Got a documentation request for OneNote 2010?
Posted on 20. Nov, 2009 by OneNote in Help Articles
Documentation for Microsoft OneNote 2010 will be coming online over the next several weeks and months as we work hard to put the finishing touches on the new version.
Typically, we take customer feedback from the current and prior versions of a product into consideration when planning and designing the Help system, but we’re very interested to hear from all the Beta testers out there if there are any OneNote 2010-specific features (new, changed, or old) that you’d like to see more documentation about.
We’d also like to know what kind of content would be most helpful to you — traditional Help articles, visual walkthroughs with lots of screenshots, step-by-step tutorials, videos, training courses, reference charts, cheat sheets, or anything else you’d like to see?
Please post a comment here to let us know which OneNote 2010 features you’d like to see explained in greater detail and what form of documentation would be most helpful to you.
Thank you!
Note: Content published on this Web site is intended for the OneNote 2010 Beta. If you’re looking for OneNote 2007 documentation, please visit Microsoft Office Online and then click a category from the table of contents labeled “Browse OneNote 2007 Help and How-to.”

Links: I’m using the Firefox browser. When I copy web text to my Unfiled Note, no link is created and the web address is not copied with the text (i.e. 2007). I verified that this should occur via the Options setting.

You all should consider, creating a Recycle Bin for OneNote or have deleted items from OneNote sent to the primary Recycle Bin.

Is it possible to edit the header/normal text styles – I’ve changed default text but would like the Header 1,2,3 styles etc to be different – just can’t work out how, or if this is possible!

I created a new Notebook and want the New Side Note to be saved to an Unfiled Notes tab in that Notebook, not the default notebook. Could not find a way to target the save to that new Notebook, so I dragged and dropped the Unfiled Notes tab folder to my new Notebook.
Problem with that workaround is that now I don’t have an Unfiled Notes tab in my Personal Notebook. So, all notes-on-the-fly will now go only to the one notebook.
Suggest all notebooks have an Unfiled Notes folder with a means to target the save of a note-on-the-fly to a selected notebook.

I was trying to find how to create or have OneNote 2010 put the icon in the Taskbar. The one I have is from my 2007. I use that constantly.

I am looking for any documentation that will tell me how to back and restore my OneNote 2010 options. For example, I have customized tags that I would like to backup and then restore onto my laptop.

In OneNote 2007 there was provision for “new group section” – but I can’t seem to find it in 2010 Beta. Is it deliberately-/accidentally left out, still going to be incorporated or am I looking in the wrong place ??

I am looking for a way to alter the styles. In particular the Page Title is not boldface whereas Heading 1 is boldface. I would like to make my documents look consistent.

LOVE IT!!! Just one minor request, an option to keep the Ribbon stationary with the workspace below. It is more comfortable, without poping from the menu. Thankyou.

If I read your request correctly you simply drag the page or pages from the unfiled section to the section of your choice.

Text styles are great, but is there a way to customize it? (like in word, where I can change Heading 1 to a new font, size, color?) I love the new outline function :)
love the new highlighters, but there’s such a contrast between the darker colors and pastel ones. Can we get some in between? custom colors for drawing with highlighter/pen?
ribbon customizations are great, very helpful.
really need a way to edit “printed” images- just some basic functions like rotate, crop, borders would be great!
borders around text boxes, text box fill colors…
thank you onenote team for making my life easier!

Is there a way to make a continuous fixed width page?
This makes it easy to expand and add more information as needed, but still print in the size that i wanted it to be.

I’m trying to use the equation editor in OneNote, but many of the characters are missing! I’m currently using Windows XP Media Center 32-bit edition. Any suggestions to fix this?

I prefer a quick reference guide. This helps those of us that have used 1NOTE on both 2010 & 2007 versions. Indicate basically 1 cryptic way for each of its many capabilities. The basic logic for using the application then becomes evident to a lot of users.

When in outlook 2010 i have the send to one note icon in the ribbon but it is grayed out and i can not send anything from outlook to onenote, why??

Would it be possible to promote the visibility of the Search option on this site? Please move it to the top of the page, so I don’t have to scroll for it. (Remember, people are using different screen sizes now and what you see in the office may not match what’s in the field. Think netbooks, etc.)
Also, how do you make a simple outline in OneNote? Documentation covering this and other simple usage scenarios is hard to track down.

Hello,
I would like to be able to Alphabetize my Sections within my Notebooks automatically. Sure, I know I can click and drag them to my heart’s content, but it would be great if they could be auto-sorted. Thank you for making a grat product! It is actually what is keeping me bound to the MS Office Suite. If it were not for OneNote, I would switch to other software for my needs. Thank you!

Message for Juan – Sort Sections – go here to learn about a powertoy that sorts sections. I’m using it with 2010: http://blogs.msdn.com/descapa/archive/2007/03/03/sort-sections-powertoy.aspx

Say, you drop a few URL address into a new page, or combine some .pdf files for a project you are working on.
You can drop the content willy nilly, anywhere on the page.
Is there a way you can “align”/”format” that content as one group, instead of manually aligning them as individual components?
