Microsoft OneNote - Those in the know often say that once you've mastered OneNote, there's no turning back!
OneNote is quite the versatile programme, offering a great alternative to Word and Excel for various tasks. Here's how you can use OneNote instead:
- For Word tasks: OneNote serves as a fantastic tool for note-taking, organising information, and even document creation. You can capture text, images, audio, video, and more, and neatly organise your notes into notebooks, sections, and pages for easy retrieval later on.
- For Excel tasks: While it's not a spreadsheet program per se, OneNote can handle basic tables and calculations. You can create tables directly within it, perform simple math operations, and even sort data. Plus, for more complex data analysis, you can embed Excel spreadsheets right into OneNote.
- For PowerPoint: OneNote comes in handy for gathering research, drafting outlines, and collecting ideas before diving into creating a presentation in PowerPoint.
- With Outlook: OneNote seamlessly integrates with Outlook, allowing you to send emails directly to OneNote, jot down meeting notes, and link tasks between the two for better project management.
- As for Planner: While it's not specifically designed for project management like Planner, OneNote can still be used to keep track of personal tasks and project notes, which can then be fleshed out and assigned in Planner.
- And Visio: OneNote can store and display Visio diagrams, although it lacks the ability to create or edit them.
