3.0 out of 5 stars Good book, but wrong edition!, March 11, 2009

By	Richard T. Perry (Orlando, FL, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a VERY good "beyond the basics" guide to OneNote 2003.

The only problem is ... that I have OneNote 2007. Now, I'll be the first to say that all of the philosophy and many of the commands cross right over, but there is enough of a difference to make you scratch your head.

However, when I bought this book, I also bought this reference card:Microsoft OneNote 2007 Quick Reference Card - Handy Durable Tri-Fold MS One Note 2007 Tip & Tricks Guide. 6 Total Pages. Stores Easily. Ultimate Reference for Shortcuts, Tips & Cheats for Microsoft OneNote 2007 Note Taking & Management Software. (Softwa... and between the two, have been rapidly learning OneNote.

Oh, and as far as I can tell (March 2009), there are no books on OneNote 2007 on the market, so the above approach may be your best bet!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good book: Has SP1 info for OneNote, December 14, 2004

By	applelisauser - See all my reviews

This is a very good book on OneNote!

If you have OneNote you should get this book. It is the only book about OneNote that I am aware of that has been written with the SP1 enhancements in mind. Whole chapters were added to cover new SP1 features.

The book has a chapter on the live interactive sharing of notes over a network. There is a chapter on controlling OneNote programmatically (information not available anywhere else).

OneNote is a unique product. If you just install it, it is hard to understand why it is better than Word. You need a book like this just to get a handle on what the software can help you.

If you have not tried OneNote, download a copy and play with it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother getting this book, December 12, 2004

By	Chemiker (Austin, TX United States) - See all my reviews

"Life on OneNote" by Jacobs and Jelen is very nicely written with a clear and enthusiastic tone that renders the prose enjoyable. So why one star? Easy, there is absolutely nothing in the book that you can get in animated demonstrations for free off the Microsoft Office OneNote site: http://office.microsoft.com

Click on "OneNote" in the left hand menu. Save yourself time and money and skip this book.
