I am a subscriber for some time now, it helps me a lot in Excel, Powerpoint and it made me a believer in OneNote in a previous video when Leila showed how she uses it, the only thing I honestly don't understand is why this valuable channel has only half a million subscribers ?! it is a hidden gem, thanks Leila for all your help

Perfect! With Leila on our side, we can Unlock Power of Anything! Thanks again for another helpful video! :-)

Leila, I'm awe-struck by the quality level of your video tutorials. You have a deep sense of teaching. I've produced some internal tutorials at the company I work for and I can appreciate the amount of efforts it requires. Your attention to details is truly impressive. There's not a single word out of scope, no repetition, neat examples and your speech sounds absolutely natural (with a discrete and classy touch of charm on top). Are you doing all this by yourself our do you get the help of a team?

OneNote is the best app Microsoft ever created! I have used it since its intro and much of the last 10+ years of my life is documented in those notebooks but it is always great to hear another users view and application. To have meeting minutes in attendee hands before they have opened their laptop after leaving the meeting is nirvana! Thank you Leila. You are certainly pretty wonderful in your delivery and knowledge.

A powerful tool no one talks about is OneNote's ability to index audio. In a meeting or presentation, you can click Insert and then record. OneNote will record and index the presentation. If you take notes you can indicated the spoken phrase and then later do a search for that phrase and the recording will go right to it.

As a mature aged student starting a new under grad degree this year, there wasn’t a lot of information on OneNote that wasn’t exclusively business oriented, and I had to learn by doing. I’m so glad I found your site, I have learnt so many new things to enhance what I’m already doing, which is basically the keeper of all my course notes and research. We get the office 365 suite free from my university, and it’s been invaluable to sync across my devices, a windows laptop and an iPad. My degree is heavy on academic reading, so I ‘drag and drop’ downloaded PDF’s to reading mode directly into OneNote pages (setting up folder, section and page system beforehand is important, one PDF per page). This syncs directly to my iPad, which I do most of my reading on, via a comfy chair. Clicking on Draw, selecting highlighting tool, I use my Apple Pencil to highlight and pen to hand write notes (a finger works just as well). This then syncs to my laptop. When writing assignments via Word, it’s easy to refer to highlighted notes - enabling me to go completely paperless.

Very helpful tips particularly web clipper & hyperlink, this makes life easy Your explanation simplifies & i get hands on immediately

Thank for summarising all of the tips into a short concise video it’s just perfect 👍

WOW!!! Thank you again. Just watched other "Tips". Really helpful.

That meeting details is a game changer for me and my note taking. THANK YOU!

Another get tool in OneNote for taking minutes is the audio recording function...With the permission of the meeting attendees you can record the meeting and type notes at the same time. When you are finish the recording play links are created that correspond to the notes your typed. This allows you to skip to a specific part of the recording regarding the note you made, to hear what was discussed. I love it.

the 2 onenote sessions have been incredibly helpful! thank you!
