Practical solution

Its really nice to have a method to save a lot of random data, often with illustrations. One Note allows me to bring in data from a multitude of resources, and organize it in a way that allows me to find it easily. Its an easy to use, but very effective, solution to my needs.

Great organization tool

This is my first experience with the OneNote product from Microsoft and it's been a good one. At first I just jumped right in and started trying to use it without any orientation nor reading of the documentation. That was OK but the product is so flexible that I had a hard time figuring out how to use it best. Then I read somewhere that it's like a really great electronic 3-ring binder and I started using it as such.

It's installed on Vista Ultimate on my laptop (Fujitsu N6420) and it has become a staple part of my software toolkit. I use it for everything from research to meeting notes to shopping notes to web surfing to glorified clipboard... The list is almost endless. It's the greatest "catch-all" tool I have.

I particularly like the fact that it handles hand-drawn graphics via my Wacom digitizing pad. I use that to both create new visual ideas as well as to annotate existing documents in OneNote.

It seems very stable - it's never once hung or complained about anything I've shoved into it.

Very highly recommended.

Not enough superlatives for OneNote 2007

As a productivity coach and a Tablet PC aficionado, I used One Note 2003 extensively. I found it an outstanding tool for taking notes using a tablet PC. I enjoyed being able to take notes and easily search them and convert them to text as needed. However, beyond the Tablet PC, I found it's usefulness limited.

Not so with 2007. Microsoft has now made this product as indispensable as Word or Outlook, in my opinion. For instance, I just "inserted as file" a scan from a Magazine I took almost a year ago. OneNote 2007 instantly indexed the article and made it a searchable part of my archive. The same can be done with business cards.

now, imagine that same search functionality with Live audio! You can record meeting sessions and have OneNote index the audio while the computer is idle. Viola! Instant search capability of audio. Plus, during playback, you can see the progression of your notes while the audio plays.

One nifty little feature I really enjoy is the "napkin calculator" just type in a mathematical expression such as "15 x 12 =" and hit space, and OneNote will automatically

Finally, in conjunction with Outlook 2007, OneNote 2007 is a powerful meeting note organizer. By right clicking on any meeting in my Outlook calendar, I can select "OneNote Meeting Notes". It automatically creates a page for keeping those notes. If I want to recall what was discussed in a particular meeting, I can repeat the process, and all notes are there. The links to those notes will even update if you decide to move the notes to a different location!

This is, by far, the best product I have seen from Microsoft to date. Bravo, development team!

For right brain users

This is a very useful piece of software for anyone that needs to compile a lot of information very quickly. The ability to then go back and search the content of what you have compiled is amazing. I do consulting work and have to take notes and then go back and figure out how to make sense out of everything--not all the information I need to get down is in the form of text. I can record a conversation, add a picture, capture all or some of a web site, and more. It lets me work the way my brain is wired and that is not very often compatible with a spreadsheet.

If I could figure out how to make it get me coffee everything would be perfect.

Hidden Office gem

OneNote 2003 was a ground-breaking product. The idea of having digital notebooks rather than a list of Word documents buried in folders for organization is a simple one, yet Microsoft took the concept and created an intuitive and genuinely useful piece of software. OneNote 2007 builds upon the original version and delivers additional user-requested features, and it's honestly quite difficult to come up with any shortcomings this program may have. I have stored my entire life in OneNote, well over 8 GB worth of data, and I trust that Microsoft will continue to develop this product with close feedback from users.

The main advantages of the new 2007 version include the ability to print documents into OneNote for annotation, instant search (and search within printed documents, even if they were simply scanned) and tagging, improved sharing capabilities, native PDF publishing, and a whole host of tablet PC enhancements with regard to ink.

Tablet PC users will be able to reap all the features that OneNote offers, but notebook users fear not: OneNote was designed exclusively with the notebook user in mind.
