OneNote has more paper types than a stationery store. You can draw them, type them, or select symbols to create equations–if you look closely, you might see the Matrix!ĥ. There are several standard equations you can insert, or you can build your own (click the Insert tab, click Equation, then click Insert New Equation). If arithmetic is too elementary for you, OneNote 2013 also can help you with advanced equations. Ta-da–the answer to the universe is waiting for you. Just type your equation and an equal sign, then press the space bar. If writing isn’t for you, of course you can type as well.Īrithmetic: If you’re like me and you still use your fingers to do arithmetic, OneNote can help. This is a great way to take notes and do research or create artwork. You also can write on printouts of Office documents or PDFs (click the Insert tab, then click File Printout). Writing: You can write in the OneNote Windows Store App and OneNote 2013 using a stylus or your finger (click the Draw tab, then click Draw with Touch).

Don’t worry, OneNote can’t read your mind…yet. It also can read all of your ink notes to search them or convert them to text (click the Draw tab, then click Ink to Text), and it can read and search your inserted images (right-click an image, then select Alt Text). Reading: OneNote 2013 reads your handwritten page title and converts it to text automatically, even if, like mine, your handwriting isn’t beautiful. OneNote can do the 3 Rs: reading, writing and arithmetic. Check out the Compare SkyDrive page for more details. And if that’s not enough for you, you can buy up to 200 GB of storage for a great price. If you’re wise and store your notes on SkyDrive, you can get 7 GB of cloud storage for free–that’s a TON of notes.

There is no limit on how many notes you can take in OneNote, except for how much storage you have. OneNote is called OneNote because, let’s face it, OnePlaceForAllYourNotes is too long. You can take WAY more than one note in OneNote. If you’re one of the few who doesn’t have OneNote already installed, you can get a free trial version on 2. Check out your Start menu (or Start screen in Windows 8) to see if you have OneNote 2013. So, chances are if you are reading this, you have OneNote on your Windows PC. Whoa-that’s a lot of people, people! OneNote has been included with Office since Office 2010.

There are over 1 BILLION people in the world who are Microsoft Office users. OneNote is already installed on your Windows PC.
