OneNote - Quick Reference Guide

Pdf Summary

This document is a Microsoft OneNote Quick Reference Card that summarizes core OneNote tasks, features, and keyboard shortcuts. It explains how to manage notebooks (open, create, close, rename, change color, and restore deleted items via the Notebook Recycle Bin), and how to organize content using sections, section groups, pages, and subpages (add, move, group, and delete each).<br /><br />It also covers note creation and editing: typing notes anywhere on a page, moving and resizing note containers, and deleting notes. For handwritten input, it outlines how to draw with selected pen color/thickness, erase ink using selection tools, and convert handwriting to text. Common productivity tools include applying tags to paragraphs, creating and opening Quick Notes, capturing screen clippings, and creating links to internal OneNote paragraphs or external web/content addresses.<br /><br />Formatting guidance includes applying styles, changing font family/size/color, using bold/italic/underline, copying formatting with Format Painter, creating bulleted or numbered lists, inserting date/time stamps, and running spell check. It also describes using page templates (selecting built-in templates, saving a custom page as a template, and reusing custom templates).<br /><br />Integration with other Office apps is highlighted: sending notes to Word, attaching files, inserting file printouts, adding Outlook meeting details, creating Outlook tasks from notes, and working with Excel by embedding spreadsheets or converting tables to Excel.<br /><br />Finally, it summarizes sharing and collaboration features: exporting pages/sections/notebooks, creating and sharing notebooks via OneDrive, inviting collaborators or generating view/edit links, syncing changes, reviewing edits by author or recent edits, password-protecting sections, and restoring previous page versions. A list of common OneNote keyboard shortcuts is included for navigation, editing, tagging, and syncing.
