» To Change the Default Colour - To change the default colour that is applied to a new section, right-click the section tab at the top of the page, point to Section Colour on the shortcut menu, and then click the colour that you want to apply. Click None to remove colouring from a section entirely.

» Install OneNote Mobile - If you have a Microsoft Windows Mobile-based smartphone or Pocket PC, you can install OneNote Mobile and synchronise notes between your computer and your smartphone. Connect your mobile device to your computer while OneNote 2007 and Microsoft ActiveSync are running. Choose to install OneNote Mobile when prompted, or install it manually at a later time.

» Useful Keyboard Shortcuts - To view a list of useful keyboard shortcuts that make accessing OneNote tools, commands, and dialog boxes faster and easier, click Keyboard Shortcuts on the Help menu.

» Screen Clipping - If copying and pasting text and graphics from a Web page to a page in your notebook doesn't seem to properly retain the formatting, try capturing the information in a screen clipping instead. On the Insert menu, click Screen Clipping, and then drag the pointer to create a rectangular selection around the content on your screen that you want to capture.

» AutoCorrect Entries - Save time by creating AutoCorrect entries for words and phrases that you type repeatedly. When you type the short form of AutoCorrect text on a notes page, OneNote automatically replaces it with the full text that you specified. On the Tools menu, click AutoCorrect Options. In the Replace box, type a word or phrase that you want OneNote to automatically replace when typed. In the With box, type the text that should appear in place of the replaced word or phrase.

» Move an Item - To move an item, such as a block of text or a picture, so that it appears over or under another item on the page, hold down ALT while moving the item.

» Quickly Remove a Tag - To quickly remove a note tag, place the cursor in the text that is tagged, and then press that note tag's keyboard shortcut (CTRL+1 through CTRL+9). You can also use this keyboard shortcut to quickly select or clear a To Do note tag.

» To Hide Notes - To hide notes that you already followed up on and marked as complete, select the Show only unchecked items check box in the Note Tags Summary task pane.

» Modify the Template - You can easily modify the templates that are included with OneNote and create a custom design of your own. Start by applying an existing template to a new, blank page, and then add or change anything you like. On the Format menu, click Templates. In the Templates task pane, click Save current page as a template.

» Line up Items - To help you line up items on your pages (for example, note containers or pictures), OneNote automatically snaps the items to an invisible grid as you move and reposition them. To temporarily disable the grid, hold down ALT while you move an item on the current page. To permanently turn the page grid option on or off, click the Snap To Grid command on the Edit menu.
