
04:01This little arrow does both expand and collapse.
04:05And now we can drag right to the exact location where we want them, maybe Business Tasks should
04:09be first, drag it right in front of Meetings and let go, and Personal Tasks should appear after.
04:16Click and drag until see that line between Business and Meetings and let go, there we go.
04:23Let's navigate back up, and we're back into our notebook here called Notebook_Sample.
04:28We can disable the notebook pane by clicking the push pin.
04:32And there we go, we've got all of our Sections, we don't have a Section group any longer.
04:36But we were able to get our Sections back.
04:38All right, let's remove both of the Sections by right-clicking and choosing Delete.
04:43So we're going to see warning message for each one, clicking Yes for Business, right-click
04:49Personal, and Delete choose Yes for that one as well, and we're right back where we started.
04:56So that's working with Sections. Of course, within those Sections are going to be pages
05:01and Subpages, really all of this designed to help us stay organized.
05:05So in the next lesson, we'll get into pages.

Working with pages and subpages
00:00We learned in the previous movie how we can stay organized by creating Section Groups
00:05and Subsections, well, within those Sections we can also stay organized by creating multiple
00:09pages, and those Pages can also have Subpages and so on.
00:14So let's take a look at that now as we continue working with our Notebook_Sample from
00:18the Chapter 1 folder of your exercise files with this open and Meetings selected.
00:23In this section you'll notice all of the pages listed down the right-hand side.
00:27Now the main Pages are Monthly Manager Meetings, and on the same level not indented, in other
00:33words we see Staff Meetings.
00:36Under those we do see indents we do see for the years 2012 and 13, and November 2012,
00:41December 2012 under Staff Meetings.
00:44And then we see indented pages or Subpages for each of those months as well.
00:49So how do we get all that, what's the advantage?
00:51Well, one big advantage is confusion. If you have many, many pages and Subpages, one option is to Collapse.
00:58We go to Staff Meetings, for example, hover over and move to the right, there is a little Collapse button.
01:04So we can focus on Monthly Manager Meetings.
01:06We could do the same with that and then expand by clicking the arrow to focus on that section.
01:12Well, to create any page or Subpage, it's really quite simple.
01:17If we go to Travel, we see the same kind of set up here, but if we go to Business Cards,
01:22we've got three main Pages. We don't have any Subpages, not well-organized.
01:26If we you're going to be collecting business cards, it might be a better idea to create
01:31some Pages and Subpages. How we do that?
01:33Easiest way to create a Page is to a click Add Page.
01:36But that will automatically add it to the end of the section at the bottom here.
01:40Let's type in something like Friends and Enter.
01:44So now we have a Page where we can add a bunch of Business Cards for our friends.
01:49If we want to add a Page in a specific location, we can just hover over the Page, and you'll
01:54see little Plus sign off to the left.
01:57Let's say we wanted to one above Clients, when we moved to Clients, we have to move
02:00to the top part of Clients to see that Plus sign above and to the left of Clients, and when
02:06we click it we have our new Page, right at the top.
02:09Let's call this Business, when you press Enter, it's locked right in.
02:13now if wanted to add a Page and move it after, we can do that as well.
02:17If we click Add Page call this one Personal, when we press Enter it's at the end of the
02:22section, but we can click and drag it, let's say above Friends but after Support, there we go.
02:29Now all of these are still main Pages. We don't have any Subpages.
02:32We can create those on the fly or take existing Pages and turn them into Subpages like Clients, for example.
02:38If we right-click it, notice that one option is to make it a Subpage, it automatically
02:44becomes a Subpage of the Page above, which is Business.
02:47Another option is to click and drag, click and drag Colleagues off to the right, and
02:52it becomes a Subpage also of Business.
02:55Let's do that with Support, but if we go too far, it becomes a Subpage of Colleagues, not what we want.
03:02So we can click and drag it back or if you prefer right-click.
03:07And notice that we have Promote Subpage as an option now.
03:11All right, so Friends really should be a Subpage of Personal, let's click and drag it over.
03:17And let's create another Subpage here, let's click the Plus sign here above Friends, and with
03:23Friends selected, because we're clicking the Plus sign, it becomes a Subpage automatically under Personal.
03:29Let's type in Golf Group and Enter, and let's click the Plus sign one more time,
03:36maybe this one's our Book club and Enter.
03:39So here we have Pages and Subpages, and it's just a matter now of getting information onto
03:45those Pages, that's what we'll talk about next.

Creating a note on a page
00:00Having a Notebook with section groups and subsections, pages and Subpages is great.
00:06But it's really not of much use if you can't get content in there, and we're ready to start talking about that.
00:13We'll begin with something basic, and that's adding a Note to a page.
00:17We will use our Notebook_Sample from the Chapter 1 folder of your exercise files, and we'll go
00:21to the Meeting Section if you need to by clicking that tab.
00:24We have a number of pages like our Monthly Manager Meetings page. If it's selected, you'll
00:28see there's already a Note over here. As we hover over that Note, you'll notice something
00:32appears around the outside, placeholder.
00:36And as we move down the different lines, you can see something happening over here.
00:41So there are some options once we add a Note, how do we do that?
00:44Well, let's go down to Staff Meetings here. Let's say we're in the December 5, 2012,
00:50Staff Meeting now, we'll click there to add some Notes.
00:52All we have to do is click where we want to type and type away.
00:56That's over here on the right at the top, when we click.
00:59The cursor is flashing there waiting for us to type.
01:01Go over to the left, click there, you're ready to type.
01:05It's as if we have the whole page.
01:06But watch what happens when you start typing. Let's say the first topic is Revenues.
01:11We'll type that in and right away you can see that placeholder appear almost like a
01:15text box, and you're automatically going to see it size itself as you type.
01:20So let's hit Enter a couple of times and add a dash and a space.
01:25Automatically OneNote is creating a bulleted list for us, interesting.
01:28Okay, let's type in Revenues down this week by 7%.
01:36Notice the box stretching to fit our content presenter, we're still in the list.
01:40All right, let's type in something else, like, Foreign currency hurting bottom dollar.
01:49These are just notes we're taking during the meeting, and as we hit Enter, we're still
01:54into our list, so hitting Enter again takes us off to the right.
01:57Where we can continue working on this Note.
02:00Maybe you want to side Note now, we just click off to the right, and we're onto our next Note.
02:04Let's say we want to talk about Staffing, hit Enter, same thing happens, now we have
02:09a new box that's being created here, if you want to create that bulleted list, hit your dash and a Space,
02:14and it will create it for you.
02:17Need to hire two more in sales, press Enter, still in our bulleted list.
02:25Matt to be off for 1 month on sick leave. Again, the box stretches to fit our content.
02:36And now we have a couple of different boxes or placeholders with text.
02:40So as we move inside them that means we can do things like move up to the bar at the top,
02:44and you'll see the four-sided arrow.
02:45So we can click and drag that down if we wanted it, maybe under Revenues.
02:50We can stretch it out or squeeze it in if we wanted to, things will wrap around as needed.
02:54We want them both to be about the same size, we can do that, so lots of different options
03:00when working with Notes, and of course there's a lot of other types of content that can be
03:04added to the pages in your OneNote Notebooks.
03:07Those are the basics; however, it's time to move on to more complex things.

2. Creating and Adding Content
Sending content to OneNote
00:00When it comes to getting content into your OneNote Notebooks, we know we can just simply
00:04type away, but what if you already have the content?
00:07Well, if it resides in one of the other Office Programs like Word, Excel, PowerPoint,
00:12for example, there is an option to send it to OneNote, and that's what we're going to look at right now.
00:17So, we are going to use this Notebook called No Obstacles1, and you'll notice so we have a Bio section.
00:23When you click that tab, there is really nothing there, just the main page.
00:27Now let's switch over to Microsoft Word, now if you need to launch Word, you can pause
00:32right now, launch Word and open up this file from the Chapter 2 folder of your
00:36exercise files called No Obstacles Bio.
00:38It happens to be a one-page document, and this is exactly what we want.
00:42We want have to retype it. We don't even want to have to copy and paste it.
00:46All we need to do is send it to OneNote by going to the File tab, and going through the motions of printing,
00:53when we click Print, you might see your default printer here on this list, but you'll also
00:58see an option Send to OneNote, and that's what we are going to select from the dropdown.
01:03When we Send To OneNote, we get to choose exactly where it's going to go as well, there
01:07is a default location, as you'll see momentarily right after we click Print.
01:13So, going to act as though it's printing the page, what you might see now is your OneNote
01:18icon flashing way down below on the taskbar, we'll give it a click, and there is a dialog
01:24box that appears now with the default location, which is Quick Notes.
01:29So, anything you send from other programs as well might automatically go into Quick Notes,
01:34where you can deal with them.
01:36It's automatically linked to SkyDrive, so you have access to your Quick Notes from any
01:40Notebook, from any location.
01:41So, having them there in the Quick Notes section, you can quickly and easily grab information
01:47that you want from there and place it into the Notebook, into the section, right on the page that you want.
01:53So, you'll see Recent picks, but you'll also see Quick Notes down below.
01:57You will also see any open Notebooks you have.
02:00If you need to, you can expand these by clicking the Plus signs, and if we want to go right
02:05to the Bio section, we can select it from here.
02:09Now typically when you go to a specific section in a Notebook, you won't go down below and
02:13click the check box next to Always send printouts to the selected location, it is customizable
02:19later, but you will be sending everything by default to that section of that particular
02:24Notebook if you click this check box.
02:26Typically, if you're going to click this check box, you're going to select Quick Notes.
02:31But we do want to go directly to our Bio section, and if we expand that directly to the No Obstacles
02:36Bio page, so we will click that and click OK.
02:40So, no copying and pasting, all we have to do is send it directly from Word to OneNote,
02:46checkout the page now, it's re-titled No Obstacles Bio, and we have all the content exactly
02:51the way it appeared in Microsoft Word.
02:54So, when you do things like screen clippings and adding things from other programs that
03:00are not in the Office Suite to OneNote, typically you're going to send it to your Quick Notes
03:05section and then deal with those content later on.
03:10But for now, as you can see, sending to OneNote from one of the Office Apps is a very fast
03:14and easy way to get content into your OneNote Notebooks.
Collapse this transcript
Copying and pasting content
00:00On occasion you'll find content you want to move over into a OneNote Notebook, that content
00:05is perhaps in a format or in a program that does not allow you to send it directly
00:10to OneNote, like we did in the previous movie using Microsoft Word.
00:13In most cases you'll need to use the old- fashioned method of copy and paste, that's exactly what
00:18we're going to do as we continue to work with our No Obstacles Notebook.
00:22Now if you have been following along, you can continue to work in No Obstacles1.
00:24If you've jumped to this lesson, want to get caught up, go to the Chapter 2 folder and open up No Obstacles2.
00:31On the Bio section here where we just recently added the No Obstacles Bio page directly from Word.
00:38Now we are about to grab some content from a PDF file, and in that case we don't have
00:43the option to send directly to OneNote, at least not here on Windows 8, as you'll soon find out.
00:48So, we're going to use copy and paste, and what I like to do is create space for it ahead
00:53of time--you don't have to, I just like to.
00:55So, I am going to add a page here by clicking Add Page, and all I am going to do is call it Executive Team.
01:05That's the content I want to grab from that file.
01:08I press Enter and look at all the space I have now for pasting.
01:12Let's switch over to that file called No Obstacles Bio.pdf, now if you open it up from the Chapter 2
01:18folder of your exercise files, and you are in Windows 8 like me, you are going to open it up in Reader.
01:25And if you're in Window 7, it's probably Adobe Reader.
01:27Regardless, we are going to scroll down through the pages until we get to the Executive Team,
01:32I see it here on Page 4 of 6.
01:35All I want to do is click and drag from Executive Team down to the end of the paragraph 4, Juan Ricardo, there we go.
01:46Now if I needed to keep going, as you can see it does continue going onto the next page, I can do that.
01:51I'll just click and drag a little bit further, so you are not limited to a single page.
01:58That's what I want copied, the easiest way to copy is right-click and choose Copy from the pop-up.
02:03Now we'll switch over to OneNote and for the Executive Team, we are already flashing away
02:09on an empty page ready to paste.
02:11When you go to the Home tab on the ribbon and click, it expands the ribbon, and you'll
02:16see a paste button, and the default when you click the paste button and not the paste
02:20dropdown arrow down below is to simply paste it the way it appears in that other program.
02:26That's this first option, but you can also choose to take on the formatting of the Current
02:31Document or Notebook in this case, or just grab Text Only.
02:35So, let's go with the default, the very first option and see what it looks like.
02:40As we can see, we don't get all the formatting from a PDF file. We do have the content we want,
02:44plus some extra content, and that's why it's not the ideal method for getting content into OneNote.
02:52If you can go to the Print option and choose Send to OneNote, it's always a better option,
02:57if you want to maintain formatting.
02:59So, in this case, we do have a little bit of content here that was part of the footer
03:03that we need to select by clicking and dragging right over it, pressing delete.
03:09We want to take out the extra space. You can use your Backspace key on the keyboard.
03:15And then you might want to insert some spaces for each of the Executive Team members.
03:20You can press Enter, I am going to click before Mark here and press Enter, same thing for Akee,
03:26and the same thing for Juan.
03:30And you can see a little bit of formatting is required, no matter what we choose from
03:35the paste option because we came from that PDF file.
03:38So that's another way to get content, as you can see it's not as easy as simply sending
03:43it to OneNote, but it is an option, if you need to grab content from a program or a file
03:48format that does not allow you to send directly to OneNote.

Sending screen clippings to OneNote
00:00Another way to send content to your OneNote Notebooks is to capture screen clippings,
00:05and there is a couple ways to do that, the old-fashioned copy and paste method.
00:10But there is also a little program that runs alongside OneNote called Send To OneNote that
00:15we are going to look at now.
00:16So, we are continuing to work with our No Obstacles Notebook, if you have been following
00:21along, you can continue to work in the Notebook you're using.
00:24If you've jumped to this lesson, want to get caught up, open up No Obstacles3 from the
00:28Chapter 2 folder of your exercise files.
00:30We are at the Bio tab here, and we're looking at our Executive Team.
00:34Now we want to grab some contents, and it happens to be in a website.
00:37So, we are going to add a section by clicking the Plus sign after Bio, and we'll just type in Contacts and Enter.
00:47Now we have one untitled page, and if we want, we can add a title here, let's do that,
00:56No Obstacles Contacts and Enter, and now we are ready to grab that screen I was talking about,
01:04happens to be in a website.
01:05So, if we flip over to Internet Explorer or whatever browser you're using and go to the
01:11following site, you can see here we have a blog, noobstaclesclothing.com, and I'm looking
01:17at the Contact screen.
01:20Now if I wanted to I could send this whole thing off to OneNote. What runs automatically
01:25alongside OneNote when you launch it is this little guy called Send To OneNote.
01:29And if we click it, you'll see the options Screen Clipping, they are sent to OneNote,
01:34and it could be an entire screen, it could be from another program like Microsoft Word
01:38just another way to send content, or we can just create a new Quick Note right from here.
01:43So, in this case we don't want to send the entire page, but rather a part of the page,
01:49so we are going to choose Screen Clipping, and this allows us to select the section that
01:54we want to copy, which is just the Contact Info.
01:56So, we'll click and drag across it, when we release, we now get to choose where it's going to go.
02:03And again, we could create a default location like Quick Notes by clicking the check box
02:08next to Don't ask me again to always do the following.
02:11We can Copy it to the Clipboard and paste it or we can Send it Directly to a Location
02:16we choose, that's what we're going to do right now, going to our No Obstacles Notebook,
02:20we have our Contact section already, we can click the Plus sign, and there's the page we just created
02:25called No Obstacles Contacts.
02:26So, with that selected, we can click Send to Selected Location and off it goes. Want to see?
02:33Well, we'll flip back to OneNote now, and there it is right on the page where we
02:38left off, and it looks just like it did on the website, so it's a great way to capture a part of the screen.
02:45Now if you don't happen to see Send To OneNote running alongside OneNote 2013, you can always run it.
02:53I'm in Windows 8, so I am just going to go to the top right or bottom right corner and
02:57click the Search icon, you can also do a search in Windows 7 for programs just type in
03:03send to, and you'll see the Send To OneNote 2013 program if you need to run it.
03:08I already have mine running, and when you run this you also have the ability to make
03:14sure it always runs when you launch OneNote.
03:16We will just flip back to OneNote now and go down to the Send To OneNote icon where
03:21you'll see at the very bottom, Start with OneNote should be checked off.
03:24If it is something you want to use, and you always wanted available to you just click
03:29that check box and also know here in Windows 8 there is a keyboard shortcut,
03:33that is the Windows key+N to create a new Send To OneNote item.
03:39So, we'll just click here in the background on our page and continue from here.

Adding pictures
00:00When you need to insert imagery into your Notebooks here in OneNote 2013,
00:05there are number of different options.
00:06We are going to explore those now and actually try one of them.
00:09Now let's say we want to insert some company logos.
00:13Well, first we will create a section for that by clicking the Plus sign next to Contacts,
00:17and all we will do is type in logos and press Enter.
00:22So, of course, we have our one untitled page with cursor flashing waiting for us to title it.
00:27Let's just type in Company Logos for now, and we will just click down below, and here's
00:33where we want to insert those logos.
00:36Down the road we may need additional pages to stay organized, Subpages, who knows?
00:41But for now, this is good.
00:43Now to insert our images we have a number of different options from the Insert tab.
00:49When we click it, it expands our ribbon and displays an Images section.
00:54So, the first option is Screen Clipping, something we just did in the previous movie, it's accessible
00:59from here as well, exact same feature we looked at.
01:03We can also browse for Pictures, which could be on a computer, it could be on a network, or a device connected.
01:10Online Pictures, we'll take a look at that momentarily, even Scanned Images if you have
01:14your printer connected with a scanner, you can scan directly into your Notebook,
01:19maybe even you have a camera attached, you can grab photos from the camera using this option as well.
01:26Let's go back to Online Pictures, give that a click, opens up a separate window where
01:30you'll see some services you're connected to, and your services may differ from mine.
01:35I only have a couple, Office.com, and my Bing Image Search.
01:39So, if I was looking for Clip Art, for example, at Office.com, I type in a keyword, and it's
01:45going to find it for me, and I can grab it from there, same thing for the Bing Image Search,
01:49which is really going to the Internet.
01:52Let's close this up, though, because I do have one for you, if we go back to the Insert tab
01:57and select Pictures, we can now start browsing through our computer, networks, any devices
02:03that are connected, including SkyDrive if we wanted to.
02:07We are going go directly to the Chapter 2 folder of your exercise files, I have a file here
02:11called NOH_logo, and as we hover over it, you'll see that the type is PNG file, this
02:18is our No Obstacles Home logo.
02:20The format is PNG, and it's showing up on our list because all Pictures is selected
02:25by default here next to file name.
02:27If we click this dropdown, take a look at all the formats for image files that can be used here in OneNote.
02:33There is Meta files, there is JPEGs, there's PNG, or Portable Network Graphics,
02:39there's Bitmaps, Enhanced Metafiles, Picked Files, TIFs.
02:44You can see them all here listed, including that old WordPerfect Graphics Format.
02:49Well, with All Files selected, we will see all types of files, with all Pictures selected,
02:56we will only see all the Picture files in this folder.
02:59And that's the one we want, NOH_logo, so we select it and click Insert.
03:04Now it's going to be inserted right where our cursor was flashing, inside a frame.
03:10Now this is a frame that can be expanded. Notice it doesn't affect the size of our logo, but
03:15we can click the logo inside, and it, too, has its own frame, and it has sizing handles
03:20all the way around the outside. So, if we want to make it bigger, we could.
03:23If we want to make it smaller, we could just by dragging one of those handles.
03:29Now the frame itself can be adjusted to fit, and if we were to adjust the frame itself,
03:35let's drag in even further in, you can see what happens, it starts to squeeze our image
03:39that will make sure you're on the frame and not on the handle.
03:43So, it's always going to fit inside the frame, and that frame of course can be moved around.
03:48So, we'll click on the edge, drag it around if we wanted to, rearrange our logos, I like
03:55to make this a little bit smaller, so I am going to click back inside and go to one of
03:59the handles this time, let me make this a little bit smaller and then just click off into an empty space.
04:06So, that's how we get images into our Notebooks here in OneNote 2013.

