Wow - I've been using OneNote as far back as it has been around. I rarely pick up anything from tips videos, but I never knew about the brackets for links, and the idea to make an image the background to avoid my annotations moving around is genius.

@amanvermalh Жыл бұрын

This was very helpful. I'm using OneNote from a very long time and wasn't aware of the Page and Paragraph link feature. Thank you so much!

@Jenx3989 2 жыл бұрын

Fantastic! I have been using OneNote for years, searched other OneNote tips and videos and I have only just learned some new great tips with this one! I had NO idea about the double bracket linking before. And making an image set to background so you can write over it and not having the markups get lost, is brilliant! Thank you so much!

Thank you. Glad you were able to pickup a couple of new tips from the video. Thanks for watching!

Your videos are the only tutorial I've seen so clear explanation and easy illustration. Please keep doing this. More power and God bless!

Two tips that are awesome - double brackets saves a lot of time instead of copy and paste and the always on top. These were clearly described and easy to understand. First time viewer and now subscriber.

Instead of full screen and pin one note window, there is a better option called "Dock to desktop". With this option, it's a lot easier to arrange other windows and there is also a shortcut for it "Ctrl + Alt + D".

Dock to desktop appear to affect all desk tops, right?

Andy, thanks for taking the time to make this video. I am wondering whether or not there is a way to identify or signal that there is a OneNote sticky note (that comes up on the OneNote feed in Outlook now) associated with a particular email. In the OneNote feed there is a mail icon, but there is no corresponding note icon or symbol in the associated email. Is there a way to show that an email has a note associated with it? Thanks for any help you can give!

My OneNote always makes new page even though I have a page with the name already. If I delete the new page, then the link works. I don't know how to fix this, but it happens consistently. When I check the web, I see that it's not just me, but lots of people report the same very annoying problem.

@deeleon 10 ай бұрын

my solution to annotation is: open an empty ppt, and dump all images in there, as well as in your one note. replace them when you have time to do annotation. usually, you ideas won't be lost if you finish it right after the meeting (like 2-hour meeting).

@sravi59 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks Andy. I was ignoring OneNote for several years now. But recently decided to give it a try. And these tips are really good to get to the pro level. Unfortunately, I can't find that template option on the OneNote for windows 10 version

@AndyPark365 2 жыл бұрын

You are correct, there is no template option in the menu for Windows 10. This is one of the reasons I use the desktop version. However, in Windows 10, you can layout the page just how you like it, right-click on the page name in the navigation pane, and choose "save as default template". If you do this, every time you create a new page IN THIS SECTION the page will have the layout you saved. A bit of a workaround if you really need this feature.
