The first one (“Send to OneNote”) sends an entire web page (or a highlighted portion) to OneNote with a single click, including a link to the page so you can return to it later. Internet Explorer has two OneNote buttons. You can look at a line in your OneNote notes later and return to the exact place in the document that you had in mind. Each item in OneNote is linked to the specific line of the document that your cursor is resting on when you type the note. OneNote appears in a side bar for you to enter comments about the Word document or Powerpoint presentation. There are OneNote buttons in Word and Powerpoint on the “Review” ribbon bar. You can do the same thing with your Outlook task list and you can have linked pages of notes about Outlook contacts. It’s completely natural – you’ll understand it the first time you use it. The next time you click the OneNote button in Outlook for that appointment, you’ll be taken straight to the same page clicking the link on the OneNote page takes you back to Outlook. The page in OneNote is linked to the appointment on the Outlook calendar. You can type in your notes, drop in bits of web pages, include a picture, link to a document – there’s no end to the information you can put on the page relating to that meeting.

Pushing that button opens a page in OneNote with the details of the Outlook appointment, and a blank space titled “Notes.” When you highlight the appointment in your calendar, the ribbon bar includes a OneNote button, as shown above. The easiest example: think about attending a meeting that’s on your Outlook calendar. It opens up a completely new way to use OneNote – almost as an accessory to those programs rather than a standalone program, with all of OneNote’s power to hold different kinds of information (notes, pictures, links, screenshots) and link those notes to items in the other programs. OneNote 2010 has been tightly integrated into Outlook, as well as Word, Powerpoint, and Internet Explorer.
