With OneNote 2007, Microsoft has improved OneNote in several important ways. I'm not formulating a final article while taking notes, and I don't take notes in an application that has all the editing richness of Microsoft Word. Also, I rather like the psychological separation of note-taking and final product. Why not just use Word or some other text processor, you ask? Word saves documents, and managing those documents, especially for someone like me, can be rather tedious.
I use OneNote for all my note-taking needs, and if I'm meeting with someone in-person, I use the application's audio recording capabilities as well. And sure enough, that's pretty much how I use the product. And in Office 2007, it's getting even better.įor those of you not familiar with OneNote-and from what I understand, that's quite a few of you-Microsoft targets this application at "information gathering." The idea is that a student, reporter, lawyer, knowledge worker, or whoever will use OneNote to collect data from notes, audio and video recordings, the Web, and other documents and then turn them into a finished product using a related application like Microsoft Word or PowerPoint. Ever since the first major beta of OneNote 2003, I've been using OneNote to take notes during in-person, phone, and LiveMeeting-based briefings, and I've found it to be an indispensible tool. Here was an application specifically targeted to my daily note-taking needs, offering virtually everything I could ask for. The first time I was briefed about the initial version of OneNote, I thought someone was playing a joke on me. In this part of my Office 2007 Beta 2 review, I'd like to highlight another Office application in which I spend a lot of time, OneNote.
