David Cardinal from PC Magazine has a great piece for those of you that are not familiar with Microsoft’s One Note 2007.  He has a great title because it truly does allow you to get to the “next level” of note taking easily. Taking notes is something we all do but with One Note, your ability to organize what you do will be significantly increased … and there is an added bonus, with One Note 2007, you can sync your notes on your device.

In part, David said in his article Note Taking Goes to the Next Level: 

Until Office 2007, Microsoft’s OneNote application was mostly a curiosity for anyone except Tablet PC users. But with the most recent release, OneNote has really come into its own as a note-taking and research tool. Faster and more effective than Microsoft Word, OneNote combines the flexibility of a three-ring binder with the productivity of being able to throw together all types of electronic information?including handwriting, typed words, and Web page snippets. OneNote is filled with other clever solutions for collecting, organizing, and sharing different types of digital information. For example, it has screen-capture capability, screen sharing (electronic whiteboard), and blog-posting support.

OneNote’s navigation interface takes a little getting used to, but only because most of us have spent so long with the current File | Open Document paradigm. And it’s still not easy to write legibly with a stylus, although a better tablet resolution makes it easier than it was. Taking notes with your keyboard is still faster, if you can touch-type. Consider integrating the two together, a strength of the new OneNote.

You don’t need a tablet, so check it out … try it … you will like it.  You can find David’s article here.
