Gather and Organize Everything in One Place
With so much information coming your way--and in so many different forms--you need one place to keep it all and a tool that's flexible enough to capture it. Otherwise, information that could have been used to help make better decisions or make you more efficient is lost or difficult to find.Unlike paper-based systems, word processing programs, e-mail systems, or other productivity programs, OneNote 2007 delivers the flexibility to gather and organize text, pictures, digital handwriting, audio and video recordings, and more--all in one digital notebook on your computer. This software can help you become more productive by keeping the information you need at your fingertips and reducing time spent searching for information across e-mail messages, paper notebooks, file folders, and printouts.

Save Time By Consolidating Information
Taking notes on paper and transcribing them later can be time-consuming and difficult, and you run the risk of losing important pages. In addition, it's difficult to share data kept in conventional paper notebooks and they're only good for capturing one kind of information: handwritten notes. When it's time to gather information from other sources and in different ways, other difficulties can arise. For instance, because most people don't have a way of digitally capturing unstructured information, they often print out Web research, and store information in file folders or on desks, which is difficult to find later and inaccessible when you're away. And sharing information with others can be challenging--even when using e-mail, it can be hard to hard to figure out what the plan is without reading through long e-mail threads that may or may not contain the information you need. OneNote 2007, however, gives you a solution with a flexible software program that enables you to gather virtually any type of information in one place. With your information readily available, you can be more prepared and informed, especially when it comes to homework and exams.

Quickly Find What You Need
With OneNote 2007, finding information is easy and fast because it eliminates the guesswork of figuring out where you stored critical information. No more clicking through file folders and sorting through pages of paper notebooks to find the information you're looking for. Powerful search features give you the ability to locate information quickly, while allowing you to search across new types of content, like text in scanned documents or images, and spoken words in audio and video recordings. With easier access to the facts, you can focus on completing your schoolwork in a timely, organized fashion.

Protect Your Intellectual Property
OneNote 2007 helps you consolidate various types of information--including freeform notes, images, documents, files from other Microsoft Office system programs, and rich media--and organize it in the way that works best for you. And because it keeps everything in one place, you don't have to worry about frequently saving or creating backups of your information--OneNote 2007 does this for you.

Ideal For Students
If you're attending classes where you need to take detailed notes, writing papers, or doing research, OneNote makes sure you can save and store large amounts of different kinds of information in one place. When it's time to prepare for an exam, or draft a research paper, everything you need will be at your fingertips. You can also catch all the details of different lectures by synchronizing typed or handwritten notes with Office OneNote 2007 audio and video recordings. If you wish to work from different locations, gather information on your Microsoft Windows Mobile powered devices (including notes, audio recordings, and pictures) and transfer it to OneNote 2007.

And when it's time to share data with teachers or other students, take advantage of OneNote 2007's export application programming interface to easily transfer information gathered in OneNote 2007 to your school's systems, and in so doing reduce errors and wasted time spent rekeying the same information in different systems. Need to copy, paste, or print information from and into other 2007 Microsoft Office system programs? It's no problem with OneNote; this software lets you access and exchange information in Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint. You can even use OneNote 2007's drawing tools and tables to annotate and easily organize and manage information.

Search and Link Options
OneNote 2007 lets you search and find keywords quickly within text, in images, and in audio recordings made within the application. You can also view hyperlinked search results in a summary task pane; a single click takes you to relevant results. For added convenience, view all open notebooks at once, use drag-and-drop functionality to easily arrange and rearrange your notes, and add hyperlinks to other pages in your notebook to quickly find relevant content. Manage tasks easily with two-way synchronization between OneNote 2007 and the 2003 and 2007 versions of Microsoft Office Outlook, or link notes and other information to specific Outlook 2007 or Outlook 2003 contacts to help you better prepare for meetings and recall information easily. If you want to underscore a particularly important point, date, or other piece of information, mark notes with note tags, visually rich icons that make it easier to return to reminders, to-dos, and other high-priority items.