Adding audio and video files
00:00One of the great advantages to using a Digital Notebook in OneNote 2013 as apposed to your
00:05traditional paper notebooks, you get to add different types of files that you could never
00:09add to paper, like audio and video files.
00:12That's what we are going to do right now using our No Obstacles Notebook that we have been using.
00:16If you've been following along, click the User Conference section and here's where we will begin.
00:22Let's say we want to collect some Media files that could be used during our User Conference,
00:26some audio files maybe for PowerPoint Presentations we are creating, maybe for the opening day, for example.
00:34Let's go to the Add Page link up here in the top right-hand side, give it a click.
00:39So, we can have a separate page for our Media files, let's call it Media files, we'll just
00:44type that in, press Enter, and we are ready to start adding those files.
00:48We can organize them later, right now we have a nice holding place.
00:53We go to the Insert tab, that's where we go to we actually start adding our audio and
00:57video files, but from here you won't find audio or video files.
01:01You will see Record Audio and Video, something we will do in the next movie,
01:06but there's no special option here for inserting them.
01:09We treat them like any other file, we go to File Attachment, and from here we just navigate
01:15to the location, which happens to be the Chapter 2 folder of your exercise files, and we will
01:19begin with the audio file that appears down here No Obstacles_theme_music, it's an MP3 file,
01:25one that will work here in OneNote.
01:27So will WAV files and other formats. Once we get them in, they might work differently,
01:33but let's see what happens with our audio file here, No Obstacles_theme_music, we will
01:37give it a click and click the Insert.
01:40Next, we choose Attach File, would never be a printout of an audio file, and depending
01:46on your operating system and setup, you might not even get this dialog box and your audio
01:51will be inserted directly.
01:53And there it is sitting there right on our blank page, as we hover over it, we get that
01:57additional info, and if we want to play it back, check this out, click once, and you
02:03get these Quick Control showing up. There's your Play button right there.
02:07Keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+Alt+P, and you also have a new tab showing up on the ribbon under
02:13AUDIO & VIDEO, PLAYBACK, click that, and you'll get those controls and some other options as well.
02:19Let's just click Play. (music playing)
02:28All right, we'll click Stop. That's the file we were looking for, we now have it in our Notebook, and we
02:32can even play it back right here inside our Notebook, if we need to review, perfect.
02:37All right, so we'll just click on the page, click again, so nothing is selected, and we'll move on
02:43to inserting some Video file.
02:46Again we go to the Insert tab, choose File Attachment, but this time we're going to be
02:52inserting a video file, we have two of them.
02:54They are both RideBy files, the same file, one is the Mac version--well, at least it's
03:00in MOV format that's popular on the Mac--the other a format that's popular in Windows, WMV.
03:08Let's start with the Mac version.
03:11We'll select it once, click Insert and Attach File just like we did with our Audio file.
03:18Again, depending on your setup, the video file may be inserted directly without this prompt.
03:23So, we have it here sitting there, and as we hover over that icon we can read additional information.
03:28I am wondering if we click the icon if we will get to play it.
03:31Well, no, actually, when we click this type of format, there are no Quick Control buttons,
03:38if we go to the Playback tab and try to hit Play, we are actually going to be playing our audio file.
03:43(music playing)
03:45That's the only one that will work here on the page, at least right now.
03:50So, with an MOV file, if we want to view the contents, we could double-click it, and it
03:55will launch the default program, a separate program from OneNote.
03:59Such as your video player here in Windows 8 or Windows Media Player, whatever it is
04:03that you use as a default player for this type of file.
04:07I don't like that, I am going to click, hit Delete on my keyboard to remove this, and
04:13we're going to add the other format by going back to the Insert tab, choose File Attachment
04:20and RideBy_Win, with that selected and clicking Insert, same thing we need to choose
04:26Attach File, if you get this dialog box.
04:30We have our icon, we can hover over, there is the Additional Info, click once, this time we do get our controls.
04:36So, if we press Stop to stop playback of the Audio file and click Play, we should be looking
04:44at our Movie file, and it will open up in a separate window on top of our page here,
04:50but we don't have to leave OneNote to do it.
04:53And then we will just close up the window when we are done viewing the actual video file, that's it.
05:06So, we have actually attached both audio and video to a page here in our OneNote Notebook.
05:15Now these are just little files that are attached, they can be deleted as we did with the previous version of our RideBy.
05:21And they can be left in here, of course, they do increase the size of your Notebook, something
05:26to consider when attaching these types of files, but almost any format can be attached.
05:31How you play them back might differ depending on the format.
05:34So, that's attaching files, what about recording your own audio and video?
05:39We'll do that next.

Recording audio and video
00:00I'd like you to imagine for a moment you're sitting in a big conference hall, there's
00:05going to be a guest speaker delivering some important information, at least important
00:09to you, and you want make sure you get every nuance.
00:12So you pull out your pad, and you start writing down notes as that person speaks.
00:17Some people might even pull out a recording device and record audio, or with a camera,
00:23record video and audio, still they need to pull out that paper notepad and keep notes.
00:28Well, if we have OneNote 2013, you can do it all in one place, that's what we're going to look at right now.
00:35Let's say we're going to be attending a meeting, we'll click on Meetings tab, maybe it's
00:39a launch meeting for the User Conference, so we'll add a page for that.
00:42We'll click Add Page over here on the right, and type in User Conference Launch Meeting and press Enter.
00:52All right, so we have a guest speaker who is going to get us going on this User Conference, a big project.
00:59We want to take notes, things that'll be important for us to remember, we can do that simply typing in our notes.
01:05But the other thing we can do is record either audio or both audio and video depending on
01:10our setup, go to the Insert tab and over here in Recording you can see Record Audio and Record Video.
01:18Now if you are using a device like a laptop, let's say at this meeting, and it has a built-in
01:22camera, maybe you're using a tablet. You can choose Record Video and away you go.
01:28Now, if you're like me, I don't have anything attached, no camera available at this point.
01:33So, I can't choose that, I can click OK and go back and maybe try Audio.
01:39Either way, when I go to the Insert tab, the Audio or Video, when I click this, and I am
01:45set up with a microphone obviously, I am speaking to you, it will automatically start recording.
01:51Now just keep in mind that I'm recording for you and not really for OneNote.
01:57So, when you try this on your own, it'll actually work, it's not going to work properly for me in this scenario.
02:03And when we click it, away we go, you can see we are Recording, we have our User Conference
02:08icon here, and our cursor flashing. What's really cool is you can start taking notes
02:13as you're listening to your speaker.
02:16Maybe he's mentioning something about over 2,000 users in 2012, and maybe expecting to double that for 2013.
02:28As you're taking these notes, they are time coded so they know exactly when during the
02:33audio recording that they happen, a little markers will move down through them as you
02:39play this back later on.
02:41We will type The end, and to stop recording, we just go back to that tab and click Stop.
02:47Now for you, you can play this back.
02:50You can just click off to the side here to close up your ribbon, and as you hover over
02:56the icon for the User Conference Launch Meeting, you see the format is WMA, Windows Media Audio file, has been created.
03:05Here's that little marker I was talking about over here on the left.
03:09So, when we actually play this thing, you'll see that marker move down through your notes
03:14at the exact time you took them during the recording, it's kind of cool.
03:19So, you have your audio and your notes all together in one place here in your OneNote Notebook.
03:25Same thing works for your video files if you're using a camera.

Embedding Excel spreadsheets
00:00Now we already know by going to the Insert tab here in a Notebook in OneNote 2013,
00:05we can embed or attach any kind of file, including audio and video.
00:10But the other thing we can do is embed an Excel Spreadsheet. It's a little bit different
00:14from other files in that we can have full access to the power of Excel right from within OneNote.
00:20Let's see what I'm talking about as we continue working with our No Obstacles Notebook.
00:24We are going to go to the User Conference section or tab by clicking it.
00:29Let's add a page now, and we will type in Attendance Tracking for the name of this page,
00:37maybe we already have a spreadsheet that's tracking people as they sign up for our User Conference.
00:43Well, what we could do is have quick access to that data by inserting the spreadsheet
00:48right here on our page.
00:50We'll go to the Insert tab, and you'll notice that spreadsheet has its own icon,
00:56and it is a dropdown, when we click it, there are two choices.
00:59If you don't have a spreadsheet already, you can create a new Excel spreadsheet.
01:03What's the advantage?
01:04Well, as opposed to a table, which we can also do, and we'll talk about that later on,
01:09by inserting a spreadsheet, you have the full power and functionality of Excel 2013 right
01:15at your fingertips from within OneNote.
01:18Let's choose Existing Excel Spreadsheet, because we are going to go to the Chapter 2 folder
01:22of the exercise files where you will find one called UC 13 Sign-up Report.
01:26So, we have already been tracking this information, we might as well pop it into our Notebook
01:31so we have quick and easy access to it.
01:33Select it by clicking, click Insert, and then we get to choose whether we are going to attach it.
01:39So there appears an icon on our page, and we can double-click it to launch Excel,
01:44et cetera, just like any other file, or do we want to insert the spreadsheet itself, that's what we want to do.
01:50If we had charts or tables, we can do that too.
01:53When we choose Insert spreadsheet, the spreadsheet appears on our page just as it does in Excel.
01:59So, we can see the current figures.
02:01Notice we don't have any for 116, but if we want to edit this, we can do that right from here.
02:09You'll notice in the top left corner we have an Edit icon, and when we click that, we will
02:14be able to go in and edit using Excel functionality.
02:17So, we get this little pop-up window, we're actually using Microsoft Excel now,
02:23and as we scroll down, start adding figures, let's do that.
02:27Let's just add tens across the board here, 10, Tab, 10, Tab, and 10 as well for the By Phone section.
02:37And when we hit Tab, you can see the Totals are updating. There, we're over 1,000 attendees now.
02:43If we just go to close this, we will be prompted to save it on the fly, so we'll click Save
02:48to save our changes, and now as we scroll down into our Notebook here on our page,
02:55you'll notice it's updated automatically. We get a live preview of what's going on.
02:59We have our new figures, and here's the cool thing, if someone's working on that spreadsheet
03:03in Excel, maybe separately outside of OneNote, those figures will be updated here as well.
03:10You might not see the results right away, but each time OneNote syncs, any changes will be revealed.
03:15So, really it doesn't matter if you're doing it from within OneNote, or directly in Excel,
03:20those figures will always be up to date, because we've embedded the spreadsheet right here
03:25in our Notebook in OneNote 2013.

Adding files
00:00Sometimes in a Notebook here in OneNote 2013, there's content that doesn't necessarily need
00:05to be displayed but you do want to have quick and easy access to it if you refer
00:10to that content, let's say on a regular basis.
00:12Well, to do that we simply attach the file, and we've done some attaching already,
00:17now we are just going to look at a standard file type, a Word document.
00:21And to do that, we are going to create a new section in our No Obstacles Notebook here.
00:26So, if you have been following along, you are ready to go, if you've jumped to this
00:29lesson, you need to get caught up, go to the Chapter 2 folder and open up No Obstacles8.
00:34Off to the right of the Plus sign here, we have some empty space where we can right-click
00:38and choose New Section Group. Because we have a lot of sections, now it's starting to look
00:43a little bit crowded at the top, we might consider organizing some of these sections into groups.
00:49Well, the New Section Group that we are going to create is for marketing materials.
00:52So, let's type in Marketing and press Enter, and before we go there to create our New Sections,
00:59and add our content, there are some sections here that belong under Marketing.
01:03Such as Logos, for example, let's drag that over Marketing, same thing for Bio, just find
01:10the tab, drag it over Marketing.
01:12If you hold it long enough, you will actually move it into that particular Section Group,
01:18and now we are looking at our Logos section inside our Marketing Group that appears over
01:23here under the name of our Notebook.
01:26All right, we are ready to create a new section, just click the Plus, and this one is going to be Copy,
01:31I will type in Copy, press Enter.
01:34And the first page here, cursor is flashing away, waiting for us to type in a title, let's do Brochures and Enter.
01:45Okay, so below we don't necessarily need to display the contents of any Brochures we are going
01:50to add, but it would be nice to have quick and easy access to them, so we go to the Insert tab,
01:54that expands our ribbon, and we are going to attach a file, select just File Attachment.
02:01If we wanted to see the Brochure, the content would be a file printout.
02:05We want File Attachment and in the Chapter 2 folder of your exercise files there is a
02:11No Obstacles Marketing Brochure there, we will select it, and click Insert.
02:18Now you do get the option, again, to choose whether or not it's going to be attached,
02:22or a printout of the file is going to appear, we want to attach it.
02:26And it just appears with the word Logo, and as we hover over that, you can see we get
02:30some added information, Path, the date, the time it was created, the size of the file, et cetera.
02:38Now we can have as many attachments sitting here as we like.
02:41When we want to go to that document, all we need is to go inside there and double-click.
02:48Now you'll see this little warning that can be closed.
02:51Opening attachments can harm your computer, so you want to be sure where you got this document from.
02:55If it's a trusted source, no problem, you click OK.
02:59And if you're only going to add trusted sources, then you can click the check box next to Don't Show Me Again.
03:05I am going to leave it unchecked and click OK.
03:08You can see what it does, it actually launches Word and takes this directly to that file,
03:14so we can work on the file.
03:16When we are done we close up Word, and we are back to OneNote, and there's our attachment.
03:24Anytime we need it, we have quick and easy access to it, because we've attached the file
03:29to our Brochures page here in our Copy Section.
03:33Let's navigate back up now to our main level of our No Obstacles8 Notebook.
03:38What we are looking at now is the reduced number of sections and a section group called
03:44Marketing that contains the file attachment.

Adding math equations and symbols
00:00As we continue on the topic of inserting things into your OneNote notebooks, there's something
00:05here that not everybody uses all the time, but it's good to know that it exists.
00:09And that is the ability to write math equations and to insert other types of symbols as well.
00:15We're going to that as we continue working with our No Obstacles notebook.
00:18We are actually going to jump to our Quick Notes to play around for a bit.
00:22So let's click the dropdown for our No Obstacles notebook and select Quick Notes.
00:28Now if you see what I see and that is an empty section or if you see the default help
00:32pages provided by one note, you may need to add a page.
00:37And let's just call this Holding.
00:40We might hold a number of things here, including what we're about to insert a math equation.
00:46Click the Insert tab, and way off to the very far right, you'll see Symbols as a section,
00:51including Equation and Symbol, click the dropdown for Equation, and you'll see a number of presets.
00:57So you can get a nice head start by using the area of a circle, for example, there is Pi R squared,
01:03and as we go down the list if you see something that's close to what you're ready
01:07to create you simply select it, and it's inserted.
01:11Now it's just a matter of going in here and making changes editing as you see fit.
01:17If you want to start from scratch, though, you just click down below that go back to
01:21Insert, click the dropdown for Equation, and go further down and choose Insert New Equation.
01:28And all you have to do now is start typing the new equation.
01:32So if you wanted to you could start adding brackets, (1 + x), and you can see what's
01:40happening here, everything is highlighted or shaded, it's still an equation, and that
01:46means we may need to get access to some of the symbols.
01:49Well, in that case we'll go back to the Insert tab and choose Symbol this time, clicking
01:56the dropdown, you'll see some recently used symbols if you've been using them, and this
02:00goes for the other programs in the Office Suite as well, or you can go directly to More
02:06Symbols, and it's from here where you can click the dropdown next to font to see the
02:11different font sets, some of these are just different languages, some of them are different styles.
02:16As we go all the way down towards the bottom, we get into things like Wingdings
02:22where you're going to see real symbols and not just characters.
02:27So if there was something that you wanted to use on this list just a simple matter of
02:31selecting it, let's choose an arrow, click Insert, and you have your symbol.
02:38Now this happens to be inside our equation and notice that we can continue to insert
02:43additional symbols, it stays open, or we could simply go over here, click inside to continue
02:49with our equation equals, leave a space to 2X and so on.
02:54All right, let's just click off to the side here outside of our equation, we'll go to
02:59the right side and take a look at some of the other symbols that might come in handy.
03:05For example, if we click the dropdown for the font set, go all the way back up to the
03:09top and select normal text, you're going to see exactly that some common symbols we see
03:14on the keyboard, including characters, and as we scroll little further down we get into
03:20some the characters you won't find on the keyboard.
03:22There you can see some fractions. They come in handy perhaps when writing equations.
03:28How about the copyright symbol or some of my recently used? You can see registered trademark
03:33and trademark symbols, those could be useful.
03:37All right, let's go back to our dropdown here for Quick Notes and go back to our No Obstacles notebook.
03:43And next we'll go to Logos, so if you need to you can go to the marketing group, and
03:48we'll just double-click next to No Obstacles here, so your cursor is flashing, double-clicking
03:54allows you to simply type wherever.
03:57All right, I think that's good spot for our trademark symbol.
04:01Now you could scroll down this list at normal text, you will eventually find it,
04:06but once you do find it and use it, it's nice that we have this recently used list of symbols,
04:10so we can go back to it.
04:11There's the character code as well if you wanted to find it that way, you could type
04:15it right in, click Insert, and there's our TM or Trademark symbol, we'll close this up.
04:22I'll just click off to the side here to see what that looks like.
04:26Now we trademarked our logo here in the company logo section.
04:31So that's how easy it is to insert both equations and symbols as needed in OneNote 2013.

