      Introduction

      As the author and founder of PCM Courseware, I am delighted to bring you the next in our Up To Speed series of guides:  OneNote 2016 - Up To Speed.  Since 2003, PCM Courseware has been publishing innovative Print-On-Demand electronic courseware for both the PC and the Macintosh and beginning with the Up to Speed series, we are now creating software guides for everyone, not just for software trainers.

      My mission is to create guides to make learning technology concepts easy, no matter what kind of learner you are. The guides are simple to use yet comprehensive in their effectiveness. Many students find the step-by-step approach of our manuals to be a valuable self-study resource.

      You do not need to read the book sequentially, although this can certainly be helpful if you are just starting out with OneNote.  I’ve written the book from scratch, starting with basic OneNote topics and moving on to more advanced features of the application, designed to help you to become more productive more quickly. 

      If you are looking to accomplish a specific task, be sure to take advantage of the handy Table of Contents.

      So let’s get started with OneNote 2016 – Up to Speed.

      Chapter 1 - OneNote Basics

      Starting OneNote

      Welcome to Microsoft OneNote 2016!  OneNote is a powerful and user-friend note-taking application that you can use to take notes and gather information on your computer or mobile devices.  What’s nice about OneNote is that it can be used in conjunction with your other Microsoft Office applications or as a stand-alone software program. 

      There are many, many features of this flexible program which we will look at in the upcoming chapters.  In this section, we’ll begin by launching the OneNote Application.

      To open OneNote, follow these steps:

      1. If you are using Windows 8 or Windows 10, click the OneNote 2016 tile on the Start screen (if you don’t see a OneNote tile, type: OneNote until the application is highlighted.

      2. If using Windows 7 or before, click the Start button on the lower-left corner of your screen to display the Start menu, select All Programs > Microsoft Office > Microsoft OneNote 2016 from the Start Menu to launch the application (this may vary, depending on your installation).

      Opening an Existing Notebook

      When you launch OneNote for the first time, you’ll start out in the Quick Notes area.  This is where you might temporarily store a note until you decide into which notebook you want to place it.  If you have previously opened notebooks in OneNote, they remain open when you quit the application, meaning that the next time you open OneNote, they are there within easy access.

      In OneNote 2016, file management commands are located under the File tab on the Ribbon.  This view is referred to as Backstage View.  From Backstage View, you can perform many file operations such as opening, closing, exporting and printing files.  To open an existing notebook, click the File tab on the Ribbon and then click Open in the left pane.  From the Open From Other Locations area, click the area where your notebook is stored, usually on your Computer (local or network drive) or on OneDrive (formerly called SkyDrive) and then navigate to the location where your notebook resides.  If you have recently opened a notebook, it may be listed in the right pane under the Recent Notebooks area.  Click the name of the notebook in the list to quickly open it.

      With Microsoft Office 2016, you can save, view and open files from your OneDrive account.  In fact, when opening or saving a OneNote notebook, your OneDrive account is the first option on the list.  Saving your notebooks in your OneDrive cloud account ensures that you can access them from multiple devices as well as from other computers.  Because students in this class may have not have yet set up their own OneDrive account, we will be working only with files stored locally.  However, you may wish to explore OneDrive on your own.

      As you will quickly discover, there are several ways to accomplish the same task in Microsoft OneNote.  Many commands under the File tab have an equivalent keyboard command that will accomplish the same thing.  For instance, to open an existing notebook in Microsoft OneNote, you can also use the keystroke combination Ctrl + O to quickly jump to the Open pane in Backstage view.  Another way to jump to Backstage view is to press the Alt + F keystroke combination rather than clicking the File tab.

      To open an existing notebook, follow these steps:

      1.  Click the File tab on the top left of your screen (or press Ctrl + O).

      2.  Click the Open icon in the left pane.

      3.  To open a file stored on your OneDrive account, click the
