Microsoft OneNote 2007

Microsoft Office OneNote 2007 is a digital notebook that gives you a flexible way to collect and organize your notes and information, powerful search capabilities to help you quickly find what you're looking for, and easy-to-use shared notebooks for teams to collaborate more effectively.

Collect and organize everything in one place with Microsoft OnenNote 2007

With the wealth of information you receive - and in so many different forms - you need a place to keep it all, and a tool flexible enough to capture it. Otherwise, information that could help you make better decisions or increase your efficiency will be lost or difficult to retrieve. Unlike paper-based systems, word processors, email systems or other productivity programs, OneNote 2007 gives you the flexibility to capture and organize text, images, digital handwriting, audio and video recordings and more - all in a digital notebook on your computer. With this software, you can be more productive by always having the information you need at your fingertips and spending less time searching for information in emails, notebooks, binders and printouts.

Save time by consolidating information

Taking notes on paper and transcribing them later can be time-consuming and difficult, and there's a risk of losing important pages. In addition, it is difficult to share data in a traditional paper notebook, and they are only suitable for one type of information: handwritten notes. When it comes time to gather information from other sources and in other ways, further difficulties can arise. For example, because most people don't have the ability to capture unstructured information digitally, they often print out Internet research and keep the information in binders or on their desks, which can be difficult to find later and inaccessible when you're not around. And sharing information with others can be a challenge - even when using email, it can be difficult to figure out what the plan is without reading long email threads that may or may not contain the information you need. Microsoft OnenNote 2007, however, offers you a solution with a flexible software program that lets you gather virtually all types of information in one place. When you have your information quickly at hand, you are better prepared and informed.

Microsoft OnenNote 2007 helps you find what you need quickly

Microsoft OnenNote 2007 makes finding information easy and fast by taking the guesswork out of where you have important information stored. No more clicking through file folders and sifting through pages of paper notebooks to find the information you're looking for. Powerful search capabilities let you find information quickly while searching new types of content, such as text in scanned documents or images, and spoken words in audio and video recordings. With easier access to the facts, you and your employees can make better decisions.

Protect your intellectual property with Microsoft OnenNote 2007

Microsoft OnenNote 2007 helps you consolidate different types of information - including free text notes, images, documents, files from other Microsoft Office system programs, and rich media - and organize them in the way that works best for you. And since everything is stored in one place, you don't have to worry about saving or backing up your information frequently - Microsoft OnenNote 2007 does it for you.

Ideal for businesses

When you attend an important meeting and don't want to rely on your memory, simply record meeting notes in Microsoft OnenNote 2007 to create a living repository of group decisions and brainstorming sessions that provides continuity and context for subsequent meetings. You can also capture all the details of client meetings and discussions by synchronizing typed or handwritten notes with audio and video recordings from Microsoft OnenNote 2007. When you're working outside the office, you can collect information on your Microsoft Windows Mobile-powered devices (including notes, audio recordings, and images) and transfer them to Microsoft OnenNote 2007.

And when it's time to share data with your colleagues, take advantage of Microsoft OnenNote 2007's export programming interface to easily transfer information captured in Microsoft OnenNote 2007 to your company's business systems, eliminating errors and wasted time re-entering the same information in different systems. Need to copy, paste or print information from other Microsoft Office 2007 system programs? With OneNote it's no problem; with this software you'll be able to access and share information in Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPoint. You can even use the drawing tools and tables from Microsoft OnenNote 2007 to make annotations and easily organize and manage information.

Search and linking options

With Microsoft OnenNote 2007, you can quickly search and find keywords in text, images, and audio recordings you've made in the application. You can also display hyperlinks to search results in a summary task pane; a single click will take you to the relevant results. For even more convenience, view all open notebooks at once, drag and drop to arrange your notes, and add hyperlinks to other pages in your notebook to quickly find relevant content. Easily manage tasks with two-way synchronization between Microsoft OnenNote 2007 and the 2003 and 2007 versions of Outlook, or link notes and other information to specific Outlook 2007 or Outlook 2003 contacts to better prepare for meetings and easily retrieve information. When you want to highlight a particularly important point, date, or other piece of information, mark notes with note tags, visually appealing icons that make it easy to return to reminders, tasks, and other action items.

Collaborate more effectively

When team members work from multiple locations and on multiple projects, communication, coordination and information sharing can hinder group effectiveness and productivity. Teams often rely on email messages to share information, leading to confusion and cluttered email inboxes. Tasks, action items, agendas and issues stored in static documents or document management systems are difficult to update, track and retrieve, and they prevent multiple people from working with the same information simultaneously. Microsoft OnenNote 2007 helps people collaborate by removing the barriers that arise when information is stored in isolation in paper notes or file folders or on a person's computer. Groups can easily share information, work more productively and better keep track of projects, issues and goals. Individuals can work together on the same notebook - whether online or offline - by using shared notebooks. Microsoft OnenNote 2007 manages changes made to the same notebook, eliminating the need to track versions or upload changes.

You can also create a team knowledge base so that everyone can access the same information. This helps new team members get up to speed quickly and minimizes duplicate work. You can also share your notes with non-OneNote 2007 users by sending them as HTML files so that anyone with an email client or Web browser can view them, and you retain control over your information by choosing which notebooks to share with your teammates and which to keep private. You can even use OneNote 2007 as a shared digital whiteboard, so virtual teams can collaborate in real time, viewing and editing the same notes.