3. Formatting Notes
Formatting text
00:00Well, as you continue to work with your OneNote Notebooks here in OneNote 2013 adding your
00:04own content, maybe grabbing content from other sources, if you want to keep a clean and consistent
00:10look and feel, you'll need to know how to do a little formatting, and that's what we're
00:14going to do in this Chapter beginning with some basic formatting, using this No Obstacles Home Notebook.
00:19Now when you open it up you can see there's actually couple of section groups, Business and Personal.
00:23We're going to click the Personal group, and from here you can see there's only
00:28one sub-section called Recipes so far, and we have a number of different pages, one for each recipe.
00:33The first one here is Asparagus, and you can see there's already some formatting.
00:37This came from another source, came with its own formatting, but we can change all of that
00:42of course here using Formatting Tools.
00:44You might already be comfortable with using other programs like Microsoft Office Word, for example.
00:51Let's go to the heading here Cooking with Asparagus, click and drag across it, and when
00:55you release the mouse, look what happens. We get this mini toolbar, something that pops
00:59up in the other programs in the Office Suite as well.
01:02So if you're already comfortable and familiar with it, you know, you can do things like
01:07take that bolding off, there it is right there, give it a click, it's no longer bolded.
01:12We also know the current font being used here is Verdana, and it's at 16 points, so we can
01:18change that as well, it's still selected or highlighted back there, so let's change the font to Arial Black.
01:25Here's your alphabetical list, and you can see each of the font names uses the font itself,
01:30so you get a nice little preview of what you're about to select, we're going to go to
01:34Arial Black, a nice thick one, but we don't need to use bolding, beautiful.
01:38We want to change the Size, we have a dropdown there as well, lots to choose from, and
01:44I'll bump this up to 18, looks good!
01:48Other things we can do, there's bold, italics and underlining, we can also use those keyboard
01:53shortcuts, everything is still selected, so Ctrl+U for underline, Ctrl+I for italics and
01:58Ctrl+B they still work. We can also highlight this text if we wanted it to stand out, wouldn't
02:04do that with our heading, but maybe in the paragraph below there is something that needs
02:07to be highlighted, we'll get there momentarily.
02:10Also, we can change the Font Color, and I think we should do that with our headings here.
02:14Let's click the dropdown and go to one of the theme colors.
02:18This will be important if we decide to change maybe one other styles later on in this chapter.
02:23Because we're using Theme Colors, the Theme Color is applied according to the style, if
02:29we change the style, it's also going to change.
02:31So it's a nice way to keep a consistent look and feel and be assured that if we do make
02:37changes to our themes or our styles, that anything using one of these theme colors will
02:42also be updated, so let's go to a nice dark green here, the last column, the last row,
02:47give it a click, and you can see our content is still selected or highlighted, but we can
02:52see it has changed color in the background.
02:54All right, so let's just click down below in the paragraph to deselect, and you can see
02:58that's coming along nicely.
02:59All right, little bit further down, if there's something here that we want to highlight,
03:03maybe this word here, homocysteine, we'll select it, and there is our mini toolbar again.
03:11The mini toolbar gives us some of the formatting options available to us from the ribbon.
03:15If we were to go to the Home tab, you can see we have our basic Text Formatting, we
03:20also have a lot of Styles, Tags, and so on that can be accessed from the ribbon that
03:25we don't get from the mini toolbar.
03:28We can even do things like Clear Formatting if we wanted to.
03:31Now what we're going to do is highlight this in yellow, so I'll click the dropdown, you
03:36can see there is some very bright colors, there are some muted ones as well, but I want
03:40this to really stand out, I'm going to go yellow, and you can see how that looks now down below,
03:45it really comes off the paragraph.
03:47So that's some basic formatting that you can apply using either the mini toolbar
03:54or by going to the Home tab on the ribbon to access basic Text Formatting Options.

Borrowing formatting with the Format Painter
00:00When you have a lot of similar content that needs to be formatted consistently, there
00:04is a nice little shortcut tool built right in that allows you to borrow existing formatting
00:10to be applied to other content, called the Format Painter, we are going to take a look
00:14at it now, and how we access it.
00:16Still working in our No Obstacles Home Notebook here, and we move to the Broccoli page
00:22of the Recipe Section here in the Personal Section Group.
00:27Let's say we go up to our heading here, Cooking with Broccoli, we select that, and we use
00:32the mini toolbar to change the font to Arial Black, just drag this all the way up towards the top.
00:42We turn off the bold, we bump up the Size to 18, we change the Font Color to a nice dark
00:49green, we don't have to do that for every one of our headings.
00:54Well, now that we have it, we can actually borrow it and apply it to other content, let's try that.
01:01So, we'll just deselect by clicking off to the right here to see the end result looks good as it is.
01:06So, now let's just click anywhere inside that heading, doesn't matter where, just click once,
01:10now we can access the Format Painter from the mini toolbar.
01:15If we were to select the content, you'll see it here, looks like a little paint brush,
01:21there is also a keyboard shortcut for getting there, Ctrl+Shift+C, or we can go to the Home tab,
01:28and we can access it from here as well, right in the Clipboard section, Format Painter.
01:34So, if you just click inside content without highlighting it, you don't get the mini toolbar,
01:40you can use a keyboard shortcut, or go to the Home tab and click Format Painter.
01:45Now what you've done is you've actually borrowed the formatting where your cursor was flashing,
01:49and it's time now to apply it to any existing content.
01:53Like, let's say this heading down here, Roasted Broccoli, just click and drag across it.
01:58So, click once, then click and drag across, you can see our mouse pointer is actually
02:02a paint brush, when we let go, we now applied the exact same formatting to additional content,
02:09as we scroll little further down, we could do it again.
02:12Now in this case we've lost our Format Painter, so we need to go back in, go back to the Home tab,
02:18click Format Painter, we will come down here, click inside our content, and drag across
02:26Yields four to six servings, and release.
02:29So, you can see how quickly we can actually grab some existing formatting and just apply
02:34to additional content without have to go through the routine of all those changes, including
02:40the font face, the font size, the coloring, et cetera.
02:44Just keep that in mind you have got that little Format Painter in the mini toolbar, as well
02:47as from the Home tab on your ribbon, and you have always got that keyboard shortcut, Ctrl+Shift+C.

Using styles from the quick gallery
00:00Another way to format content quickly is to use styles, and here in OneNote 2013, we have
00:06a limited selection of styles to choose from.
00:10And we're also limited in that these styles are not something that can be modified aside
00:14from one, and we are going to take a look at it now.
00:16We are still using our No Obstacles Home notebook.
00:18We are in the Personal Section group, looking at the Recipes subsection,
00:22and we have the Squash page now selected.
00:25Let's say we want to change this heading into an actual heading using a style, click and drag across it.
00:32And one option is to use the mini toolbar that pops up.
00:35There is our Styles dropdown. That's the character A with the paintbrush.
00:39Give it a click, and you'll see your presets.
00:42This is really all you have to choose from here in OneNote 2013.
00:45So, let's select Heading 1.
00:47So, in this case, we were able to quickly change the font face, the font size, the font color
00:53all by choosing a preset called Heading 1. All right, another option is to do it from the ribbon.
01:00Let's go down to Farmhouse Butternut Squash Soup, select it.
01:03And this time, we'll go to the Home Tab on the ribbon.
01:06There's your styles right there.
01:07Click the dropdown, and you'll see the exact same options.
01:11Let's choose Heading 2. It looks a little bit different.
01:14How about our paragraph here?
01:16Let's click and drag across the entire paragraph.
01:19This should be Normal.
01:20Again, we could go to the mini toolbar, the Home Tab on the ribbon, or there are keyboard
01:24shortcuts as well, try Ctrl+Shift and the letter N as in Normal, changes us to the Normal Style.
01:33And the Normal Style, by the way, is the only one that can be modified.
01:38And to modify that, we go to our File Tab, select Options.
01:44With the General option selected down the left-hand side, you'll see the default font
01:48is Calibri, 11, and we can change the font color as well.
01:52Any changes we make here to the default font will affect any content that has the Normal Style applied.
01:59So again, if you've done this through several notes, and you change the font color,
02:02you'll be changing it throughout all of those notes as well.
02:05So just keep that in mind. We'll click Cancel.
02:08There are some keyboard shortcuts for some of the other preset styles as well.
02:13Let's go back to Farmhouse Butternut Squash Soup.
02:16Maybe that should actually be a level 1 Heading, Ctrl+Alt+1 for Level 1 Heading,
02:22Ctrl+Alt+2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 can also be used to apply Heading Styles.
02:28Let's try Ctrl+Alt+1. You can see that's a little bit better.
02:33Just deselect by clicking off to the right.
02:35So, that's a quick look at the styles you have available to you here in OneNote 2013,
02:41definitely not like using styles in say Microsoft Word where you can modify styles, create your own, et cetera.
02:48But it is a fast and easy way to apply formatting and create a consistent look and feel.

Using bullets and numbering
00:00If you are going to be creating any type of list in any of the notes in one of your OneNote
00:04notebooks here, you might consider using Bullets and Numbering.
00:08And I don't mean creating those bullets or numbers yourself, but rather allowing OneNote to handle it for you.
00:13That's what we're going to do with our No Obstacles Home Notebook here.
00:17Right where we left off in the previous lesson where we applied some styles, and if you're
00:21jumping to this lesson, that's okay, you can go to the Squash page here under Recipes in
00:26the Personal Section group, and just ignore the formatting that you see here.
00:31It will be different for you.
00:33But we are going to scroll down a little bit further past the ingredients in this Recipe
00:37where we actually have a list of steps that need to be taken.
00:41So, if you're going to have steps that need to be taken in order, that's ideal for numbers.
00:46If it's just a list of items in no particular order, well, maybe bullets would be better there.
00:52So, let's try both. Go back up to our list of items or ingredients.
00:57We'll click and drag across all of those, all the way down to the last line, make sure it's also highlighted.
01:04You'll notice that we can actually access Bullets and Numbering from the mini toolbar.
01:08There is our Bullets button, clicking it gives us the default bullets, and there is our Numbering
01:13button, that would give us our default numbering.
01:15And you can see there are keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+Slash for numbers, Ctrl+Period for bullets.
01:23But again, that gives you the default.
01:24There are many options to choose from, and if you click the dropdown arrow, you'll see what they are.
01:29Here we have a Bullet Library.
01:30You will see at the very top any bullets you may have used recently and then down below,
01:36the current selection is highlighted, None, and there's your library.
01:39So, if you want to choose something like this dark arrow, for example, or maybe just a hollow
01:45circle, you make your selection by clicking, and there you go!
01:49You've applied your bullets. Let's just click to deselect. It looks nice.
01:53All right, let's scroll a little further down now and get to our steps, again, because these need
01:58to be taken in order, they should be numbered.
02:00So, we'll click and drag across and down to highlight every one of those lines.
02:05Automatically, OneNote knows where someone hit the Enter key to create what we call
02:09a hard return, and that means a new bullet, or a new number.
02:13We saw it with the list above, we'll see it here again.
02:16When we this time go to the Home Tab and choose Bullets and Numbering from here, you can see
02:21there's the Bullets dropdown, the Numbering dropdown.
02:25Let's click the dropdown to see the Library, so there are a number of different options
02:29to choose from, including alphanumerics and Roman numerals.
02:34We can even customize numbers as well. Let's just go for some standard numbering here.
02:40Select it, there we go, beautiful!
02:42So, it knows exactly where to start the next one according to where somebody hit Enter
02:47at the end of a line or a paragraph.
02:49But the beauty, of course, of using numbering that's built into OneNote is if we need to
02:53make changes, we don't have to do the renumbering ourselves.
02:57Right now we have 6 steps.
02:58But if we look at step 3, there's actually 2 in here.
03:02So, we are going to click just in front of the A in Add, and hit Enter.
03:06All of a sudden, we have 7 steps.
03:09It becomes step 4, and the rest are renumbered for us.
03:12We didn't have to do any renumbering ourselves, a nice timesaver.
03:17So again, that's the beauty of using the built-in Bullets and Numbering.
03:22Of course if we wanted to, we could start adding additional items.
03:25Let's click at the end of bacon here, press Enter, and automatically we are on to step number 8.
03:32It's numbered for us because we hit Enter, it knows it should be a new number.
03:36Let's hit the Backspace key on the keyboard a few times 'til we get back where we started,
03:40and notice that the Numbering is removed.
03:42So, that's a quick look at Bullets and Numbering here in OneNote 2013.

Checking spelling
00:00Whether you are going to be jotting down notes quickly or importing content from various
00:04sources, you want to ensure that content is spelled correctly.
00:08So we are going to take a look now at some spell-checking options built into OneNote 2013.
00:13We will do so with our No Obstacles Home Notebook, and you can see I moved up to the root level
00:18here looking at General Notes, only one page here for General Information, not a lot of
00:23text here, but I'm hoping if I run the spell-checker, it's going to check my entire Notebook.
00:29Let's see what happens.
00:30We will find it under the Review tab on the ribbon, there it is off to the left, click
00:34Spelling and over here on the right-hand the Spelling pane appears, not much happening
00:39over here just a message indicating that the spell-check is complete.
00:43Well, unfortunately, it checks the page you are looking at, and that's it.
00:48So we click OK, we need to move from page to page now, which is exactly why I like to
00:53run the spell-checker on the fly.
00:55We will go to Personal and in the Recipe section, make sure that Asparagus is selected.
01:03Let's try it again, we will go to Review > Spelling, right away you can see there is a word down below,
01:09it actually has this red squiggly line under it, and it now appears displayed under
01:14the word Spelling with two options, to Ignore that, so in other words this is not a spelling
01:19error, and it's just not recognized in the dictionary.
01:22But we could add to the dictionary, keeping in mind that it will be added to a dictionary
01:27that's shared by all of the office programs in the Suite.
01:31No Suggestions down below. I am using the English US Dictionary. I can switch dictionaries
01:36by simply clicking the dropdown and making the appropriate selection.
01:41Now we can close this up by clicking the Close button and just right-click the word, anytime
01:46you see that red squiggly line, right-click, and you'll see some spell-checking options
01:51like Ignore and Add, and we can run the spell-checker from here as well.
01:55This is one to ignore for sure, and this would be an example of checking spelling on the fly.
02:00Gets that red squiggly line, we click Ignore, and we move on.
02:05Now throughout the rest of this page, I don't see any red squiggly lines, so I should be good to go.
02:09Keeping in mind, though, that the spell-checker is not only checking spelling when you run it,
02:14it's also checking your grammar.
02:16All right, let's just go to the end of the paragraph here, we will click after rupturing
02:21there is a period there, and we will type the word keep without a capital K.
02:25K-E-E-P, now hit the Spacebar, and look what happens.
02:30The K is capitalized for you.
02:33So it was fixed on the fly or automatically corrected.
02:37There is a line under the K, and as we move our mouse over that you can see it's actually
02:40something called AutoCorrect that has kicked in, and we can click this dropdown to see the AutoCorrect options.
02:47Change it back to lower case, sometimes you don't want a capital after a period, for example,
02:52after an abbreviated term.
02:54You can also choose to stop automatically capitalizing after the word rupturing, or
03:01if you choose to access your AutoCorrect options, you can make adjustments there that will be permanent.
03:08Let's go there now.
03:10Clicking this opens up a dialog that you could also access from the File tab here in OneNote
03:15by going down to your Options.
03:18With AutoCorrect, you can see things like Two Initial Capitals will be fixed.
03:23Ever hold down the Shift key a little too long? Go back to fix it, and it might already be fixed for you.
03:29Same thing for capitalizing the first letter of sentences, and this is one that some people
03:33like to turn off, because of those abbreviations, for example.
03:37By default it is checked off, same thing for names of days, if you accidentally leave your
03:42Caps Lock key on and everything is the reverse of what it should be, it'll be fixed and then
03:47also you'll see replacing text as you type is selected, meaning everything you see on
03:51the list below will be fixed for you, and you can add to this list.
03:56I know, for example, I often go to spell the word the and get the T and the H and the E mixed up.
04:04Type in T-E-H, and you will see it's already there.
04:07T-E-H, if you type that in and move on to another word, it will be replaced with the word the. Let's test it out.
04:15Click Cancel and after the word Keep, we will type in T-E-H, hit the Spacebar.
04:21Okay, so far so good, we could also add our own.
04:24This time let's go to the File tab, select Options and from here click Proofing down the left-hand side.
04:34Here's where we can access those AutoCorrect options, but before we do, notice that there
04:38are a number of other spell-checking options that are selected for you by default, like
04:45ignoring words that contain numbers or that might appear in uppercase or as web or Internet
04:50addresses, all of these can be adjusted, of course, including down below, Check spelling
04:55as you type, if you don't like seeing those red squiggly lines, turn that off by deselecting the check box.
05:01In other words, it's the same as hiding spelling and grammar errors and notice that indeed
05:06grammar is being checked with your spelling.
05:09Let's go to AutoCorrect options, here's an area where I sometimes I like to use a shortcut.
05:14I used to work for a place called the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario.
05:18Well, never would I use C-H-E-O in lower case like that, so I would type that in and have
05:25it replaced with Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario.
05:32So instead of typing that every time, I'd only need to cheo, when I click Add, it gets
05:38added to my dictionary, click OK, click OK again to close up the dialog, and let's type
05:45in cheo and see what happens. Yeah, there it is.
05:49I saved a lot of time and a lot of effort with that little shortcut over the years.
05:55So as you can see there is some spell-checking functionality built into OneNote 2013.
06:01You do have to check pages at a time with checking spelling on the fly and those red squiggly
06:07lines, you might consider fixing them up before you move on to other pages in a Notebook.

4. Viewing and Organizing Information
Organizing the user interface
00:00Sometimes staying organized is more than organizing the content in your Notebooks but organizing
00:06what you see around it, and that's we are going to talk about right now.
00:10Really doesn't matter what Notebook you have open.
00:12I'm working with the No Obstacles Chapter 4 Notebook, and I'm looking at the Recipe
00:16section under Personal in the Asparagus page.
00:19All right, all we are going to do is change up the way our User Interface looks and works
00:25for us, and this is going to be personal to you, so you can pick and choose what you want to do here.
00:32The first thing that I'd like to change and keep it that way moving forward is the ribbon.
00:37I don't like just seeing the tabs, I like to see all of the sections and the actual
00:42commands in those section, so I am going to go up to the top right corner here.
00:46That second button after the question mark or Help button is a button that allows you to customize your ribbon.
00:52So I will give it a click, Auto Hide is an options where you won't even see the tabs,
00:57you won't see anything 'til you move up to the top to use the ribbon.
01:00Show Tabs is what's currently selected for me, the default.
01:03And there it is, Show Tabs and Commands, that's what I want, that's what I am used to with
01:07other programs, I am going to give it a click, and now my ribbon will stay expanded.
01:11I will always have access to everything I need without having to expand or collapse.
01:18That also means I've used up a little bit of real estate, but everything is been pushed
01:21down, and it's going to fit in accordingly.
01:23All right, some other options are under the View tab, let's go there.
01:28For example, we can change views, Normal view is the default view, but Full Page View is great for reading.
01:33If we give it a click, you can see everything is kind of hidden away, now we can focus on the content.
01:38Not just read, but we can work on this content.
01:41The ribbon is up there, it's just automatically hiding those three dots you see at the top,
01:46give them a click, there is your ribbon, click down below, it automatically hides.
01:52There's your Notebook name, your section group, sections, we can click that dropdown to change
01:59between the various sections and pages if we wanted to, but when we go back to our page, it's all hidden away.
02:07And lastly, to go back to the View, we don't have to unhide the ribbon and go to the View tab,
02:11we can click this little guy right here, the double diagonal arrow will take you back
02:15to Normal view, and that's where we are going to stay.
02:19There are some Zoom options as well for zooming in and out.
02:22If we want to zoom in to some specific content, you could.
02:27You can zoom out with each click, you can see it's about 25% that you are moving in
02:31and out through the presets, we can click the dropdown to select directly from a preset,
02:37like 110% or go back to 100 with a click.
02:42I like this one, Page Width, allows me to zoom to a level that will always allow me to see
02:46the full width of my page.
02:48So depending on your screen resolution, your monitor size, you might see a different value than I do up here.
02:54Let's go back to 100.
02:55And we also have the ability to work with multiple windows here.
03:00In the Window section here, under the View tab on the ribbon, you can see we can create
03:04a New Window, give it a click, and it doesn't appear like a whole lot has happened,
03:09but you have opened up another Notebook window, so we are still looking at the same content, but in a new window.
03:16If we go down to the Taskbar, down at the very bottom of our screen, you will notice
03:21when we hover over OneNote, there is actually two Windows open displaying the same content,
03:27and that's great if we want to go to different pages.
03:30For example, click the left-hand side, switch to the Asparagus page, and now if I wanted
03:36to take content from here and move it into the Broccoli page, I could do that by going
03:40down to the bottom and switching to Broccoli, copying pasting, et cetera, even better than
03:45this view would be to dock one of them off to the right-hand side.
03:48So let's go back to the View tab and create a New Docked Window.
03:54By doing that you get a window over here on the right-hand side, and now if we wanted
03:58to, we can switch pages and simply click and drag from one to the other.
04:03I like that view better. When we are done, we can actually close this up.
04:07We will get more into that when we talk about linking Notes a little bit later.
04:12Some other options include what you see here under Page setup.
04:16Page Color and the Background, if you wanted to, you could change it, might make a little easier on your eyes.
04:22I am going to leave it at No color, which is actually plain white in the background.
04:28However, Rule Lines might be handy.
04:31Let's go to our dropdown here for our Notebook and go to Quick Notes.
04:36In here, I do have some notes already, but we are going to Add a Page, New Blank Page,
04:42and let's just type in Scribble and Enter and maybe if we were going to be using Ink,
04:47and we are going to actually handwriting notes, maybe you are using a tablet or a stylus,
04:52for example, you might want lines.
04:55So let's go to Rule Lines, click the dropdown and look at the different options.
04:58Tight, little looser, very wide lines, even graph paper options here as well.
05:05So when we choose an option like this second last one, we get lines that we can use
05:09to help keep our handwriting neat.
05:12You can also go back to this dropdown if every new page you create you want those lines,
05:17you can always create pages with Rule Lines.
05:19You can even change the Rule Line Color if you want.
05:23Right now, it's set to light blue by default, you can see all the different options.
05:26I am going to go with Green to go with our company, there we go.
05:31All right, let's go back to that dropdown and go back to our Notebook No Obstacles Chapter 4.
05:36Those are just some of the things you can do with your view to customize your user interface
05:41to help you work more efficiently and suit your own needs.

