How important are your notes?

Writing down and storing my notes is important activity for me. Now and then I am publishing them on my Networknet.nl blog. All my notes are sitting in Microsoft OneNote notebooks. 

Last year I listened to a Technet podcast where I learned the power of Microsoft’s OneNote application. After installing OneNote and creating my first notes in OneNote, I would never want to miss this feature in my application toolset.

Microsoft OneNote 2007 is my place to gather notes and information, run powerfull search queries from text and screenprints and share the workbooks with file or sharepoint document libraries. Microsoft Office OneNote 2007 is an integrated part of the 2007 Microsoft Office system that makes it easy to gather, organize, find, and share your notes and information more efficiently and effectively.

Microsoft Office OneNote 2007 is available as single installation setup or included in Professional/Enterprise/Ultimate editions of Microsoft Office 2007 suites.

Screenshot above shows user interface of OneNote 2007. On the left side you can create hand-full of workbooks without the need to scroll, sections and sections groups. Clip, convert from picture to text and search are my favorite features.

Every month I create separate section group and name the pages based on the week number and topic I am creating notes for. In the subpages of “Notes” page I will publish my notes. These topics are used for my own reference but can help you if you are looking for them.
