The only issue I have is exporting PDF and printing, it won’t print or export PDF good way organized pages if you have embedded Pictures figures in it. One way findings app has this good way to collect PDFs Onenote could easily get this feature but they are not doing even after so many feedbacks.

Here’s why it is not awesome:

Try copying anything at all along with the background (as in, you’d like to display a graph to a student).

Can’t be done. You can only do a screenshot.

In reply to Simon.

I really like your article. Each time I come back, I discover new stuff !
By the way, you mentionned wordpress-OneNote integration (through a plug in, or extension) : please note that you can also embed a OneNote page (live !) using an iFrame. Neating explained by Marjolein Hoekstra here (https://twitter.com/OneNoteC/status/891669749465321475)

Great article and good points Thomas. One point which is actually not a feature but is the biggest advantage of OneNote, in my opinion, is the structuring and organising easily in OneNote and that at any given time or point.
Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing!

Paul,
I’ve trained many people on how to use it. It really needs just a few explanations and you’ll be off and running. In 2 hours you can be an expert. Feel free to contact me at frankbyl@powerconcepts.ca.

Honestly? I have to say that MS seem to specialise in making things difficult. What is the point of software that does everything but you cannot find out how to do it. I put this program on a cell, tablet and a W7 and W10 laptop thinking I could replace Evernote which is so easy it’s like falling off a horse. :-)
I just tried to make a note and a few other simple tasks and I failed entirely. So badly in fact that having decided recently to totally commit myself to all things MS I may now be forced to do a U-turn and become a paid subscriber to Evernote.
I know some people love this program but after revisiting it four times over the last three years I simply cannot see why.
When I first started using computers I recall that an important first aspect of any software choice was a user-friendly interface so that non-computer people could use the program easily. If a computer person cannot use it what hope is there for MS?

OneNote is my favourite tool and probably the one application that I use more frequently than any other. Reading this article, I realized that I am probably only using about 1% of the power of OneNote. Thanks for this comprehensive and and extremely powerful article.

Thank you for the comprehensive list. This information needs wider dissemination to an education world that is sinking to its neck in Googlicous software and services. Once an educator uses OneNote with a class for a period of time, it becomes obvious as to its value in teaching and learning.