Creating new windows and linking notes
00:00Did you know when you decide to dock your OneNote Window off to the right-hand side
00:04by changing views, anything you're looking at on the left-hand side, a link is being
00:09created to that as you create Notes in your OneNote pane? Let's check it out right now.
00:16First thing we're going to do with our No Obstacles Chapter 4 Notebook here is navigate
00:20back up a level here by clicking the navigation arrow, and we'll switch over to the Business
00:26section group and click the Plus sign tab to create a New Section, and let's call
00:32this Sport, just type in Sport, press Enter, and now we have our flashing cursor with our
00:38new untitled page, let's give it a title, let's call it No Obstacles Sport and then
00:46down below we might start taking notes.
00:49But if we want to view something while we're taking notes, maybe it's a Word document with
00:53information that's going to be useful, maybe it's a PowerPoint presentation or a website.
00:59Automatically, when we change our view to the docked view, we'll be creating a link
01:03to whatever we're looking at, so let's do that.
01:05We'll click the View tab and click Dock to Desktop.
01:11Now, next we're going to launch our default browser, mine is Internet Explorer, and we're
01:15going to go to this No Obstacles site, which is actually a blog, and because we're looking
01:21at if you're on the left, anything we create over here on the right will be linked to what we're looking at.
01:27So, for example, if we wanted to add some information about a contest, as we can see
01:32there's a winner of the contest announced here, so let's just type in the word Contest winner.
01:39As you start typing, look what happens off to the left, we're seeing an icon representing our browser.
01:44I'm going to type announced in August 2012 and OK.
01:54That little icon means I can hover over it and get some information, there's the website,
01:58there is some information about the page I'm looking at, and also you'll notice up here
02:03there's a little link icon, that's because Linked Note Taking is enabled as soon as we switched views.
02:10Let's click the dropdown, because from here you can look at any linked files, you might
02:14have a list of them, maybe you were taking notes while looking at a Word document, you
02:18could see a link to that Word document or PowerPoint presentation, could even be another
02:22Notebook or another page in the same Notebook.
02:26Down below we can Stop Taking Link Notes at any time, Delete the Links that appear
02:31On This Page, one by one or all of them at the same time, and we can take a look at our Linked
02:37Notes Options which we can also access from the File tab in OneNote, but we can access
02:42our options from here as well.
02:43Let's give it a click, you'll see here in the middle section Linked Notes there are
02:47check marks in both boxes for allowing the creation of New Link Notes when we switch
02:52to our Docked View and also Document Snippets are being saved with a page thumbnail
02:58when we're linking to other documents, like Word documents or PowerPoint presentations.
03:02I can even Delete or Remove all of the Links in our Notebook from here as well, but let's
03:08just click Cancel, and let's switch our view back now by clicking the double diagonal arrow,
03:13we'll go back to Normal view.
03:16Notice now that the icon actually appears up here in our Note, but it's got the no sign
03:20over it, and that's because we've just disabled Linked Note Taking, because we changed views,
03:26click the dropdown, you'll access your links from here, the options, Delete Links On This
03:31Page and over here on the left where we see our Note, we still see that icon off to the
03:37left-hand side that we can hover over if we wanted to get additional information.
03:41So just click, hover, you can see that information.
03:44You want to go there quickly, just click it, it'll launch your browser and take you to
03:49that site, you can see that's exactly what's happened here.
03:52I'm going to minimize my browser to go back to OneNote.
03:56So that's how Linked Notes are taken automatically when you switch to a Docked View here in OneNote 2013.
04:03It will allow you to quickly go back to those sites, pages, documents, other Notebooks,
04:09when you're adding notes that are linked to something specific that you're viewing on the left side of your page.

Searching a notebook
00:00I want you to imagine for a moment a time in the past where you had a notebook or maybe
00:06multiple notebooks, paper versions, and they were filled with notes, content you maybe
00:12added yourself or cut and pasted from magazines, articles, et cetera.
00:17And now you need to go back and find that information, could be in any one of a number
00:21of notebooks, could be inside an article that you pasted, could be handwritten notes.
00:27Well, it could take quite a while, obviously. Not so here in OneNote there's built-in search
00:32functionality, and there are number of different options we're going to explore right now.
00:37You'll notice no matter what section or page you're looking at,
00:41over in the top right corner there is a search field, Ctrl+E should be the default.
00:46Now if you change this that's okay, you might see something different.
00:49All that means is whatever we type in here, we're going to be searching any open notebooks,
00:54so if you have ten notebooks that are open, you'll searching through all of them for whatever
00:58you type in this field. Let's just click the dropdown, and you'll see All Notebooks is selected.
01:04Now you could focus on just this notebook just a section group, a specific section,
01:10and you also have the ability to search on a page using the old keyboard shortcut.
01:14There it is, Ctrl+F, for clicking this option.
01:18Let's just click up here in the search field, and we'll start typing.
01:22Now as you start to type, OneNote starts searching.
01:26Let's say we're going to look for Butternut, we type in the letter B.
01:30All of a sudden you can see we're finding section groups, we're seeing B in Butternut,
01:36it's part of Broccoli on this page, it doesn't look like we're finding anything
01:40really that applies, but as we continue to type, you can see it gets narrowed down, B-U-T,
01:47now we're down to Butternut.
01:48And if we wanted to go to that all we have to do is click it, takes us directly to the
01:53page, and you can see B-U-T is highlighted all over the place.
01:58All right, let's take that out, I'll click back in there, everything is highlighted and try something else.
02:04Let's try A-S-P, looks like there is only one page, Asparagus, and when we click it, we're
02:12taken directly to that page.
02:14Now remember, it's lightning fast. It could be in any one of a number of open notebooks
02:18that you're searching through and by default you're going to find things that are related
02:24to your search no matter where they reside.
02:26So let's go back to the dropdown now for a second, and let's find on this page now.
02:32And when you click there, you can see A-S-P still shows up in the field and 1 of 12
02:38is highlighted over here to the left, and we can move through those by clicking the
02:42arrows and move up through them.
02:45And you can see as we move with each click, we're going up through the page until we get
02:52to exactly where on the page we want to be, and then we can close this up by clicking
02:57the Close button, and we're back right where we started.
03:00All right, now here on the Sport tab, and now if you have been following along we created
03:05a sports section here, and we started to create a linked note, really it doesn't matter if
03:11you have that linked note or not, but if you need to add a new section to the business
03:15section group go ahead and add it, just call it sport.
03:18And we'll click anywhere over here on the page, we're going to insert something.
03:22Let's go to the Insert tab, right up here on the ribbon and choose picture, and in the Chapter 4
03:28folder of your exercise files we have a business card, so let's say the contest winner
03:32we just drew business card, so this was our winner, we click the Insert button to insert that image.
03:38Now we can adjust things like the size of this image, we'll just click it and drag one
03:42of the corners down, we'll move it around, so we can see it on our page here, it doesn't
03:47need to be huge, you can size it down even further if you like,
03:52but the cool thing about OneNote is this is an image, and we can find text in this image.
03:58So let's just go to another area of our notebook, we'll go up, we'll go to the personal section,
04:05there is asparagus where we left off with our last search, let's go into the search
04:10field again, and we'll leave it with all notebooks, and let's type in Toby, T-O-B-Y,
04:18looks like over here, No Obstacles Sport the name Toby, let's click.
04:23And you'll notice it's actually highlighted here inside an image.
04:27This is not real text that was typed in the notebook, this is text that appears as part
04:32of an image and OneNote was able to find it.
04:35In some cases it'll even find handwritten notes depending on how neatly written they were.
04:41For examples, if we go up here, click the dropdown and choose Find on This Page and
04:47just type in the letter S, you can see actually the S is highlighted here in the handwriting.
04:53If we were to continue it might not work so well, we'll type in the X, no, it didn't
04:58seem to be able to find that.
05:00What if we took those out with the backspace and just the X? No.
05:03So as you can see, with handwriting it's touch and go, but definitely if you have printed
05:09text inside an image, OneNote has no difficulty finding it at all, so we'll just click anywhere on the page.
05:17And that's a quick look at the search functionality built into OneNote 2013.

Tagging notes
00:00Another option here in OneNote to help you stay organized, to help you quickly and easily
00:04find things that you need to get back to is to use tags, and we're going to talk about them now.
00:10We'll continue to work with our No Obstacles Chapter 4 notebook.
00:13And as you can see, I flipped over to the Personal group, the Recipes section here,
00:18looking at our different pages down the right- hand side with Asparagus highlighted.
00:24All right, so as we scroll down through this recipe, we realize, okay, here's some information adapted
00:29from a recipe by this person.
00:31Maybe it would be good to tag that as something we want to get back to.
00:35So, let's highlight the two words, Anne Graziano, because by doing that, we actually see the
00:41mini toolbar, which gives us one option for accessing tags.
00:45There is one tag that appears here, the Tag as To Do option, and automatically it becomes
00:51a check box with something that we need to do. In this case, it's not really a To-Do item.
00:56So, let's go to the next option which is a little dropdown full of tags that are available
01:02to you here in OneNote. There is To Do at the top.
01:05Notice there are keyboard shortcuts, Ctrl+1 for To Do, Ctrl+2 for Important, a Question, Ctrl+3.
01:13Ah, there's one, Remember for later, and it actually comes with some highlighting as well.
01:18So now the contact, an address, a phone number, and there is quite a list of presets here.
01:23You can even add your own, which we'll do momentarily.
01:25So, as you scroll up, maybe this is something to remember for later. Let's select it.
01:32Now, by default, it's going to select the entire paragraph.
01:36It's going to apply the highlighting that comes with the tag itself.
01:41And as we look at it, we remember now that there's something that has to be done later.
01:46It's also created a tag that's attached to our notebook, and we can access all of our tags in one place.
01:52We'll do that after we apply a couple of more. Let's go a little bit further down here.
01:57There is 1 garlic clove, minced, I think that's a healthy choice.
02:01So, any healthy items that would appear in our recipe, we might want to tag them.
02:06So, 1 clove garlic, we can go to our mini-toolbar, or go up to the Home Tab on the ribbon,
02:12you can see there's a Tag section here as well.
02:15And as we click the dropdown, there is nothing here that actually says Healthy Choice or Healthy Option,
02:20so let's create our own. We'll go down to Customize Tags.
02:25And not only can we create a new tag, but we can modify existing tags, change up the order if we wanted to,
02:31even delete tags that we don't use. But we're going to create a new one.
02:35We're going to call it Healthy Option.
02:39Let's choose a symbol by clicking the Symbol dropdown.
02:42This one kind of applies, the heart symbol.
02:44We'll change the font color to a nice deep red as well.
02:49If we wanted to have highlighting like we do for the Remember for later tag, we could do that.
02:54We just leave it at None and click OK. It's now at the top of our list.
02:59So, if we wanted to, we could move it down, if we didn't want to use up some of those keyboard shortcuts.
03:04I'm going to make it number 3.
03:07And at anytime we can modify or even delete that tag if we don't need it.
03:11But let's click OK.
03:13And now all we have to do is tag the highlighted text that we have right down below by clicking it from the list.
03:20If you can see it on the list, you don't need to click the dropdown to choose Healthy Option.
03:25Notice what happens over here in the left- hand side, we have a symbol, and it has now been
03:30tagged and the font color changed. So, it's easier to see on the page.
03:36Okay, let's go to Broccoli and do the same thing. We'll use that same tag.
03:39I may have done this already, but we're going to go up here to olive oil.
03:43Let's click and drag over olive oil, and we'll add that tag by going to our mini-toolbar
03:50and selecting it from there. You could also use Ctrl+3 if you wanted to.
03:55And now, we're starting to build up the number of tags in our notebook.
03:59Next, we can use Find Tags to find anything that's been tagged quickly and easily.
04:05It opens up the Tags Summary.
04:07And you can see some of these items, like 1 garlic clove, minced.
04:10If we click that, it's going to take us right to the page and highlight the text that's
04:15been tagged just like that. There is our Remember for later tag.
04:19And as you can see they are grouped by tag name.
04:22If you wanted to, you could change the order that you're seeing.
04:25Everything could be in order of the Section, Title, Date, or Note Text if you wanted to.
04:31And then these can be minimized and maximized. Let's go back to Tag name.
04:38Maybe we're not interested in the Healthy Options right now.
04:40We collapse it and focus on some of these other ones, Adapted from a recipe under the Remember for later.
04:47At anytime, we can remove a tag. So we've remembered this now.
04:50We no longer need the tag here. So, we can right-click our selected text.
04:55So long as it's highlighted, we can remove the tag. We don't see it here.
04:59Let's go back inside with a click, right-click, go up to our Tags dropdown.
05:06And from here choose Remove Tag, just like that.
05:09Now we can refresh our results over here on the right, and notice it's removed from the tag summary.
05:16We can also customize our tags from here, just like we did from the Home Tab on our ribbon in the Tag section.
05:24And when we're done, we can simply close this up.
05:27So, that's a quick look at tags and how they can help you highlight certain content in
05:33your notebooks but also help you find that content a little bit later on.
05:38Remember, there are a number of preset tags but there are also a number of tags that you
05:42may want to create yourself using the Customize Tags option.
05:46The possibilities are limitless.

5. Working with Templates
Using templates
00:00Many people don't realize OneNote comes with a number of templates to help you get started.
00:06So far in this course, we've been using the default blank template with a white background
00:12and really nothing on the page when we create new pages.
00:15However, you do have the ability to choose from templates as you create new pages.
00:20You can't apply templates to existing pages, but we're going to apply some templates to
00:25new pages we create now, using this Notebook called No Obstacles Chapter 5.
00:30Let's create a brand-new section, actually.
00:33Click the Plus sign tab to Create a New Section, and we'll call this Project X.
00:38Let's say we are starting a brand-new project, code name X for now, press Enter.
00:44And notice that we do have a New Page that's created and again, it's using just the default background.
00:49There's no color. There's no graphics.
00:52There's no content just a flashing cursor waiting for us to create our page title.
00:57Well, we're actually going to add a Page but we're going to do it using a template.
01:03That means we're not going to click the Add Page link over here on the right-hand side.
01:06We're going to go to the Insert tab instead.
01:10From here, you'll notice something called Page Templates.
01:13Click the dropdown, and if you've used this before, you'll see some recently used templates at the top.
01:19If it's your first time, your only option is Page Templates, and that's where we're actually going to go.
01:25Now from here, we have a number of different categories.
01:27These are built-in templates under a number of different categories, and if you don't
01:32find what you're looking for, you can search templates at Office.com.
01:36And this allows you to go through existing templates online if you're connected and download them.
01:42But let's just start with some of the categories.
01:44If we click the Expansion arrow to the right of Academic, we'll see that there are a number
01:48of different Academic styles to templates.
01:52So, if we're going to be taking Lecture Notes, we have some options here.
01:57If it's a Math/Science Class, and we want to take notes, we'll get a different template, different placeholders.
02:02How about a History Class?
02:04Let's click that link which creates the new page, and you can see we have placeholders
02:10here for many of the notes we might take in a History Class.
02:15All right, we really don't need that, so we right-click title and choose Delete.
02:20We're back to our blank page.
02:22Let's collapse this category and look at the Blank category.
02:26Now, Blank is kind of what we're using, the default here is just a blank white page with nothing on it.
02:33But we have Statements, we have Letters and really in these cases, we're not choosing
02:38content that's going to appear on our page, but rather a paper size, 8 & 1/2 by 11, for example,
02:45or 8 & 1/2 by 14 with Legal.
02:48But as we scroll down, we see some different sizes, Postcards, Index Cards, and then we
02:52do get into some with some backgrounds, and you can see all with the different colors
02:56we can choose from there.
02:59Let's just try one with Green in the background, and you can see what that looks like, again, it's a blank page.
03:05But we have some background color.
03:07We'll right-click Untitled page and Delete it as well, not exactly what we're looking for.
03:13So, let's just scroll up until we see the Collapse arrow now, next to Blank, and collapse that category.
03:19And Business I think is where we're going to find what we're looking for to start this new project.
03:24We'll click the dropdown, and you can see we have a Project Overview template here, perfect.
03:30Let's click that.
03:31It inserts the project overview page, it has already got the title.
03:35Look at the placeholders down below that we can use to start adding our content.
03:39It's a great way to get a nice head start.
03:42We no longer need this Untitled page over here.
03:44We'll right-click and choose Delete to remove it.
03:48All right, maybe we need another page now, and I'm looking at Business here.
03:52There's Meeting Notes, Detailed Meeting Notes, Formal Meeting, nothing that we need right here for our project.
03:58So, let's collapse that and go to Decorative.
04:01Now in this case, there's quite a long list, and you can see as we scroll through them,
04:07there's lots to choose from here.
04:09So, you want to spend some time just navigating through here, taking a peek,
04:15removing the pages you really don't want.
04:18But the only way to preview them is to actually select them, Create the Page and then remove that page.
04:24Let's go to Planners now and expand that, and as we scroll down, okay, perfect.
04:29A Project To Do List. Let's click that to add another new page.
04:33Now, it appears under Project Overview.
04:36We have our To Do list, has some fancy graphics on it, cool background, and we have a checklist here with check boxes.
04:44All of this placed on the page for us, because of the template we just selected.
04:49As I mentioned earlier, if you don't find which you're looking for, you can always go to templates on Office.com.
04:55Clicking this link is going to launch your default browser, and it's going to take you
04:58directly to office.com where you can start looking through some of the different templates.
05:03Notice All Products here on the left-hand side has OneNote right below it, and we have different versions of OneNote.
05:10I believe at this time, it's all very fresh right now.
05:14If I select 2013, there aren't any OneNote templates to choose from, but there're some other places to go.
05:20Let's go back to OneNote, give it a click, and I might want an older template that I
05:25was using in a previous version, maybe 2010.
05:29Now in this case, I do see some templates to choose from, and as I scroll through them,
05:35I see Categories over here as well, I'm going to click Business, and you're going to see thumbnails
05:41for the different templates you can choose from, maybe Note-taking abbreviations.
05:46We can view the details, opens it up, gives us a nice preview, if that's what we're
05:51looking for, we click Download to download it and use it in our Notebook, even though we're in OneNote 2013.
05:58We don't really need that right now, so we'll just close up our browser and return to our new To Do List page.
06:06So, that's how easy it is here to get started with templates in OneNote 2013, selecting
06:12from built-in templates or of course, if you don't find what are looking for, you can go
06:17online to Office.com and download ones that maybe you used in the past.

