7 Pro Tips for Microsoft OneNote

[@tihestjo89]

I love the trick of creating a table around the text container to add color or a border. You may know, but some quick keys I use for this are Ctrl-A, Alt-N, T, Enter to create the table. To remove the border, Alt-J, L, H :)

[@AndyPark365]

I use shortcuts for many things in OneNote, but haven't used it for this. Thanks for sharing.😀

[@danieldimuzio184]

Way beyond 'helpful.' I've used OneNote for a decade without knowing any of the features you just demonstrated - I think that adopting a couple of them now will improve both the appearance & accessibility of my notes. You're an especially effective teacher because you anticipate what inconveniences or roadblocks a newbie may encounter & thereby relieve us of the frustration we'd otherwise experience. I'm definitely subscribing to your channel!

[@Humphrey181]

Andy thank you. This was one of the best OneNote tips videos I’ve seen. You’ve taught this old dog some very useful new tricks.

[@regrr1774]

I've been using one note for years and haven't really tried to learn how to really use it until now. All your tips are super helpful!

[@bobbischutz]

I really appreciated this video! You go at a great pace; you are clear and succinct, and the info is very helpful‼️

[@StanPerret]

Bro. Andy, Thank you very much for ALL of your video's one OneNote. As a Senior Pastor I started using OneNote about six months ago and after watching your videos I have become a [Semi-Pro] power user and it has made my daily productivity and process extremely easy to manage. If I could add some screen shots of my NoteBooks I would. I also added a quick click link that opens my email in my calendar and projects pages so that I can email information quicker. Keep up the great work and I am looking forward to addition videos on what you use OneNote for. God Bless! [As an added note: I have the entire NKJV Bible in OneNote as well to keep all of my notes and references in one places.]

[@AndyPark365]

Thank you Stan. I'm glad you're finding the OneNote videos helpful!

How do you add the bible to one note?

[@Jason-96]

2:30 I'm about a month into one note, and I use the Table-Shading method a lot. I might over use the table function, but I like how it lines everything up for me.

[@allycazares2412]

I’ve been trying to figure out how to color the whole text box for a week!! I’m so glad I watched your video!!!

Love your straight to the point tutorials - Thanks!

[@AndyPark365]

Thank you Athena! Appreciate the comment!

[@B3TILLO]

1000%. I appreciate the resourcefulness while keeping it simple and easy to understand. We dont want to know when one note was founded. We want to know how to use it and get the best out of it. Btw. This makes your videos act more as a reference than a piece of information entertainment. People will revisit this video when they have questions. At least, I tend to.

[@AndyPark365]

Thanks Roberto!

[@noneliadf]

Thank you for these amazing tips! I'm starting with OneNote and I specially loved the idea of setting the images as background. So helpful to annotate papers!

[@cosmicpuma]

Straight to the point and useful. Greatly appreciated. Thank you. 👌

[@infinite.hockey]

your onenote videos have been so extremely helpful. you've probably seen they are moving onenote 2016 to the onenote app, you should make a video on it.

[@MohanaadAlHothali]

Thank you for the Tips .. 4:30 Actually I tried selecting all the pages of the print out and set it as a background and it worked all at once.

[@AndyPark365]

Thanks Mohannad. I actually hadn't tried that. Thanks for the tip!

Very useful tips! Thanks for sharing❤

[@christophersterns2450]

Hey Andy, I loved your tip about treating selected ink as text to help search. As someone who uses handwriting in OneNote a lot that would like to make searching text easier, is there a bulk setting to make ALL handwriting selected ink as text? Love the videos.

[@DD-xk1ig]

I was able to apply all your pro tips!! Thank you so much for sharing! I never knew about these tips!

SOCORRO.... com o passar dos dias, as imagens do meu One Note estão "sumindo", no lugar fica uma tela branca com um "x" vermelho pequeno, estou perdendo todos meus resumos e mapas mentais.. alguém sabe o que seria isso e se tem como recuperar as imagens? Obrigado

great tutorial man, thx for the tips !!

Thanks!

[@MrDavidDeans]

@Andy Park Great tips as I'm still finding my way round OneNote. Re: Feed - if I try to login to feed on desktop it bitches about "Personal Microsoft accounts are not supported for this application unless explicitly invited to an organization." That seems borderline ridiculous when it works perfectly fine on Android and the Web.

[@arielspalter7425]

Incredible tutorial!

[@fahmidesu718]

hey how do you add a shortcut for table?

[@jim5324]

One of the items I've hit with the OneNote is the storage size of a folder. Specifically, I've got one that is 0.56GB. It is very helpful for my job. I'm worried that there is a max size of the storage capability. I use the Link function, identify my notes with a unique number (provided in the raw data), tables, and Tags. All of which help to focus the interest to only those I'm I need to address. Another great feature, is the copy/paste of email as an attachment. These are then aligned to specific projects identified w/in OneNote.

[@The.BlackJackal]

I have notebooks that are ~10GB and climbing. I have yet to hit a maximum size.

[@Jbiglin]

Hello! How to export highlighted text in ms one one? as acrobat reader has export highlighted text.

[@docbrown9851]

Thx, interesting tips :)

[@shustes1]

Hi Andy... I'm a big fan of OneNote but there are a couple of things I'm having trouble with... 1. Global Replace... the Find works great, but there's no Replace 2. The 'Table' feature doesn't allow for spanning of cells, like you can do in Excel 3. Pasting PDF content... sometimes I'll try to paste content from a PDF, and OneNote just crushes it. And, I don't want to just paste the document as an icon to be launched; I want to paste the actual content so I can highlight it and work with it IN OneNote. So, if you have any ideas, please send them along. Thanks so much.

[@johnmcfarlane8805]

What a fine fellow you are Andy and I thank you for this. I am trying to create a catalogue of items from a PowerPoint would you know if OneNote would be useful for this? Moving between sections is rally good therefore I'm placing the content and moving to a section [PowerPoint copied page] using a link. I'd be interestd on your thoughts as eventually the finished product would go on our SharePoint site for the business to access?

[@andrewleenz]

Awesome tips and easy to understand instructions 👍. With two different versions of OneNote (i.e. Onenote & Onenote for Windows 10), is it possible to share a onenote link which opens in Onenote for Windows 10 ?

[@AndyPark365]

Hi Andrew. I don't believe it's possible to have a link that will specify which version of OneNote will open the note. If come across a solution, I will post the reply here. Thanks.

[@peterloring7361]

Andy, thanks for putting these videos together. I've learned some new tricks, which is cool, since I instruct my teams on the use of OneNote. I wonder if you know how to automate the page format when selecting Meeting Details. I take a lot of notes for meetings. I prefer my page titles to have the format of Date, Meeting Title. When I bring in the Meeting Details for recurring meetings, OneNote formats the title, Meeting Title - Date. And it uses a date format that isn't specific. In our business the date format needs to be specific, like 2023.03.22. Is there a way to automate this? Thanks.

[@AndyPark365]

Hey Peter - I've searched around for a solution but no luck. It seems the title format is "hard coded" and can not be changed by the user. Not sure if there is a plug in that addresses this. If I come across a solution, I will reply here. Sorry it took so long to respond.

Thanks for making and sharing this. Question about using text in a container and linking it to Pages -- can you delete the list or table with the page names after you've used it to create the new pages? Or will that result in the new pages being deleted?

[@AndyPark365]

Hi Allan - yes you can delete the list after the note pages have been created. It will not impact the created pages.
