What do you want to do?
Work with pages and subpages
In OneNote, you can take notes anywhere on a page. Labeled page tabs alongside the page window identify each page, so that you can easily display the pages that you want. Page tabs also make it easy to add new pages anywhere in a notebook.
By adding subpages, you can create groups of related pages. Each group will have one primary page and as many subpages as you need. You can easily select the group as a unit to simplify page tasks (for example, to copy or move them, or send them in an e-mail message). Subpage titles can also help you organize your information.
Do one of the following:
To create a new page, click the Add Page button above the page tabs.
(If you're using OneNote 2010, click the New Page button.)
To create a new subpage, move the mouse pointer over a page tab, then click and drag the page tab to the right until the title is indented.
Add or change a page title
Type a title directly into the title area at the top of any page. Each page title also appears on its corresponding page tab. If you leave the title area blank, the first line of your notes automatically becomes the title of the page.
To rename a page, click its page tab, and then type a different title into the title area.
Delete a page or subpage
To delete a page or subpage, right-click its page tab, and then click Delete.
Change the date of a page
Under the page title, click the date, and then click the calendar icon that appears.
In the calendar, click the date that you want to display on the page. To choose the current date, click Today.
Note: The new date that you select will permanently replace the old date of the page. When you search notes, the new page date will be used.
Select one or more pages
To select a page, click its page tab to go to that page, and then click the page tab again to select the page.
To select a page group, select the primary page in that group and then double-click its page tab.
To select several pages that are not part of a group, hold down CTRL or SHIFT while you click the tabs of the pages that you want to select.
Move a page or subpage within a section
Click the tab of the page that you want to move, and drag it to the new location. A horizontal bar indicates where the page will be placed.
To select more than one page or subpage, hold down CTRL or SHIFT while you click the tabs of the pages that you want to move.
To move a primary page and its subpages, select the primary page and its subpages, and then move them together.
Drag the page tab up or down until the horizontal bar is at the location that you want, and then release the mouse button.
Move a page or subpage to another section
Click the tab of the page that you want to move, and then drag it over the section tab you want to move it to.
Tip: You can also right-click the tab of the page or subpage that you want to move, and point to Move or Copy on the shortcut menu.
To select more than one page or subpage, hold down CTRL or SHIFT while you click the tabs of the pages that you want to move.
To move a primary page and its subpages, select the primary page and its subpages, and then move them together.
In the Move or Copy Pages dialog box, click the section where you want to move the page or subpage, and then click Move.
Copy and paste a hyperlink to the current page
On any page in your notebook, you can add a hyperlink from a text selection to jump to another page in your notebook. This is useful for cross-referencing notes or creating a Table of Contents on the first page of each section in your notebook.
In the side margin, right-click the tab of the page that the hyperlink should point to.
On the shortcut menu, click Copy Link to Page.
The hyperlink to the selected page and the title of the page are copied to the Clipboard.
Click the location on the page that is to contain the hyperlink.
On the Edit menu, click Paste.
OneNote inserts a hyperlink that, when clicked, displays its target page.
Tip: To quickly return to the previous page after you click a hyperlink, click Back on the Quick Access Toolbar.
Rearrange notes on a page
Work with sections
In some three-ring binders, notes are organized into sections by tabbed dividers that each can be labeled by a different subject or topic. In OneNote, the tabs across the top of the current page represent the sections (and any folders) in the notebook that is currently open.
As notebooks grow in size, you might want to change the order of the section tabs.
To quickly move a section tab to a new location in the current notebook, do one of the following:
To move a section from the current notebook to a folder or to another notebook, do the following:
Copy and paste a hyperlink to the current section
On any page in your notebook, you can add a hyperlink from a text selection to jump to a different section in your notebook. This is useful for cross-referencing notes or creating a Table of Contents on the first page of each section in your notebook.
As mentioned in the video, if you're using OneNote for Windows, there is an add-in available with even more ways to organize your notes. Search and replace content, sort your pages, add a table of contents and more. You can download it at getonetastic.com