Saving as a template
00:00We learned in the previous movie how we can select from some built-in templates here in
00:04OneNote 2013 to get a nice head-start when creating new pages, there are a number of templates online as well.
00:11But did you know you can create your own?
00:13Maybe there's a template you like to use, and it's very close to what you want, but
00:17not exactly what you're looking for.
00:20Well, make some adjustments and save it as a template that you can use over and over again.
00:25We're going to continue working with our No Obstacles Chapter 5 notebook here,
00:30and we already created a new section in the previous movie Project X, and we added a page here
00:35actually a couple of pages our Project overview and our To Do List.
00:39Maybe our To Do List here, though as you can see, is useful for more than one project, we
00:43only need a to do list for a single project when we're going to be adding it to a section named after a project.
00:51So in that case, we could make some adjustments.
00:52Now if you jump to this lesson that's okay, we're going to insert new page based on the
00:58template, and we're going to make some adjustments to that page and save it as our own.
01:03So it really doesn't matter what section you're looking at or what page at this point.
01:07Just go to the Insert tab, go over to Page Templates give that a click and select Page
01:15Templates, so you're looking at the Templates pane over here on the right-hand side.
01:19We'll click the Planners dropdown, and there's our Project To Do List, let's give it a click,
01:26adds the new page, and now we're going to make some adjustments to this.
01:30First of all, let's go over here to To Do List and type Project in front.
01:37Now let's select it and from the mini toolbar, let's bump up the size of this title from
01:43the default 17 to 20 looks good.
01:47And now down below where we see Project 2, let's just click on the border right at the
01:52top that selects everything and press Delete on your keyboard, same thing over here for notes,
01:57we'll click on the border right at the top, hit Delete to remove it.
02:02And now it's going to be for a single project, we have Project 1, you can go in here,
02:08hit the Delete key to take out the 1 and just leave it at project, and now it's perfect.
02:13So we're going to save this as our own template so we can use it over and over again without
02:17having to make those adjustments every time.
02:19Now of course as more we could do with the background, the colors, et cetera, all things
02:24we've already talked about when it comes to formatting in OneNote 2013.
02:28But that's good enough for now, let's go over to our Templates pane over here on the right-hand
02:32side, right at the very bottom, Save current page as a template.
02:37When we click that we get to give it a name now, so let's call it Single Project To Do List, just like that.
02:47If we wanted this to be the default template used every time we add new pages, we could
02:51click this check box and do it on the fly, we could do this later as well, so let's talk
02:56about it in the next movie for now we'll just click Save.
03:00So it's actually saved, and a new category appears over here in our Templates pane called My Templates.
03:06When you click that dropdown arrow to expand it, there it is, Single Project To Do List.
03:12Click it, you get another new page, and you can see it looks exactly like the previous
03:16page that we made changes to.
03:19All right, let's right-click and Delete it, right-click and Delete the Project To Do List,
03:25we inserted to work from, and we're back where we started.
03:31Now at any time if you want to remove templates you don't use from the my templates section,
03:35just right-click it, and you can see from here we can delete.
03:40And that will remove the template permanently. We could also set it as our default just for
03:45this section if we wanted to from here. We'll leave it as is just so you know it's there
03:51if you need to, and we'll close up our Templates pane.
03:54All right, so we have all of the templates available to us in OneNote 2013, we have online
04:01templates and the ability to create our own templates, we can also choose which one is
04:05going to be the default, we'll talk about that next.

Choosing a default template
00:00We learned in the previous movie when creating our own templates, we had the ability
00:05if we wanted to do to make it the default template for the section we're working in.
00:09Well, we can always go back and change that, we can choose any template we want for any section,
00:14and that's exactly what we're going to do. Let's go to the Contacts tab or section.
00:21And let's say every time we add a new page here, we want it to be kind of an index card.
00:26Well, in that case, we make that index card the default template for this section and
00:32to do that we go up to our Insert tab on the menu and click the Page Templates dropdown
00:37and click Page Templates, that reopens this pane down the right-hand side.
00:41Now down at the bottom you'll see there is no default template selected by default, but
00:47when we click the dropdown we can go to any other templates and any other categories,
00:51including any you may have created.
00:54So as we scroll down this list--and it's quite an extensive list--there is something called
00:59an Index Card here, and it'll be blank, so we can fill in anything we want on the business card,
01:04but it'll be set up in a way that kind of works for contacts.
01:08So let's choose it, that's all we have to do now.
01:11Remember it's for this section only, so we're in our contact section.
01:15If we go to add a page, look what happens.
01:19There it is, a brand-new page, but as you can see it's more like an index card, so we could
01:23add our contact information to this index card, add another page, and we get another blank card, cool stuff.
01:31So keep in mind it could be any of the templates that you have access to here in OneNote 2013,
01:35including the templates you create yourself.
01:39If you want, you could go to different sections setting up different templates that will be
01:43the default template for that section.

6. Formatting Pages
Setting paper size and margins
00:00One of the things you have full control over here in OneNote is the page setup for your
00:06individual pages in any section of a notebook.
00:10This is handy if, for example, you plan on printing content or if you're creating templates
00:15like we did in the previous chapter.
00:18Now we can work on individual pages, new pages, or groups of pages as well.
00:24Let's say, for example, in this section for meetings, we might plan on printing out any
00:29notes we take during monthly manager meetings, staff meetings, et cetera, and as we click
00:34through the various pages here we actually see that there's no real setup.
00:38And in fact, if we were to add content our page would grow as large as it needs to get
00:43to accommodate our content not ideal for printing.
00:47So let's go back to the first page, Monthly Manager Meetings, give it a click.
00:51And if we wanted to we could go to the View tab here and adjust the Paper Size for this particular page.
00:57But we don't want to do each one of them individually, so let's Shift-click the last one on the list
01:03hold down Shift, click User Conference Launch Meeting.
01:06And notice that they're all selected now, so we can adjust the paper size for every page.
01:12All we have to do is click the Paper Size button here in the Page Setup section of
01:16the View tab on the ribbon.
01:18Notice that the size is set to Auto, so it'll grow to accommodate content until we click
01:23this dropdown and choose one of the presets popular here in North America, there's Letter, 8 & 1/2 x 11, Legal.
01:31How about A4 in Europe?
01:33That's a very popular format and will fit most printers.
01:36You can even choose a custom paper size if we wanted to, adding our own width and heights.
01:42Let's go to Letter and give it a click.
01:45So now we have 8 & 1/2 x 11, the Orientation should be set to Portrait, and then down below we can adjust margins.
01:52Now we can't adjust margins for every selected page, we have to do it for individual pages
01:58or set it up in a template for any new pages that get created. Just try to change the top margin,
02:03for example, to 1 by highlighting it typing in a 1 and then hitting your Tab key.
02:08Notice it switches back to 0.5.
02:11If you like these settings, you can actually save this as a template and use it going forward
02:16even make it the default like we did in the previous chapter, but we won't do that quite yet.
02:20We'll just save our new paper size by closing this up, we can actually test it out,
02:26going through the various pages by selecting them.
02:28Notice that we can see the page border on the right-hand side for any of the pages we
02:33select, because they were all highlighted before we change their paper size.
02:36Now to change to the margins, we can go to individual pages, we just have Monthly Manager
02:42Meetings selected here, and we'll go back to the Paper Size button on the ribbon and give it a click.
02:47Now we can change margins, let's say we want to change the top margin to an inch,
02:52we'll highlight it, type 1, press Tab, and notice it sticks.
02:57Bottom margin will leave at a half, and the left and right margins, let's make it three-quarters,
03:010.75 after highlighting, hit your Tab key, and it actually moves to the next
03:06field and highlighted for you, so you can type right over it, 0.75 again, press Tab,
03:13and now we can change the margins for this individual page.
03:16Now we wouldn't make this template, because it would contain content on it, we would do
03:22that with a blank page, for example, so you can might add a new page, make all of these
03:27changes and then save it as a template if that's what you wanted to use going forward,
03:31even check the box for making it the default.
03:35But that's how we change our paper size and our margins for any given page or group
03:39of pages in a notebook in OneNote 2013.

Changing page background options
00:00When it's come to controlling page setup here in OneNote, you also have control over the
00:04background of your pages. You may want to color the backgrounds or add lines to make
00:10it easy for handwriting, for example, or maybe use graph paper if you're going to be doing
00:15a lot of diagramming, for example.
00:17We're going to continue working with our No Obstacles Chapter 6 notebook here, and we're
00:22still looking at the Meetings section, we've already adjusted paper size because we might
00:26want to print out our meeting notes, we can also adjust the background, and again,
00:31it's from the view tab of the ribbon where we go to page setup and find things like Page Color,
00:38click the dropdown and select a nice muted green.
00:42If we want to change the color, we just go back and choose a different color, or if we
00:46prefer not to use color, choose at the very bottom No color.
00:50The other thing we can do are add those lines as talking about, whether they be ruled lines
00:54or graph paper lines. Let's go to the Rule Lines dropdown and see that there are a number
00:59of different spacing options for Rule Lines as well as graph paper.
01:03So, for example, if we select graph paper, you can see we have these nice little squares
01:08it will make it easy for diagramming, perhaps.
01:11Let's change it to rule lines. Maybe we're going to use a stylus and some ink technology,
01:15we could choose one of these Rule Line options. If you need more space, just go back choose
01:20a spaced-out version that allows you the appropriate amount of space for the note you're
01:25going to be taking on this particular page.
01:28Now again, we're applying it to an individual page, we could select multiple pages like
01:32we did in the previous lesson and apply it to those, you could also apply it to a brand-new
01:37page and create a template from that something we did in the previous chapter, but we could
01:42do that with rule lines, with page background colors, margins, and we could even add background graphics.
01:49That's what we're going to do in the next lesson.

Adding a background graphic
00:00When you use some of the preset templates available to you here in OneNote, you'll notice
00:04many of them have graphics, but those graphics are in the background, you don't actually
00:08select those graphics and adjust them, they appear in the background and your content goes over top.
00:13Well, you can create your own background graphics in OneNote as well, and it's especially helpful
00:19if you're going to be creating a template on your own.
00:22Let's do that with our No Obstacles Chapter 6 notebook here.
00:25Let's add a new section, just click the Plus sign off to the right of Project X, we'll
00:30give our New Section a name and notice that we do have a new blank page with ruled lines,
00:35if you're following along in the previous lesson we decided that all new pages would
00:39have these ruled lines, and that's fine.
00:42Now we're going to type in the name of our new section, which is Scribble and press Enter.
00:49The page that we're looking at is brand new. We're going to make some adjustments to it.
00:54So from the View tab let's go to our Paper Size, and let's change it from Auto to Letter,
01:01perfect, we'll leave the margins as is.
01:04Let's also change the page color. We'll click the dropdown and go to a nice light green.
01:10And now we're going to add our graphic which will appear in the background.
01:14We begin, though as all we're going to add a graphic like we like we normally would from
01:18the Insert tab, we'll click Insert, select Pictures and from the Chapter 6 folder of
01:24your exercise files you'll find NOH_Logo our No Obstacles Home logo, it's a PNG file,
01:31so I'll select it and click Insert.
01:33And by default it's inserted inside a framed note here.
01:36If we click on the graphic itself, you can see the handles appearing inside that note frame.
01:41Let's click and drag it outside the note frame now, right out onto the page in the top right corner.
01:47We have to do that first if we're going to put it into the background.
01:51Now let's resize it, I'm going to go to the bottom left corner, double diagonal arrow
01:56and just move it down into a size that's manageable.
02:01And over there in the top right where I want it, but in the background.
02:04So here's where we right-click and from the pop-up menu choose to Set Picture as Background,
02:11give it a click, it's now in the background. If we try to select it, we can't.
02:16If we would wanted to bring it to the foreground and make adjustments we can by right-clicking
02:20again anywhere in the graphic itself and selecting Set Picture as Background; that toggles it
02:26back off until we make the appropriate adjustment, make it a little smaller, maybe right-click and
02:31set it back to the background by choosing Set Picture as Background.
02:36And maybe this would be a nice new template for writing handwritten notes, so let's do that.
02:42Let's go up to our Page Templates dropdown from the Insert menu, click Page Templates
02:49and over here we'll choose to Save the current page as a template. Let's call this Handwritten Notes,
03:02and this should probably be the default template for this current section, our new
03:05section called Scribble, so we'll click the check box to do that on the fly.
03:09When we click Save we now have a new template that appears down below.
03:14It will be part of your My Templates category now up here in the Templates section.
03:19And from now on when we go to Add a new page to this section, it's going to look exactly
03:24like it does right now, this new blank page that we've been working on.
03:27So let's close up this panes for Templates and the Paper Size, and let's add a new page
03:33by clicking Add Page, you can see what we get, an identical copy, it's blank, it's got the lines,
03:38the color background, and our logo in the background as well.
03:43So that's a very useful tips for creating graphics in the background, especially if
03:47you're going to be using them in any templates you might be creating here in OneNote 2013.

7. Working with Tables in OneNote
Creating a table
00:00When you need to keep data organized on a page, one option is to put it into columns and rows.
00:07And to do that, you can use some of the built- in table functionality found in OneNote 2013.
00:11It's as powerful as what you might find in say Microsoft Word, definitely not as what
00:17you would find in Excel, although there are some options to consider.
00:22Let's work with our No Obstacles Chapter 7 Notebook here, and go to the User Conference 2013 tab.
00:28When we click that section, we can then go to a page where we're going to add our agenda.
00:33Let's say there's a 3-day event going on, and there are certain things happening
00:38throughout the day at different times. This is ideal for a table.
00:42Now, to insert the table, all we need to do is click the Insert Tab on the ribbon and go to the Table Section.
00:49When we click the Table button, we have a couple of options, one is to just move down
00:54and hover across the various squares to create a table using the number of rows and columns
01:01that will suit our needs.
01:02For example, if we go across 4, and we go down say 6 to create a 4x6 table, when we
01:10click on that last square, you can see we're getting a table of exactly 4 columns
01:17and 6 rows, identical widths for the columns, identical heights for the rows.
01:21Let's go up to the very top on the Quick Access Toolbar and click Undo.
01:25We'll try another method which is again to click the Insert Tab, click Table, but this
01:30time go down a little further to insert a table.
01:34Notice that the last option if you need the power of a spreadsheet, you can insert a new
01:39Excel spreadsheet, but we're just working with table, so we'll choose Insert Table.
01:43Now, in this case, you're going to type in the number of columns and rows.
01:47So, let's type in 4 for the columns, press the Tab key on your keyboard to move down to the number of rows.
01:54And for that, we'll add 7, so 4x7, we'll click OK. And there we go.
02:01Same result, we've got a 4x7 table that we can work with now.
02:06It's inside a note frame, which is fine.
02:09We can go to the edge of that frame, and when we see the double-arrow, I just click
02:13and drag it out to the right. We're going to need more width for sure.
02:17Now, it's just time to adjust our table a little bit.
02:20Let's go to the actual column borders that we see going up and down the table.
02:25We'll start with the border that we see between columns 1 and 2.
02:30When you get that double arrow, just click and drag it out.
02:33I'm going to make it a little bit wider.
02:35Let's do the same for the border between columns 2 and 3, put the double-arrow, click and drag
02:40it out to about the same.
02:42You don't have the full power you would find in Microsoft Word for inserting exact margins,
02:48for example, for your columns and so on.
02:50But we can eyeball it here, let's make them all equal, or at least close to as equal as we can get.
02:59Okay, so we have a much wider table now.
03:02All it means now is we have the ability with that flashing cursor to click in the cell
03:06where we want to add our content and start typing it in.
03:09Let's go to the first row, second column, and just type in Day 1.
03:17In the next cell, we'll just click there or hit your Tab key to move there and type in Day 2.
03:24And we'll add Day 3 to the last cell. There we go.
03:28Now, if you were to press Enter, look what happens.
03:31It increases the size or height of the row, gives you some more space to start typing.
03:36I kind of like that.
03:38I'm going to move back up in front of the D in Day 3 and hit Enter again.
03:43You can see what happens now.
03:44I've got Day 3 kind of centered in a very large row.
03:49I can do the same for Day 2, click in front of the D, press Enter, same thing for Day 1.
03:55And now I've got this nice header row that's going to take up a little more space than the rest.
04:00We're on our way to formatting our table.
04:02Of course, there's a lot more we can do in the way of formatting.
04:05As you can see, there's a Layout Tab that appears when we create tables, and start working
04:09inside a table, it appears under Table Tools.
04:13So, in the next lesson, we'll get into some formatting options when working with a table here in OneNote 2013.
Collapse this transcript
Working with rows and columns
00:00Once you've inserted a table into one of the pages in your notebook, of course you have
00:05full control over that table and making any changes that need to be made.
00:10The moment you start working inside a table, the Layout Tab appears under Table Tools, giving you some options.
00:15So, for example, if your table doesn't have enough rows or columns or maybe has too many,
00:21you can add or remove rows and columns.
00:23That's what we're going to talk about right now as we continue working with our No Obstacles Chapter 7 Notebook.
00:30If you've jumped to this lesson and need to get caught up, you can open up No Obstacles Chapter 7b.
00:35Notice that we're at the User Conference 2013 section, looking at the Agenda page, and we're inside our table.
00:43So, if we decide that, well, actually we're going to type in the times of the day here
00:48for the various events on each day. So, let's do that.
00:52Let's say our keynote starts at 8:30, we'll type in 8:30 here, move down to the next row.
01:00We'll type in 9:00, and we'll type in 11:00, lunch will be at noon, type that in there.
01:13Then we have a couple of events in the afternoon, one is at 1 o'clock, the other is at 3 o'clock,
01:21and then we realize there is one more thing happening at the end of the day.
01:24There is a closing speech around 5 o'clock, and we're missing a row.
01:30Because our cursor is in the last row, you'll notice when we go up to the very top with
01:34our Layout Tab selected here on the ribbon, in the Insert section, we can insert rows
01:39and columns above below for the Rows or Left or Right for the columns.
01:45We want one below, so we're going to hit Insert Below which adds a new row. There it is.
01:51So we can type in the time 5 o'clock.
01:54Now, if we wanted to say turn this into a 4-day event, we could click here in the
01:59last column, it doesn't really matter what cell, and add another column to the right.
02:05So we would choose Insert Right. Now, notice what happens.
02:09Everything gets readjusted, so it's equal width.
02:11And as we start to type, things will grow. I don't like that.
02:15So, let's click Undo.
02:16That's one way to go back where we were, and of course you also have the Delete options
02:21for deleting columns and rows here as well.
02:24Also, we have the Select Group where we can select things like the entire table if we
02:30want to make changes to it, select specific columns.
02:33So if we click in a column like Day 3 and click Select Columns just Day 3 is highlighted or selected.
02:41Same thing for rows, if we wanted to, click any row, and only that row is highlighted.
02:47Maybe this one should be shaded, for example, because it's the lunch hour, a little bit different from the others.
02:52We can select individual cells as well.
02:54This is all going to come in handy in the next lesson when we start formatting our table.