Work Together More Effectively
Group projects or study groups with other students working from different locations and on multiple projects can often be challenging. Too much reliance on e-mail to coordinate meeting times or share information can cause confusion and bloated e-mail inboxes. Key topics, assignment requirements, and other issues stored within static documents or document management systems are difficult to update, track, and access, and they prevent multiple people from working with the same information at the same time. OneNote 2007 helps people work together better by eliminating roadblocks that arise when information is isolated in paper notes or file folders, or on one person's computer. Groups can share information easily, work more productively, and keep track of projects, issues, and goals more effectively. For added convenience, individuals can work together from the same notebook--whether online or offline--using shared notebooks. OneNote2007 manages changes made to the same notebook, eliminating the need to track versions or upload changes.

If you're organizing a study group, you can also create a group knowledge base so that everyone has access to the same information, helping to get new members up to speed quickly. Share notes even with non-Office OneNote 2007 users by sending your notes as HTML so that anyone with an e-mail client or Web browser can view them, and stay in control of your information by choosing which notebooks to share with your teammates and which to keep private, and help ensure privacy with password protection. You can even use OneNote 2007 as a shared digital whiteboard, an option that is particularly helpful when studying for a test, enabling a virtual group to work together in real time, viewing and editing the same set of notes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Compelling Application, April 5, 2007

By	S. Brown "s_brown" (Potsdam, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am not a big Microsft fan and usually find their products bloated with unneeded features, slow, and unintuitive. However, OneNote 2007 is a real gem and has quickly become indispensible. I was a prior user of OneNote 2003 (which was a good application), but OneNote 2007 is a true upgrade and is worth the upgrade price.

Some think OneNote is only for handwriting recognition applications. This is simply not true. I have never used the handwriting recognition features but find OneNote 2007 to be a very, very powerful and flexible organizational tool. The OneNote concept is based on notebooks (in 2007 you can have multiple notebooks which is a huge improvement). Essentially, you can create a notebook for your project. Then you can create tabs in that notebook. Then you can create pages within the tabs. For example, I have used the tool for internship-job searches. I create a job search notebook, tabs for locations, and then pages for specific employers. For each employer, I can create one or more sub pages with my resume, cover letter, research on the organization, job ads, etc.

What is so amazing about OneNote 2007 is that is breaks the usual rules for applications. It is disorienting at first to see how flexible OneNote is, and this flexibility is uncommon in computer programs. You open a page and go. No cumbersome saving, folder creation, styles, fighting with columns, fighting with tables., etc. OneNote allows you to WORK rather than spend copious time formatting. Send a web page or HTML clip to the OneNote page. Record a voice note and attach it to the page. Start typing anywhere on the page (no formatting or typewriter like limitations). Or draw a diagram. In Outlook 2007, you can even send emails to a page so you can keep correspondence with the project information. Then insert either a copy of a document (e.g., Word or excel) or insert an image than can be annotated of the document itself into the page for quick reference. Then create a task or to do list in OneNote and have it appear in your Outlook calendar or to do list. Very powerful. Then save your notebook pages to PDFs or send them to Word. Plus, you can quickly search across note books, embed hyperlinks in pages, etc.

As indicated before, I am not a Microssoft fan, but I am a huge OneNote fan. OneNote 2007 is truly amazing and is an exceptional organizational tool. If you tried OneNote 2003 and found it good but limiting, try OneNote 2007. It is vastly improved. You may quickly become addicted to OneNote.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very useful organizational tool for note taking, February 9, 2007

By	John Margaglione (Spicewood, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am the last person you want to ask about Microsoft products, but this program seriously sets a new standard for note taking and organizational tools. I spend a lot of time on the phone taking notes from conversations with customers. This is the first product I have used that gets out of my way and just lets me take notes. The software is intuitive, easy to use and feature-rich enough that I really can't think of much that I would add. Yet there are not so many features that you are trying to figure out how to do simple tasks. I would highly recommend this product to anybody that wants to throw away their paper notebooks and move into the 21st century.

4.0 out of 5 stars OneNote-a must have program, May 6, 2007

By	Alan Barker (Rhode Island, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a fantastic program, with or without a notebook/tablet computer. If you buy one program, this should be it. Microsoft will even let you try it for free.

OneNote is a repository for any info you create, or come across on the internet including your email. On the business side, you can share your info with a team, and sync with Outlook.

Negatives-its search function is powerful, but requires Windows Desktop Search. This occasionally slows my older system down. Sometimes OneNote will freeze up, requiring a computer reboot. The good news is that it saves as you enter data, so I have never lost anything.
