The Wonders of OneNote!

Our elves have been going through your security settings for an end-of-year checkup, ensuring your security is top-notch! We are always looking for the latest and greatest updates to make sure your company is kept informed and safe. This is a great way to wrap-up the year and move into 2019 with a clean slate.

 

Looking towards 2019, we want to pause for a moment and say Thank You to you, our client. We truly care about you, and want to do anything that we can to help you succeed! Giving you the tools to do that is a big part of that.

 

Season of Thanks

 

You may have been using Microsoft OneNote, but even if you are a seasoned user, there are several features that you may not be aware of. Let’s take a few minutes to go through some of the really cool features that may help you work smarter, and not harder.

 

OneNote has a New Look!

The interface for the newest downloadable version is a bit different from what you’re used to, but don’t worry, it’s all there! Microsoft has arranged it to look like the web interface applications that you might be using, such as Teams, Planner, and SharePoint. This style of interface has your menus open in “Blades”, which is just a fancy word for columns, usually on the left side of the screen.

 

Change Page Color and add Lines

 

Did you know that you don’t have to have boring white pages? You can customize pages to be different colors, or add lines of different types. You can even set it to open new pages with lines by default.

Automatic Sourcing in OneNote

 

You can copy text from a website, and when you paste it to OneNote, the source website will show as a hyperlink below the pasted text. This feature can be turned off.