Formatting tables and data
00:00Well, now that we know we can add tables to our notebooks here in OneNote 2013, you should
00:05also know you have the ability to improve their appearance with some minimal formatting
00:10options that we're going to take a look at now,
00:13as we continue to work with our No Obstacles Chapter 7 Notebook in the User Conference 2013
00:19section looking at the Agenda page where we've started our table.
00:22Let's start with this top row.
00:24One option is to click and drag across the cells to select a row or just click anywhere to deselect.
00:30And try using that little marker that appears as we move up and down the rows.
00:34Put little marker off to the left, when you see the four-sided arrow, click once,
00:38and you'll select an entire row. Now we can apply some formatting.
00:42For example, maybe the content in these cells should be centered.
00:46We'll go to the Alignment section where we can choose from Left, Center, or Right.
00:50We'll click Center, and that looks better. We can also apply some shading.
00:54Let's click the Shading dropdown in the Format section and choose a nice light green.
01:00Now the content itself can also be formatted, but you won't find any options on the layout tab under Table Tools.
01:06Instead, we need to go to the Home tab and here we have all of our basic text formatting options.
01:12We can also apply styles if we wanted to.
01:15Let's just go to bold, maybe a little bit bigger, how about 14 points?
01:21And maybe change the color to a dark green, so we can still see it on the light green background, very nice.
01:28Let's click and drag across the cells containing the times of the day, so from 8:30 down
01:34to 5 o'clock, and let's change that to bold by clicking the bold button.
01:38As far as alignment goes, we can adjust it from here as well.
01:42If we click the Alignment button try Center here, you can see that looks okay, maybe Right Align would be better.
01:49I'm thinking Left Align was probably the best, and all we need to do is narrow this column a little bit.
01:55So we'll go to the border between columns 1 and 2 just drag it to the left, there that looks better.
02:03Go back to the Layout tab to continue working with our table.
02:07Really as you look at the different sections of the ribbon, there's not a whole lot more
02:11we can do in the way of formatting.
02:13We have the ability to hide borders if we wanted to.
02:17It means that we will still have our table but the borders will be invisible for the cells that we select.
02:23But other than that, we really don't have a lot of options when it comes to formatting our tables.
02:28But it's just good to know that some of them do exist, and we can improve the appearance
02:32of a table that we add to a OneNote page.

Converting tables to Excel spreadsheets
00:00If you've inserted a table into one of your notebooks here in OneNote and decide you
00:05need the additional power that you would find in a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel, no problem.
00:10All you have to do is convert the table to a spreadsheet,
00:14then you'll be able to edit it using all of the functionality built into Excel.
00:18That's what we're going to do with our Agenda here.
00:21And if you have jumped to this lesson, you can go to the No Obstacles Chapter 7d notebook,
00:25in the User Conference 2013 section under Agenda is where we're working on our table.
00:32Now the Layout tab does appear when you're working in a table.
00:35If you've jumped to this lesson, though, and you've clicked inside the table and don't
00:38see that just go to the Insert tab, click Table, click it again, and you'll see this
00:44tab, click Layout and from here is where you'll find Convert to Excel Spreadsheet.
00:50It's a very last option on the ribbon so your cursor needs to be anywhere inside the table
00:55when you click Convert to Excel Spreadsheet.
00:57And that's just a matter of sitting back and watching it get converted, there it is.
01:03Looks very similar to the original table, the difference is it has this Excel logo next to it.
01:10You can see the exact date it was last modified, the size of the table.
01:14And of course if you want to make some changes to it, the Edit button that appears
01:18in the top left corner of this particular spreadsheet.
01:22Click Edit, and the next thing that's going to happen is you'll see a window representing
01:29Microsoft Excel, your table or spreadsheet down below, and then all of the functionality
01:36that's built into Excel at your fingertips.
01:39So when you're done, you simply close this window up and your changes are reflected in
01:43the table or Excel Spreadsheet now that appears on your page in your notebook.
01:49So at any time if you're working with a table and realize you should be working with a full-fledged
01:55spreadsheet, and you need that added functionality, just convert it to an Excel Spreadsheet,
02:00and you're off to the races.

8. Using Writing Tools
Working in Pen mode
00:00OneNote 2013 is one of the only programs in the Office Suite that comes with its own mobile app version.
00:06It's a little bit different than what we're working with here on the computer, but it
00:11does allow you to do things like draw using your finger on a tablet or if you have a touch
00:16screen attached, there's something called Pen mode, and we're going to take a look at it now.
00:20I'll be using a tablet with a stylus, but if you have a touch screen or tablet,
00:24you can follow along with me.
00:26You can still use your mouse as well, just not maybe as accurate.
00:30We're going to use this notebook called Doodle Pad, and we're going to look at the first
00:33section here Pen mode, where we have a page Writing and Drawing.
00:38We're going to go to the Draw tab now to switch modes.
00:41Notice the default mode is Type, but we do have a number of tools.
00:44Here are our pens that we can select, and soon as we do we switch into Pen mode.
00:50Click the dropdown, and you'll see a number of different colors and thicknesses to choose from.
00:55And then down below we see Pen mode as well, and by default you're going to be creating
00:59both Handwriting and Drawings in Pen mode if you want.
01:02If you want to focus on drawings or handwriting, you could switch to those modes as well.
01:07Even Use your Pen as a Pointer.
01:10So let's just leave the default Handwriting and Drawing selected, we'll go to our set
01:14of presets here, and let's go to the second row and select Black.
01:17It's a little bit thicker, and it will be black ink, and now we're ready to start writing and drawing.
01:24So let's just go down below our title into an empty space here, and we'll actually write, we'll do handwriting.
01:32Type in or write in, "This is Pen mode."
01:42Let's switch now to a different color, we'll click the dropdown, and let's go to a thicker
01:46blue, and we'll write, "This is blue ink."
01:53Now if make a mistake, no problem. Just go back to your last Lasso tool here, give it
01:58a tap, and just encircle what you want to remove.
02:04As you get it right around it, press Delete on your keyboard and switch back to Pen mode
02:09by clicking the same ink you were using.
02:13"This is blue and thicker." There we go. Now let's draw a few things.
02:20Now if we wanted to let's say start an org chart, we could start drawing squares, connecting
02:27them with lines, we could start writing inside those squares if we wanted to, or you'll notice
02:33there are number of shapes up here on the ribbon as well, click the dropdown to see
02:37that we have some lines, some Basic Shapes, even Graphs if we wanted to.
02:43In this case it might be good to turn on the Grid.
02:45So let's go to our View tab, give it a tap, we'll go to Rule Lines, click that dropdown
02:51and turn on some Graph paper here.
02:54And now we'll switch back to the Draw tab, let's go to Shapes here, we'll go to the Rectangle
03:00and start drawing some rectangles.
03:02You can see it kind of snaps to the grid. We'll draw some squares first.
03:12And will go back up here and select some lines, just go with the straight line, there we go.
03:20Go up from here and across, keep going and down and release.
03:32So it's a little bit crude, but you can see we're on the right track.
03:35We have the ability to both write things with Pen mode and draw things if we wanted to,
03:41or if you choose you can start using Shapes to make it a little bit more accurate.
03:46But the whole idea is if you're on the move, you're working with a tablet let's say, you
03:50have the ability to take notes using handwriting, doodle things on your page and keeping in
03:56mind that you can turn on Rule Lines to help make things a little bit neater, use Graph paper for drawing.
04:02And that's the beginning of Pen mode, of course. There's a whole bunch of things we can
04:06do with items that we have written or drawn, we'll talk about that next.

Converting handwriting to typed text
00:00Sometimes it's easier to take notes using Pen mode and handwriting but then down the
00:05road to better organize your notes, maybe make them a little easier to read, you might
00:09consider converting them to text, and that's something that OneNote does a very good job of.
00:14We're going to explore it now using our Doodle Pad notebook.
00:17Now, looking at the Converting tab or section, and we're on a page titled, Handwriting to
00:23Type Text where we do see our handwriting, stuff that we've written in the previous movie,
00:29and now if we wanted to simply convert everything on the page to text, we don't select anything,
00:34we simply go to the Draw tab here on the Ribbon and click the Ink to Text button in the Convert section here.
00:42One click and everything is converted, and you can see it's very accurate here.
00:46This is pen mode in black. This is blue and thicker in blue.
00:49It is perfectly converted, and it's inside this container which we can now manipulate.
00:55So, we could size it down, we can move it around if we want, just like any other note
01:02that we would take using our keyboard and typing away.
01:05Let's click the Undo button until we get both of those back.
01:09On occasion, you may want to leave some handwriting and only convert others to text, and in that case,
01:14you'll need to select what you want to convert first.
01:17We'll do that with the Lasso Select tool, give it a click.
01:21Let's just say we want to get our first sentence here, "This is pen mode."
01:24Click and drag around the outside of it, and as you start to encircle it, you can see what's
01:29happening to the content inside the selected area.
01:33It's kind of highlighted or shaded with gray around the outside.
01:38With it highlighted or selected, now when we click Ink to Text, only what was selected
01:43is converted to text, the rest is still handwriting.
01:46So, if you want to have a mix of converted text and handwriting, you can by simply selecting
01:51what you want to convert, otherwise just go to the Ink to Text button, give it a click
01:56and everything on the page will be converted into text.
02:00And as you can see, it does a very good job of recognizing different types of handwriting
02:05and printing and converting it accurately into text.

Manipulating written notes and drawings
00:00Let's take a look now at some of the things you can do with handwriting and anything you've
00:05drawn on the page using some of the drawing tools.
00:09For example, if you wanted to remove portions or maybe adjust other portions, you have full ability to do that.
00:16We're going to start with our handwriting here. "This is pen mode."
00:19"This is blue and thicker."
00:21Over here on the Draw tab of the Ribbon, the very first tool is the Type tool.
00:25I'll make sure it's selected.
00:26That's a standard tool for actually starting to type and enter text.
00:31But if we click anywhere inside our written text, you can see what happens, they get highlighted or selected.
00:38So, if we wanted to, we could take words away by selecting them and hitting our Delete key. Let's hit Undo.
00:47Let's select some text now, the handwriting using our Lasso Select tool, and we'll actually
00:53select all of our handwritten text by clicking and dragging around the outside.
00:58When we release, notice that we have this container, and what's kind of cool about that
01:02is we can move it around, so from anywhere inside, we can move it, maybe a little bit
01:07further over here to the right. We can also size it using the handles.
01:12Let's resize it from the bottom right corner when you see the double-diagonal arrow, click
01:16and drag that in or out, and you can see you're changing the size.
01:21Just drag it in, and there we go. So, it's a little bit smaller.
01:25Now, if go to the far right-hand side with the double arrow, going left to right, click
01:30and drag, you can see we're squeezing it together.
01:33So, although it's handwriting it's being treated like a graphic.
01:36So, you have a full control over as an object when it's selected.
01:42Let's just click the Type tool now and click in the empty space.
01:46Let's say we want to get rid of some of our drawing here.
01:49Well, we can go to the Eraser tool, but click the dropdown to see the different options.
01:55Stroke Eraser is the default, and it will remove entire strokes at a time with one click.
02:00If you go to Small, Medium, or Large, you then need to click and drag the Eraser across portions
02:06that you want to erase. So, let's start with the Stroke Eraser.
02:10We'll go down to this hand-drawn what looks like the beginning of an Org chart, and just
02:16click once on the box at the top. Notice the entire box is removed.
02:20Click the line and the whole line that was drawn is removed.
02:24Let's go our Eraser dropdown now and choose Large Eraser.
02:29Now, as you move around, you actually have an eraser that you need to click and drag to erase.
02:33So, you wouldn't erase the entire stroke.
02:36If you wanted to, you could remove portions of it by clicking and dragging, leaving others behind.
02:43Let's click and drag over all of the hand-drawn Org chart to remove it.
02:50And this also works on things that we've drawn using some of our shapes as well.
02:54So, for example, if we wanted to remove the lines here, we can just click and drag over
02:59the lines themselves and leave the boxes behind.
03:06Now in that case, we probably want to use the Stroke Eraser, so we don't see some of
03:10these little ticks that are left behind. Let's click Undo.
03:14Click it again until we get all our lines back and switch Eraser to the Stroke Eraser.
03:20And now, we'll click the lines, and you can see what happens, the entire stroke is removed
03:24with each click, and we can start over if we wanted to.
03:30All right, some other things that we can do is to arrange some of these things.
03:34Let's go to our Lasso Select tool, and we'll select one of our rectangles, and we'll just move it down.
03:43Let's select one in the bottom left.
03:46Now, if you don't get all the way around it, it won't be highlighted or selected.
03:49You know it is when those handles appear. Just drag it over here.
03:55All right, we'll select the one down below on the right, hit your Delete key.
04:00Next, we'll go over to our Type tool, and we'll click the border.
04:06Notice that when we do that, it's not only highlighted, but we have some options,
04:11Tags, Pen Properties, and Delete.
04:14So if we wanted to, we could change the Pen Properties to maybe something a little thinner,
04:17maybe a different color and click OK. There we go.
04:22Now, if we wanted to, we could right-click and copy this and then just right-click off
04:27to the right and choose Paste.
04:30Now we have a couple of those, and we can rearrange them.
04:36So, I think you have the idea now.
04:38We have the ability to not only draw shapes using shapes from our dropdown but hand-drawn
04:43shapes, handwriting, but we're not stuck with what we're left with.
04:48We can always go back and manipulate, resize, remove.
04:52We can even duplicate and change some of the properties like we did with our boxes here.
04:57So experiment in Pen mode, manipulating both handwriting and things that you draw on the page here in OneNote.

Converting handwriting to math equations
00:00We already know what a great job OneNote does converting your handwriting to text, but if
00:05you're taking math notes, OneNote can do a very good job of converting your handwritten
00:11equations into math equations as well. We're going to take a look at that now.
00:15It's a little bit different than having your handwriting already on the page and then converting it.
00:20If we were to start creating an actual math equation here, let's see what happens.
00:25So, on our blank page in our Doodle Pad notebook on the math section, let's just start writing an equation.
00:32We'll go to Pen mode by choosing a thin black line, and let's do A squared + B squared = C squared, Pythagorean Theorem.
00:48All right, next we'll go up to the Ink to Math button here in the Convert section of the ribbon
00:55and give it a click and look what happens.
00:57It actually opens up a separate window where we need to start writing our math, and we'll
01:01see a preview of it where we can make corrections along the way.
01:05So, it doesn't take what's on your page and convert it.
01:08So, let's click Cancel and see what happens if we click Ink to Text.
01:12Well, you can see that didn't work either. So, we'll just go to our Text or Type tool.
01:19We'll click the border and delete that.
01:22And now we're going to go to Ink to Math and start from here.
01:26So, we write in this little Write math here area, and we'll see a preview up above of
01:32what we're writing just to make sure it's accurate, so let's try that again.
01:38A squared, looks so good so far, + B squared = C squared, perfect. Now, all we have to do is simply insert it.
01:55Now, if there was something wrong here, maybe one of the symbols was incorrect,
01:59we could select it and correct it.
02:01Let's click the Select and Correct tool here and click on the Plus sign.
02:05You can see if we meant to do something different like a T or a Right Arrow, for example,
02:10it simply selects it from here, but the Plus sign is what we want. Everything looks good.
02:14We could erase things, clear the entire thing and start over, but I think I like
02:18what I see so we'll click the Insert button, and you can see it's inserted as an equation,
02:24not a handwritten equation, even though that's how we entered it.
02:28And of course, that gives you access to all of your design tools under Equation Tools here.
02:33Click the Design tab, and you can see all of the equations that we can choose from, the presets.
02:39There is another way to insert an Ink Equation, click that, and it opens up the same window,
02:44if you want to add another one, let's just click Cancel.
02:47And there we have all of our symbols to choose from.
02:50So, you can write your own equations, Basic Math symbols, Greek Letters, look at them all.
02:54You've got everything you need here for creating equations on your page.
02:59We have Fractions if we wanted to, Script, et cetera.
03:04So, if we click down below, we close up that little area where we were working on our math
03:11equation, and if we wanted to add another one, we could go back to the Draw tab, go
03:16to Ink to Math and do it from there, or you could go to Insert, do your Equation from here.
03:23Click the dropdown, choose Insert New Equation, and you can see you can start typing it, but
03:28if you wanted to, you could also choose Ink Equation from here as well.
03:33Let's just click on the border and hit Delete on the keyboard to remove it.
03:38That's a quick look at converting your actual handwriting into math equations,
03:43something again that OneNote is very good at doing.

9. Interacting with Outlook
Inserting Outlook meetings
00:00If you've installed the entire Office Suite for Microsoft Office 2013, and you're working
00:05in OneNote, one of the other things you might use is Outlook for your email and calendar.
00:11And if you are using the calendar to set up meetings and so on, those meetings will have details.
00:17And because you're using the entire Suite together, you're able to grab meeting details
00:22from Outlook and put them into your OneNote notes.
00:24It's a typical scenario, you go to a meeting, you're going to take notes.
00:28Well, OneNote makes it easy to grab those meeting details and add to them here in OneNote.
00:33We're going to do that with our No Obstacles Chapter 9 Notebook looking at the User Conference
00:37section at the Launch Meeting page, and we don't have anything here yet.
00:42And we can start taking our notes, but there's already details attached to the meeting,
00:47like who was in attendance, for example, any items on the agenda.
00:51We can grab those in a couple of different ways.
00:54One option is to go to the Home tab on your ribbon, right at the end click Meeting Details,
00:59and navigate to the meeting.
01:02Now, if what happens be it Today, you'd see it on the list.
01:04If it's not, you can click Choose a Meeting from Another Day, and now you can navigate
01:08through the various days until you find a list of meetings, select the one that you want and insert details.
01:16Another option is to click the Calendar icon and go to a specific day, for example.
01:20If you're having difficulty finding it just click Cancel.
01:23You can do it from Outlook as well. So, let's just switch to Outlook.
01:27You can launch Outlook if you want.
01:29Now, I do have some meeting details showing up here for the 4th of February.
01:34If you wanted to, you could create a new meeting from your Home tab, if you wanted to follow along.
01:40But I do have some meetings, including this meeting that's going to happen on the 4th.
01:45You can see it's User Conference 2013 Launch Meeting.
01:48I can double-click this to open it up and get all of the details here.
01:52If I want to transfer those over to OneNote, well, I could have done it from OneNote,
01:57or I could do it right from here as well.
01:58Notice there is a Meeting Notes button with the OneNote icon.
02:02When I click this, I can choose to share these notes with everyone in the meeting, which
02:08means I'll need a shared Notebook and people will be able to access my notes in my Notebook
02:13or keep it to myself by choosing Take notes on your own.
02:17I'm going to select that one.
02:18Now, it's a matter of choosing where these notes are going to go.
02:21So, if you have multiple Notebooks open, for example, you'd see them listed down below.
02:26You can put them in your Quick Notes if you wanted to temporarily and then put them into the appropriate Notebook.
02:32No Obstacles Chapter 9 is already open, so I can expand it.
02:35There is my User Conference section.
02:38Now, if I just select the section, a new page will be created.
02:42If I click the Expansion button, I can go to a specific page to insert the details there.
02:48So, let's just go to the actual name of the section, User Conference 2013, select it, and click OK.
02:57A new page will be created. Notice we're taken over to OneNote.
03:02We see a warning. Perhaps it could be unsafe if there are hyperlinks, for example.
03:06Do we want to continue? Click Yes.
03:08And you can see, now we've actually got a brand-new page called User Conference 2013
03:13Launch Meeting, and there are the details that came directly from Outlook.
03:17That means if we don't need this Launch Meeting page, we can simply delete it, for example,
03:22and then down below continue taking notes during the meeting.
03:26But we do get all of these details, including links that take us to the Outlook item.
03:32We could also, for example, go to each of the participants and click check boxes,
03:37just to check off who was in attendance.
03:40And if for some reason the meeting got changed, maybe it got changed to a different location,
03:45a different time, for example, no problem.
03:47All you have to do is go over to the page, right-click here, and choose Refresh Meeting
03:52Details for this Page, and you'll always have the most up-to-date information from that meeting.
03:58So, a couple of different ways to get it into OneNote where you can continue to take notes,
04:03all because OneNote is integrated with Outlook.

