Microsoft OneNote is the perfect example of such an app. For a long time, OneNote was a paid part of the Microsoft Office suite, however, it’s now a free-to-use application after Microsoft discontinued the desktop version. In recent times, OneNote became available as a Windows 10 app which comes pre-installed on your computer.

If you prefer to share a static copy of any page in your notebook, see “Share a snapshot of a page of notes” in the section below. Share a snapshot of a page of notes. To send a static copy (or a screenshot) of the current page in email, do the following: In OneNote for Windows 10, open the page you want to share. You have unread changes in that section. If you open it, you will see some bold pages - you can right click them and 'Mark as read'. View Entire Discussion (2 Comments). Saving Your Work - OneNote does not have a File, Save or Save as option. Your work is automatically saved. Export - You can export pages, sections or even your entire notebook as a PDF file by choosing File, Export. Bold – Notebooks, sections, and pages with bold lettering indicate those pages have not read.

Apply text formatting to notes

Apply text formatting to notes

You’ll find the editing and formatting controls, which let you change the text’s appearance, to be very familiar if you’ve worked with other Microsoft Office apps, such as Word or PowerPoint.

Use the controls on the Home tab of the ribbon to format your notes

By default, OneNote creates text by using the Calibri font, with its size set to 11 points. (There are 72 points to an inch.) You can use any font installed on your system to format your text according to your needs. You might want to use one font for your basic note text and another for headlines, for example.

Applying bold, italic, and underline formatting all emphasize the text you formatted, but in slightly different ways. For example, bold text can identify a key term, italics can denote a definition of that term, and underlining can indicate vital words within the definition that help distinguish the term from related concepts. For more specific cases, such as mathematical notes or to indicate a word that should be excluded from a definition, you can apply subscript, superscript, or strikethrough formatting.

Another way to make text stand out on the page is to apply highlighting, which is the electronic equivalent of using a light-colored marker to distinguish text on a printed page. You can also change the color of specific text. In most cases, the standard black text is best, but red text can identify mistakes to avoid, and green text can indicate action items, or whatever combination works best for you.

Highlight text to make it stand out from surrounding information

Finally, meetings and classes often cover several topics during each session. You can use the built-in styles to apply several levels of headings to your notes, call out citations and quotes, or format programming code so it’s easier to distinguish from the surrounding text.
