A few of time management and organizational books that I’ve read raved about OneNote. They all said it was the perfect way to keep everything organized and in one place. Plus, you can set it up so that things on your to do list automatically show up on your task list in Outlook.
Starting something new is always a bit intimidating, so I was glad to get Using Microsoft OneNote 2010. This guide takes you from installation through all the features. I went through set by step trying out the various features as the book discussed them. In quite a few cases, I left myself little notes about how I could use a particular feature for my own files. Then, once I closed the book, I felt confident enough with the program that I got started reorganizing.
I really like having everything in one place. It is a timesaver. I’m a great lover of sticky notes, so I also like the ability to scribble a note or write down a thought.

Using Microsoft Onenote 2010
By: Michael C Oldenburg
ISBN: 978-0-7897-4292-6, Pages 410, $24.99, Publication Date: September, 2011, Softcover, How-To-Book, Published by Que Publishing
Many “How-To” books are on the market giving instructions that help you fix your car to changing a light bulb. After many years of having purchased computer books, which were so technical that you had to find an engineer to explain each page, it was very refreshing to find one that is down to earth. “Using Microsoft Onenote 2010” by Michael C. Oldenburg is a very unusual tutorial.
What makes these lessons stand out from so many others is it combines online video with the illustrated instruction book. As a part of the reasonable purchase price there are over 3 hours of video with the author guiding in a systematic presentation. The online material is not always the same as that contained in the book so that readers need to have both before them as they learn the techniques.
Notebook by Microsoft has been around since 2003 with a subsequent edition in 2007. Not being familiar with the earlier editions is not a drawback to working with 2010 since it incorporates the materials from the earlier editions and enhances them.
This program is one that you can use in your daily routines on the computer. Exactly what can you do with it? As a homemaker, you can prepare shopping lists; download them to your cell phone, IPad, or other device. Cooking new recipes can be made fun as you search from your computer, copy pages to Onenote, and then when you are ready to make the item, you can look into your notebook, go back to the original page where you found the recipe and get any additional information easily.
Computer users list their favorite sites in various browsers, but over time, the favorites change or the places need updating. If you look at your list of favorites after a few years use, a lot need eliminating. Onenote allows you to have a place where you can keep current since when you click on a site and go there, if it is not what you need to have now, you can research and update, erase easily, and move on.
Onenote has recording capability for both video and audio so you can leave yourself or others information without typing! Yes, you can share with those who have a need to know about topics you are working on. Students and teachers can benefit by using this format for on-going lessons, quizzes, or research.
Another outstanding feature is that current users of the program can get 25 gigabits of free on-line storage from Microsoft. This is a bonus because you can store photographs, documents, or other notes in separate files that can be accessed from anywhere. Security for important information is also a part of the program. Sharing with family members those memorable moments is also very easy and they can add photos as well.
Computer users can be classified as novices (just opened the box for the first time), beginners (have some basic knowledge, can play games, email, and read daily news) or knowledgeable (able to run several programs, do on-line banking, or other tasks including their income taxes), or professionals who easily master everything thrown at them. This book is for beginners! It is easily followed and combined with the on-line videos can make the reader become very knowledgeable, just like your six year old! This is a five star book that is highly recommended.