Sending page info by email
00:00If you have information in one of your Notebooks, maybe this page info that we see here in
00:05the No Obstacles Chapter 9 Notebook, looking at the Project X Section, the Project Overview.
00:10If we want to share this with other people, we have Outlook Integration as far as email goes as well.
00:16We can send this directly to people via email without having to leave OneNote and go to Outlook.
00:22Let's do that with this page information.
00:25One option is to simply go to the Home tab on the ribbon here and click Email Page.
00:30Now when you do that you can see what happens. The information from the page now appears in the email itself.
00:37So, this is the content of the email, it is directly from the page, we could add to it
00:42if we wanted to, we could change the Subject.
00:45Really, all we need to do is type in the name of the addressee and send it off.
00:49Let's close this up, though--that's the Outlook Window, we won't save our changes--and look at another option.
00:56We can go to the File tab and select Send from here, notice that Email Page is an option,
01:03that's the exact same thing we just did from the ribbon.
01:07But if you'd rather send it as an attachment, you could go to this option, click Send as Attachment.
01:13Now you'll be sending the page information as you can see here as an Attachment.
01:18And you can also send it, as you can see here in a web page format, so if people don't have
01:23OneNote, they can still view the information.
01:25So, again it's just a matter of typing in the name of the person you want to send it to,
01:30clicking Send, and off it goes.
01:35So it's up to you whether or not you're going to send the page information as content in an email or as an attachment.

Working with Outlook tasks
00:00Another way OneNote integrates with Outlook is with tasks.
00:05If you're the type of person who likes to create To Do lists in Outlook, maybe send yourself
00:09reminders to get things done, it's a great way to stay organized, you can do it directly from OneNote as well.
00:16So we're going to look at our No-Obstacles Chapter 9 Notebook in the Travel section on
00:20page West Coast Trip, where we do have a few items, one of them is the To-do item, Bring laptop and pico projector.
00:28Let's just click anywhere in the line, if we want to turn this into an Outlook Task,
00:31we just go up to Outlook Tasks here in the ribbon with the Home Selected, click the dropdown,
00:37and look at all the different choices.
00:38A Tasks that needs to be completed Today, Tomorrow, This Week, notice the keyboard shortcuts,
00:43Ctrl+Shift+1, 2, 3, 4, 5, all the way to No Date.
00:48We can set up a Custom task as well, keeping in mind all of these to-do items will appear in Outlook.
00:53So, while you're working in Outlook, you'll see your OneNote tasks as well.
00:57Let's say this is one for Next Week, we could click Next Week, or let me show you something different.
01:04Let's just click inside our Note here and go to the left of the dash, beside Bring the laptop
01:10and pico projector, and click the marker that highlights the entire line which displays
01:16the mini toolbar, including the red flag for Outlook Tasks.
01:21Give it a click, and you can see everything that we just saw from the ribbon appears here as well.
01:27Let's make it a Tasks for Next Week, give it a click, flag shows up next to it, we can
01:32click off to the side here to see what that looks like.
01:35So, we now have an Outlook Tasks in Outlook, want to see it just click anywhere on the
01:39line, and go to Outlook Tasks, and you'll notice we can now open that task in Outlook, give it a click.
01:47It's going to open up a window representing the Tasks where we can make some adjustments.
01:52Bring, I am going to change Bring to Pack, I'm also going to set a Reminder, I want to
02:00remind myself, let's say a little bit early.
02:02I am going to change the Calendar Date, the day before, 8:00 a.m. is fine, and all I need
02:10to do now is save and close my changes.
02:14When I do, that task in Outlook is going to look a little bit different than it does here,
02:19which is Bring laptop and pico projector.
02:21If we flip over to Outlook and go to our Tasks list or To Do list, give it a click,
02:28you'll see there it is, Pack laptop and pico projector. It has a Reminder.
02:32If I wanted to, I can go in here to Mark it as Complete, or select it to make additional changes.
02:37I am just going to flip back to OneNote here, and at any time if I wanted to I could click
02:43in the line, go back to Outlook Tasks, and Mark it as Complete.
02:49When I do, I know it's still a Task that's been completed, because the check mark now appears next to it.
02:56If I totally want to remove it, I can do that too. Just click again anywhere on the line,
03:01go to Outlook Tasks on the ribbon, and choose to Delete Outlook Tasks.
03:06Not only is it removed as a task here on your page in OneNote, but also if we go back
03:11to Outlook, you'll notice that that task no longer exists.
03:15So, it's a nice little integration for things that need to get done between Outlook and OneNote 2013.

10. Sharing a Notebook
Saving to other formats
00:00When you want to share Notebook content with other people, there are so many different ways you can do it.
00:06We're going to look at one option that allows you to export your content to a format that
00:11people will be able to access on their own computers.
00:14We'll do so with our No Obstacles Chapter 10 Notebook, and we are going to be looking at
00:18the Meetings section, doesn't matter what page we're looking at this point.
00:23Let's go to the File tab, and it's from here were you'll find Export.
00:28Now by choosing Export, you can choose to Export just the Page you were looking at.
00:32Look at the formats you can export to.
00:35OneNote, Old and New, there's also Word Formats, the new .docx Format or if you are not sure
00:44if the person is using an older version of Microsoft Word that .doc Format.
00:49There is also PDF and XPS, Read-only formats, and we can even export to a single web page format.
00:57If we go to Section, we are going to see all of those Formats as well.
01:02However, when we go to Notebook, if we wanted to send them the entire Notebook, we are very limited.
01:08We could send it as an OneNote Package and they could view it with an OneNote Viewer
01:13or if they have OneNote, open it up in OneNote.
01:17We could also choose those Read-only formats as PDF and XPS, we will talk about that in an upcoming movie.
01:23Let's go back to Section.
01:25Now all we have to do is choose a Format, let's say we know they have Microsoft Word,
01:28we're not sure what version, so to play it safe, we'll choose Word 97 to 2003, the old .doc format.
01:34With that selected, we can click Export, and now all we have to do is
01:39choose where it's going to go. Let's choose the Desktop so it's easy to find.
01:45We might want to send it as an email attachment when we're done.
01:48The File name is automatically going to be the same name as the Section, which was Meetings.
01:53I'm going to change that to OneNoteMeetings, OneNoteNoObstacles, there we go.
02:03Notice Current Section is selected because of our original selection, but we could change our minds here.
02:09We could choose Selected Pages or Current Notebook, keeping in mind if we switch to
02:14Current Notebook, we won't be able to save as a Word document. We will be forced to change
02:19the Format by clicking this dropdown and choosing, for example, PDF, XPS, or OneNote Single File Package.
02:28All right, so we will keep it as the Current Section, going to a Word Document, New File name, when
02:33we click Save, it's actually going to be saved to the location as a Word document that we
02:39could then send off to people via email as an attachment.
02:42They will be able to view the contents, but they won't be sharing the Notebook, per se.
02:47We will just be sharing the content in our Notebook with those other people.
02:51So, those are some of formats you can choose to Export to, if you want to go that route.
02:56Of course, there are other options for Formats and other methods as well that we will get into
03:02as we move through the various movies in this chapter.

Saving OneNote content to PDF or XPS
00:00If you want to share some of your content in a Notebook--maybe the entire Notebook
00:04even with people, but you want to share it in a format that they'll be able to read,
00:09not necessarily make changes to--you might choose one of the couple formats you can choose
00:14to Export from here in OneNote, and that is PDF or XPS.
00:18We are going to do that with our No Obstacles Chapter 10 Notebook, really doesn't matter
00:23what section or what page you are looking at, because we are going to go to the File
00:27tab and send the entire Notebook as a PDF. Now there are a couple of options here.
00:32If you go to Send, you will notice we can Send this Notebook as a PDF. It will be converted
00:38and attached to a new email that we can send off to people.
00:42If you wanted to, though, you could simply go to Export and handle that later.
00:46From here we can export the page we were looking at, the entire section or the whole Notebook,
00:52and if we choose Notebook, notice that PDF and XPS are options we can choose.
00:58Portable document format typically opened up with Adobe Reader in a read-only format
01:03here in Windows 8, we have a built-in reader that will read PDF files, as well as the Microsoft version of PDF, XPS.
01:12Let's choose PDF, it's a little more popular, and then Export.
01:16Now just a matter of choosing where we're going to send this to, I like the Desktop, makes it easy to find.
01:23The name of the file is going to be the same as the name of your Notebook.
01:26In this case, No Obstacles Chapter 10, there's the Format, and there's our selection of Current Notebook.
01:32When we click Save, depending on the size of your Notebook and what's contained therein,
01:37it could take several minutes, it could just be a few seconds.
01:42In the end, though, you will end up with a PDF copy of your Notebook.
01:45Of course, it won't be as well organized with Sections and Pages in those Sections; instead,
01:50it is going to be more of a document that flows from Page 1 to the end.
01:54So, we'll take a look at what this looks like once it's done converting to PDF.
01:58Again, it's a read-only format, a great way to share our contents with others without sharing the Notebook itself.
02:05So, there's mine on my Desktop. I'll double- click it, I'm in Windows 8, this launches Reader,
02:12and there's my first page.
02:14And as you can see, it's got the ruled lines just like we did in OneNote and over here
02:18on the right-hand side I have a scrollbar that allow me to scroll through the various pages.
02:23Altogether, there are 69 pages in this document, based on all of the pages and all of the sections of my Notebook.
02:32Most of these are empty, but as we scroll through, we'll eventually see some with content in there.
02:37I am going to through all of our Meetings. There is a Staff Meeting with some information,
02:43we see the Dates and Times that were created right from the Notebook itself.
02:48Here's our User Conference Launch Meeting, West Coast Trip, and then we get into some
02:55content where we had actually been pasting content from other sources into our pages.
03:01Here is an Itinerary and so on.
03:05So, when we're done, simply in Windows 8, hit our Windows key on the keyboard, we'll
03:11go back to the Desktop, which is where we find OneNote running, just minimized down here,
03:17and we're back to our Notebook.
03:19So, we haven't actually shared our Notebook, but rather, the contents of our Notebook
03:24in a read-only format, PDF, or XPS.

Saving to SkyDrive
00:00One of the best and easiest ways to share a Notebook with other people is to put it in the Cloud.
00:06And here in OneNote 2013 there are a couple of ways to do that, one of them is to use
00:10SkyDrive, a free storage area that everybody gets with their Microsoft Soft account.
00:15So, if you're signed in, you'll see your name in the top right-hand corner, signed into
00:20your Microsoft account, also we're going to be working with our No Obstacles Chapter 10 Notebook here.
00:26And if we want to share it with other people, we can move it to SkyDrive, because it already
00:31exists, we need to move it there by going to the File tab and here we'll see No Obstacles
00:37Chapter 10 with a link to share on the web or network.
00:42We also have a Share option right here, we have a Settings dropdown, where you'll find
00:46Share or Move, and we even have Share over here on the left-hand side.
00:51So, if we click Share over here, you'll see the default is your SkyDrive.
00:55Again, if you are logged in, you'll see your name ahead of SkyDrive.
00:59Also, over here you'll see the name of the Current Notebook that is about to be moved.
01:04We move it by clicking the Move Notebook button.
01:07Now if you want to move it to a different folder than the default, which is your documents
01:11folder on SkyDrive, you can click the link down below to Move it into a different folder.
01:15But let's just accept the default for now. We'll click Move Notebook, it just takes
01:21a moment to sync up your changes.
01:24Then you'll see this message that your Notebook is now syncing to the new location, and when
01:28you click OK, it's on SkyDrive, and we know that because some new options appear.
01:34Notice we can invite people to share this Notebook, we can get a Sharing Link, Share
01:39with Meeting, or if we want to Move the Notebook now, we can do it to choose a different folder.
01:46In the next lesson we will talk about inviting people to share your Notebook that you have stored on SkyDrive.

Inviting others and syncing notebooks
00:00When you decide to move a notebook to SkyDrive that is to place it in the Cloud where it's
00:05shareable with others, you're left with this screen where you're ready to start inviting
00:10people, creating links, sharing meetings with others, and even have the ability to move the
00:15notebook back or to another folder from here.
00:18But if we hit the Back button we're simply working on our notebook that we placed in
00:22a new location, SkyDrive.
00:24We know that it's in a location that is shareable and syncable, because of the icon that
00:29now appears over the notebook icon in the top left corner next to the name of our notebook, No Obstacles Chapter 10.
00:37Now of course at any time we can go back and invite additional people.
00:41Let's go back to the File tab and for No Obstacles Chapter 10, we now have a link to invite people
00:47to this notebook, let's give it a click.
00:50Now we're back where we were left when we first move the notebook to SkyDrive.
00:55Invite People is the first option under Share, and it's just a simple matter of adding names
01:00or email addresses, you do have a link to your contacts if you have people stored there
01:05where you can select them, or just type in an email address, that's what I'm going to do,
01:09and just start to type in drivers@lynda.com, there we go.
01:14If I wanted some additional names, I could add them here, add a personal message,
01:20I'm sharing this notebook with you. You will be able to edit it.
01:30Okay, so we do have the ability from this dropdown to choose whether or not the people were
01:34sharing our notebook with will be able to edit it or just simply view it.
01:39With Edit selected, people will be able to make changes.
01:42Do we need them to sign in with their Microsoft account before they access or not?
01:48That's up to you, you can deselect the check box which is the default.
01:52And now it just a matter of clicking Share, and when you do, emails are going to be sent
01:56out to the people you've added to that list and they'll know that they'll be actually
02:01access and edit this notebook because of the options we selected.
02:05As for you the owner of this notebook, you'll see your own name down below and anyone you're
02:10sharing with, you'll also see what they're able to do.
02:14Now another option is to simply get a sharing link. When you click this option, you'll see
02:19links can be created for viewing and editing the document, let's say we want to create
02:24a link for people that we can send this out to, so they can view the actual notebook,
02:29not make changes to it. We click Create Link off to the right next to View.
02:33And you can see the link that's created, and we can now send out to people who we think
02:38should be able to view this notebook, very cool.
02:41We already talked about setting up meetings Share with Meeting is another option, we can
02:47see the Share with Meeting button that will allow people a link to the notes that will
02:52be share with anyone in a meeting, so if you have a look meeting and meeting details,
02:57they'll be added to the notes pages as well. We already talk about that in a previous movie,
03:01this is another way to get there.
03:03And again, if you wanted to move the notebook to another folder or move it back so it's
03:08not shareable, click Move Notebook, you'll see a message here indicating that you could
03:14have issues if you're moving a notebook that you've already shared with others.
03:18You'll see some sync issues perhaps, and there is a link to learn more about sharing or moving shared notebooks.
03:24We just go back to Invite People at any time, we can add more people, and you can also remove people.
03:30Just go down and right-click a name that maybe that person should no longer have access,
03:35right-click, choose Remove User, or if you simply want to change their permission
03:40you can do that from here, maybe this should only be able to view it, because they had
03:45edit capabilities it's automatically change to view.
03:50And in the end when you no longer want to share with anyone, right-click and choose Remove
03:54User that'll be remove from the list.
03:57We can also remove that link that we sent out, so people can no longer get into the
04:01notebook to view it, let's right-click and choose Disable Link.
04:07Now we're back to working on a notebook that's in SkyDrive, but only we have access to it.
04:13We'll hit our Back button to go back to the notebook itself, and that's just how you invite
04:17people to share in the notebook you've placed on SkyDrive.

Creating a shared notebook
00:00Another way to share notebooks with others is to share them as you create them.
00:05When creating a new notebook, if you know it's going to be shared, you can choose to place
00:09it in a location that's shareable like SkyDrive, and that's we're going to do right now.
00:13So it doesn't matter if you have any notebooks open at this point, we're going to go to the File tab and select New.
00:20Notice the default at the very top of the list is SkyDrive, and if you're already logged
00:24into your Microsoft account, you're going to see the account name in front of SkyDrive,
00:29it's just a matter now of creating a notebook name.
00:32So, let's call this No Obstacles Sport and Create Notebook.
00:41Now when you create your new notebook, of course just like we used to, you're going to have
00:45a new blank notebook with a new section and a blank page, but before you get there you're
00:50prompted to invite people, which you can do right now on the fly or choose Not now
00:56and go back and do it later.
00:58Let's invite one person by clicking Invite people, takes us to the Invite People link
01:04that we saw earlier in a previous movie when inviting people to an existing notebook,
01:09and again all we have to do is type in their email addresses or their names or go to our
01:14contacts to access them from there.
01:17I am going to invite drivers@lynda.com, and I'm going to make sure that this guy can edit
01:22the notebook, not just view it.
01:25No need for personal message, I'll just click Share, and my new notebook called No Obstacles
01:30Sport is created, it's created in a location that is shareable, SkyDrive, and I'm going
01:36to see the people I've shared it with on the fly down below, so all I need to do now is
01:42click the Back button to go back to my new notebook, there's the new section,
01:46the new untitled page, and I'm sharing.
01:48Now the other thing you can do is go back to the File tab, of course, at any time.
01:53With our new notebook we can invite people, but we can also just go to our Settings here and Sync it up.
02:01If we know we're making changes, and we want to make sure that people we're sharing with
02:06we'll see those changes, we can choose Sync at any time, and it'll automatically be synched up instantaneously.
02:13Now we can also go to the dropdown here for No Obstacles Sport and change between open notebooks,
02:17and of course when you do that, a notebook that stays open will automatically be synched.
02:24Let's take a look at some of the settings.
02:26We'll go back to the File tab here and for our new one called No Obstacles Sport, let's go to Sync Status.
02:34To view sync status we're going to be viewing it for any open notebooks, and you can see
02:38for No Obstacles Sport here everything is up to date, but we can sync it up right now
02:43from here as well, or we can choose to sync up another notebook or simply sync them all up by clicking Sync All.
02:52You'll notice the default up here is to sync automatically whenever there are changes.
02:57If you want to change that to a manual sync, you can do that by clicking the radio button
03:01next to Sync manually, you'll see little Xs next to each of your open notebooks.
03:06I like the automatic syncing, so whenever I make changes I know they're going to be
03:11synced up on SkyDrive and anyone that I'm sharing the notebook with will see the latest.
03:17When we're done we just click Close, and we're back to working on our notebook.
03:22So, you can create a shared notebook on the fly, you can invite people as you're creating
03:28your notebook, and of course you can always go back and invite people again if you want
03:32to add to the list, remove from the list, or edit their permissions.

11. Collaborating on a Notebook
Knowing who wrote what with author indicators
00:00When sharing notebooks with others maybe to collaborate on a project, for example, it's
00:05always nice to be able to know whose made what changes where and when, and you have
00:10easy access to this information in OneNote 2013. In fact, when you share a notebook and
00:15somebody accesses it, makes a change, you are automatically going to know where that happened.
00:20As you'll see by indicators that show up as we see in our NO_Chapter 11 notebook here
00:25in the very first section meetings, very first page, you can see this highlighting down
00:30the right-hand side with initials.
00:32You won't see your own initials, like I don't see mine right now, but you probably do.
00:37As I hover over this, I see it's Karen Leslie who made the modification to these two lines
00:43on this date, at this time.
00:45Now that information is displayed by default. If you're not seeing it, you may need to go
00:50to the History tab, here's where we can choose to hide and show author information.
00:55Clicking this button will hide the information, if it's showing, clicking it again will toggle it back on.
01:01Now that's just happens to be the very first page of the first section, so we're seeing it.
01:05But are there other changes made by this author or any other author for that matter?
01:10To find out, we can click the Find by Author button here in the History section of this particular ribbon.
01:17And when we do that, it opens up a Search Results pane on the right-hand side and all it's doing
01:22is searching the notebook and sorting by author.
01:25You can see there are a couple of authors here, and each one of them has an expansion and a collapse arrow.
01:31So for David Rivers, for example, if we click the expansion arrow, you can see all of the
01:35of the changes and edits that were made, and you can see them listed here by date.
01:41Let's collapse that and focus on this other person that we shared with by clicking the
01:45dropdown, we can see links to the various changes.
01:50So the Monthly Manager Meeting link which we're looking at right now is very obvious,
01:54because it's the first page, but this one here, User Conference Launch, if we click that
01:58link takes us to the section, you can see down here there was a change, it looks like something was deleted.
02:05So that's how easily we can find author information, who made what changes, and when.
02:10When we're done, we just close up this pane.
02:13And let's go back to our Meetings tab here with the Monthly Manager Meeting page selected,
02:20and let's hide the author information. We no longer need it, we can continue working on our notebook.
02:25Now if you're sharing this over SkyDrive, for example, as changes are being made by
02:29various authors, you'll see that information popping up so long as the Hide Authors indicators
02:36are turned on and not off.
02:38Now of course there are other things that we can do to see what was changed, and when,
02:44and even compare. We'll continue working on collaboration in the next lesson.

Locating newly added content with highlighting
00:00We learned in the previous movie that when we collaborate on notebooks with other people
00:04and share them, it's easy to find out who did what and when by finding information
00:11by author, but we can also just locate recent edits by anybody to see what's changed recently
00:17in a notebook. We're going to continue to work with our NO_Chapter 11 notebook.
00:21Now it all depends when you open up this notebook how recent the edits were.
00:26For me, I'm going to go to the Recent Edits dropdown here on the History tab of the ribbon
00:32and from here I can see any edits that were made today, let's say.
00:36When I click that a pane opens up, and you can see highlighted sections where changes
00:40were made, and you'll actually see highlighting in the document itself where those changes were made.
00:48So a change was made to the User Conference Launch. I can click that link and see that
00:52all it is is something was removed down here.
00:55I can go back to the Monthly Manager Meetings and see things that were highlighted here.
01:00I also see author information, if that's still turned on.
01:03But it's a quick way to see what sections, what pages, for example, have changes.
01:09They're all listed here in the Search Results pane, and I can click links to get there quickly.
01:13Now for you, obviously if you're not opening it on the same day as me, you won't see recent
01:18changes made today, you can go to the dropdown and try Since Yesterday, you can see there
01:25is actually some extra changes here that we're made yesterday, and if I click the dropdown
01:30and go to the last 7 days, a lot of changes were made in the last 7 days, so for you--depending when you open this up--
01:37you'll have to go down to something perhaps, even the last 3 months or 6 months if
01:42you want to be able to see all of the changes, and in this case everything is highlighted.
01:46This entire notebook was created within the last couple of months.
01:50Now that's just for me, but as we continue going through time opening up this notebook
01:55making changes to it, we'll always be able to see the recent edits by going to the dropdown
01:59and selecting the appropriate timeframe.
02:02This will allow us to quickly go to the areas where changes were made. I like that feature.
02:07When we're done we just simply close up the Search Results pane and return to our notebook,
02:12I'm going to go back to the Monthly Manager Meetings page here under the Meeting section.
02:17So remember, from the History tab the recent edits will allow you to quickly find what's
02:22been change, especially if you're collaborating on a notebook with one or more other people.
Collapse this transcript
Seeing past versions quickly with versioning
00:00Another way to keep track of changes made to a Notebook you're collaborating with others
00:05on is to look at versions.
00:08Versions of the different pages in a section. For example, with our NO_Chapter 11 Notebook
00:14open here on the Meetings section, we can go to the History tab of the ribbon and click Page Versions.
00:21Now if we click the top portion, we're going to see Versions, if we click the dropdown,
00:24we will see other options.
00:26So, Page Versions is the default, but we can also Delete All Versions in a Section,
00:32in an entire Notebook, even Disable History for The Notebook, if we don't care about Versioning,
00:37if we don't care about recent edits and authors.
00:40So, let's just go up to Page Versions, and you'll see what happens, right away there
00:45are some highlighting going on in this particular page.
00:48Over here on the right-hand side, you'll see a couple of different options getting highlighted
00:53over here and who the author is.
00:55So, if we select one, you'll notice a message across the top that this is an older version
01:00of the page that will be deleted over time.
01:04We can click here to restore this as the main page or see more options by clicking right up here.
01:09As we go to the second option, you can see in this case, it's not available yet.
01:14In other words, it was added from another device that didn't finish synching, so you
01:18might see that message, you might not.
01:21And as we go back to the older version, we can choose again to click this message to
01:27Restore, Delete this Older Version, Copy it, and then we have all of the other version
01:33options that we saw from the History tab.
01:36So, we won't select anything from there. Let's go back to the Page Version button and just
01:40give the top portion a click, you can see it turns off the versions, they disappear over here on the right.
01:46We can go to any section and do that, turn on Page Versions for our User Conference,
01:51and you can see there is something up here, this is an older version.
01:55Let's go to the message and delete this older version, so we are left with the latest, doesn't
02:00look a whole lot different.
02:02And we can do that for any section that we like, and eventually, if we want just go to
02:07the dropdown, Delete All Versions in the Section or the entire Notebook if we wanted to,
02:13but it will be deleted, older versions are deleted over time.
02:16So, you don't really have to worry about it. It is just nice to know that you can go and look at those versions
02:21if you're collaborating on a Notebook to see older versions of the same page, for example,
02:26even restore those if you need to.

12. Modifying OneNote Options
Setting display options
00:00Here in OneNote 2013, there are number of default settings or options that of course
00:04you have full control over and can change at any time.
00:08We're going to begin with Display Options.
00:11We've already talked a little bit about the ribbon and how we can go to the top-right
00:15corner, click this little icon to choose how our ribbon will be displayed.
00:20Will it show all the tabs and commands at all time?
00:22In other words, stay expanded, the way we have it now, or are you happy with only seeing the tabs?
00:29This gives you a little extra space to work with, and you'll see the ribbon commands when you click a tab.
00:36When you go back to your document, it's rolled up, so you always have that extra space, and
00:41in fact, some people will go to this icon and choose Auto-hide, you won't even see the
00:46tabs until you move your mouse up there and select one.
00:50I like to have access to the Tabs and Commands at all times, so I can see them, and that's
00:55why I have selected that third option.
00:58Now there are more we can do with the ribbon, and this little bar that appears above it--
01:03called the Quick Access Toolbar--gives us quick access to some the commands we might use most
01:08often, like Undo, which appears there, the Back button for navigating, and Docked Window.
01:14But if you click this little dropdown icon, you'll see some other ones that can be added.
01:18If you like Redo, and maybe you do a lot of printing, we can go down to Print and select it.
01:26Now there is a limited list of commands here to choose from, but we can always go down
01:30to the More Commands if we want to have access to every command available to us.
01:35Notice this is a shortcut for going to the File tab, going to Options, and selecting Quick Access Toolbar.
01:40By default we are going to see Popular Commands, but we can change that
01:45to maybe Commands not found on the Ribbon, All Commands, or just Commands found in the
01:52various tabs of the Ribbon if we wanted to.
01:54If we go to All Commands, we will see a list of every possible command that could be added
01:59to the Quick Access Toolbar.
02:01So, maybe one of the options that you like to have access to is Emptying your Recycle Bin,
02:07we will select that, click Add, and it gets added to the others that are on Display
02:12in our Quick Access Toolbar.
02:13And of course, we can move those around, maybe Redo belongs up with Undo.
02:20And maybe print isn't actually something we do a lot of in OneNote.
02:23So, we will select it and choose Remove.
02:25When we're done, all we've to do is click a OK to save those changes, but before we do,
02:31notice we can also Customize the Ribbon.
02:34Again, we have access to All the Commands, Popular, All, File Tab Commands, those not
02:40found on the Ribbon, and we can simply click Command that we want to add and select what Tab,
02:48what Section it's going to be added to.
02:51But we can also create New Tabs, New Groups within those Tabs and Add Commands to those,
02:57and in fact, we are kind of forced to with some of them.
03:00We can't really play around with the default main tabs.
03:03So, if we wanted to, we can create a New Tab.
03:07Notice it's called New Tab, and there's a New Group here.
03:10Let's just click where it says New Tab, and we'll right-click that and rename it.
03:17Let's call this by our First Name, Daves, and OK.
03:23Now there is a New Group here. We can right-click it as well and Rename it.
03:28When we do that you can see the Display name is New Group, down below it's highlighted,
03:32so we can type right over it.
03:33I am going to type in Faves, and now it's just a matter of choosing my favorite commands
03:39and adding them, like Email Page, I want to add it to my Faves.
03:45Maybe Drawing with Touch, add that one, and the Format Painter is something I love to use,
03:51I'll Add that one as well.
03:53So, we have made some changes to our Quick Access Toolbar and the Ribbon.
03:57When we click OK, we are going to see those changes, there is the Dave's Tab,
04:03there's my Faves right there, notice the changes to the Quick Access Toolbar as well.
04:09Let's click the dropdown here and go to More Commands.
04:14Now at any time we can access our options here to make changes. I am going to take out
04:18the Recycle Bin, remove it, remove Redo, I only use Undo, and I am kind of back where I started.
04:25I am going to go over to the Customize Ribbon, of course at any time, we can just simply
04:31reset, go to Customization, click the Reset dropdown, and Reset all Customizations.
04:37So, it's going to Delete All Ribbon and Quick Access Toolbar Customizations from here when we click Yes.
04:44As we go back to the Quick Access Toolbar, you are going to see we have a Reset Option
04:49from here as well, which again resets not just the Quick Access Toolbar but the Ribbon as well.
04:54I will click OK, and we are back where we started.
04:57So just so you know, you have full access to those options so that you create the display
05:03that works best for your needs.

Changing email options
00:00When it comes to Outlook integration with OneNote, you already know you can send things
00:05to OneNote from Outlook, like email, messages, or meeting details, for example.
00:11But you can also send things from OneNote to people, and we are going to take a look
00:15at some of those Default settings that can be adjusted.
00:19Really it doesn't matter what Notebook you have open, I'm working with NO_Chapter 12 here,
00:23but let's click the File tab, next we will go down to Options at the bottom and click there.
00:29And next, let's go to Send To OneNote, select that, and you'll notice there are a number
00:35of Outlook items, Email Messages, Meeting Notes, Contact Notes, and Task Notes.
00:42When you go to Send from Outlook to OneNote, notice you'll always be asked or prompted
00:48where to send that information, so you can pick and choose the section and the page.
00:53But maybe you want Email Messages to go to a Default Location.
00:56You can click the dropdown for Email Messages and always have it go to the Current Page,
01:02or to a new page that gets created in the current section, or you could select a default location,
01:07it could be in the Notebook that's opened, it could be your Quick Notes if you wanted to,
01:12so they always go to your Quick Notes, you could pick a section, you could pick an actual
01:17page, click OK, and that will be the new default.
01:22But if you prefer to be prompted, just go back to the dropdown and select Always ask where to send.
01:28Just want to let you know that for Email Messages, Meeting Notes, Contact Notes, and your Tasks Notes,
01:33that is the default, but each one of them can be changed to your specific desired needs.
01:39All right, next let's go to Advance, because here there is an Email section as well as we scroll down.
01:45For any Email Sent from OneNote, you can see the current defaults. For example,
01:50Attach a copy of the Original Note as OneNote file is not selected.
01:54But if you wanted to, if you're sending something from one of your pages, and you want it to
01:58be sent as OneNote file every time, you can click this check box. I prefer not to.
02:05Also Embedded Files, you can attach embedded files to the Email Message as a separate file.
02:11So, if you're working with a section in the page that has an embedded file, it can also
02:15be sent as a separate file that is the default.
02:19And then also you'll notice when sending Email directly from OneNote, there's going to be
02:23a signature line attached and created at the bottom, created with Microsoft OneNote 2013.
02:30Now you can turn that off if you want to or leave it on and change the message.
02:35I am going to choose Created by David Rivers with Microsoft OneNote 2013.
02:42And when we click OK, we've made changes to those settings.
02:47We can always go back and change them back if we want to, but that's where you go, under
02:51your File tab and Options to change your Outlook and Email options here in OneNote 2013.

Password protection
00:00One handy feature in OneNote 2013, especially when you're collaborating with others
00:05and sharing Notebooks is the ability to password protect sections of the Notebook.
00:09That's what we're going to look at now, including the password protection default options you have access to.
00:15First, let's go to a section that maybe not everyone should have access to unless we provide them with the password.
00:21Let's go to Project X here. We'll select that section by clicking the tab.
00:27If we wanted to, we could go to the Review tab on the ribbon and click Password from
00:32here or we could right-click a section and choose Password Protect This Section from here.
00:38Either way, we're going to see the Password Protection pane open up on the right-hand side.
00:42And here's where we go to set a password for this section only.
00:47When we click Set Password, we just need to type it in twice and click OK and it's password protected.
00:54Let's do that.
00:55You can type in whatever password you want, tab down to the Confirm Password field and
01:00type in the exact same thing, click OK.
01:04So it's now password-protected, I know that, because I can come over here to change the
01:08password or totally remove the password.
01:12Look down below, you'll notice once you unlock Password Protected sections, they stay unlocked
01:16for a while, that's a default setting that can be changed.
01:19And we also have the ability using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+L, or clicking the Lock All
01:24button to lock all sections right now, and all that means is people won't have access
01:30to the Notebook if we need to temporarily disable access.
01:33All right, let's see what happens now if we go to another section and come back to Project X
01:38and try to make a change. Let's change it to Project X Overview.
01:44No problem, so it's still unlocked, it's unlocked for a while.
01:49And that's because one of the default settings.
01:51You can access those settings by going to Password Options down below in this pane.
01:57But if the pane is not open, you can also go to a File tab, down to Options, click there,
02:04and in the Advanced section you'll find a Passwords Section here as we scroll down, there you go.
02:11So there is at information that Ctrl+Alt+L will lock all sections now.
02:15But check out the option with the check mark.
02:18Lock password protected sections after I've not worked in them for the following amount of time.
02:24So when we move to another section, the section that was password protected stayed Unlocked
02:30for 10 minutes, that's the default.
02:33If you don't like that, here's an option, Lock password-protected sections as soon as
02:37you navigate away from them.
02:39That means going back to our section that was password protected, to make a change we
02:43would have needed the password.
02:46Now another option is to choose a different amount of time.
02:49From as quick as 1 minute all the way up to a Day.
02:53I'm going to leave it at 10.
02:55Also if there any add in programs being used to access Password Protected sections, you
03:00can see that is Enabled when they are unlocked, not while they are locked.
03:06All right, so these are options that can be adjusted as you need to click OK to save any changes you've made.
03:13That's a quick look at Password Protection.
03:15I'm going to take out the X for Project Overview.
03:17I'm going to remove the password, I no longer need to protect this section.
03:22So clicking Remove Password will not just simply remove it until I provide the password,
03:28so I know that not anyone can just simply go in here and remove the password, they need
03:32to know the password to be able to do this.
03:34So we type that in, press Enter or click OK, and you can see that it's been removed because
03:41the buttons changed to Set Password. Let's close up this pane and return to our Meetings tab.

Setting backup options
00:00The Last set of default options we're going to take a look at now deals with saving and backing up.
00:06You may not be aware that your Notebooks are actually being backed up at a certain interval to a default location.
00:13I'm going to take a look at those now. I have the NO_Chapter 12 Notebook open.
00:18But at this point it really doesn't matter what you're looking at.
00:21We're going to go to the File tab and click Options down at the bottom.
00:24Next, we're going to go to Save and Backup.
00:29And from here you're going to see in the Save section, for example, the Quick Notes default location.
00:34For me it's--as you could see--on live.net. In other words, it's in the cloud.
00:40There is also a Backup folder, and as you click that you can see exactly where it is.
00:45You'll probably see your own hard drive here, and you can see it's in the Microsoft OneNote subdirectories.
00:53So obviously, there is a Backup Folder. That would mean that my Notebooks are being backed up.
00:59Well, if we click Modify we can change the location, but it's down below, where we see
01:04that our Notebooks are automatically getting backed up at the following interval, every week.
01:11Now if you prefer to have them backed up in a different interval, just click the dropdown,
01:16and you could go to as short as 1 minute, all the way up to 6 weeks down at the bottom.
01:25I prefer to have my Notebooks backed up pretty much every day.
01:29So I'm going to click 1 Day and change that option.
01:33We can also choose to have any Notebooks that we have on SharePoint backed up as well.
01:37But typically SharePoint has its own backup options, and that's why this check box is not selected.
01:43Notice there is also a Number of Backup Copies that can be kept.
01:47The default set to 2.
01:49So I could go back as far as 2 Days worth of Notebooks if I needed to.
01:55If I wanted to backup any changed files, I can do that right now from here.
02:00And I can choose to backup all my Notebooks right now by clicking this button as well.
02:04So you can backup at any time.
02:06You can also set up the interval where automatic backups happen and exactly where those backup Notebooks will show up.
02:14When you're done, just click OK to save any changes you've made.
02:18Notice one or more of the settings that I changed might not take full effect until
02:23the next time I start OneNote.
02:25So to see the effects immediately, you should be exiting OneNote and re-launching it.
02:31I'm not too worried about that right now. I'll wait 'til the next time I close up OneNote
02:35and re-launch, knowing that my new changes will take effect then.
