Summary: Long sought solution finally found
Comment: I have been searching for a solution in project management for over four years. Being a manager for a corporation, I am bombarded by emails, phone calls, documents, conversations, meeting, and employee performance discussions. Although Microsoft Office suites offer good tools to deal with these events, I could not find a solution to tie everything together.
I have relied on using task manager, handwritten journals and digital journals, and various project manager softwares, but none seemed to really solve my problem. I needed something to document in a journal like fashion of things that happen day-to-day but still tie in with Outlook calendar and tasks.
Until last week, while searching I discovered OneNote. Downloaded their free trial from Microsoft Online. Took some getting used to as the options and sections were so flexible. After one day of use, I'm sold on it. I can't believe this product had a 2003 version and didn't know about it. What a shame! All that lost productivity and organization. Better late than never.
If you need a way to organize your thoughts, events of the day, tasks to be completed in a single location but hyperlinks specific items to Outlook email, to do tasks, contacts, PDF/Word documents, and various projects, then this may be the answer.

Summary: great product
Comment: I had the 2003 version of One Note and I love the expanded functionality of this program. as a student it is awesome for keeping all my notes organized. Even for personal projects and business it is great because I can keep all my notes in one place, arrange it however I want, and not waste time opening separate files just to view stuff. I recommend it to everybody I know for keeping track of all your information.

Summary: It's What Using a Computer Should Be Like
Comment: MS Office OneNote 2007 actually does what is says - keeps all your info close at hand and so easy to get to. The notebooks that come included in the program are a snap to personalize, and taking a screenshot (or Screen clippings, as OneNote calls them) is finally easy. I started out looking for journal-writing software, and I came away with a whole lot more. As a writer, at last I've found a way to keep all the research (pictures, web-pages, ideas, scribbles) for my books (yes, plural!) available to hand, whether in a different section of the notebook currently open, or by using hyperlinks to connect to another section or notebook. (And I highly recommend downloading the separate Word Count PowerToy.) Included in the software is an extremely useful HelpGuide, a complete notebook on its own. You can even make new pages or sections in the Guide to include your own tips. (I do have to say, though, that the Help button found in the top toolbar is totally worthless.) All in all, this product is definitely worth the money.

Summary: Part of the crowd
Comment: This has got to be one of the most under publicized Microsoft products in their vast software library. I also think it is one of their better products. One of the coolest things is if you do a lot of research on the web when you copy from the web it adds the reference to the original source at the bottom of the copy so you never have to try to figure out where it came from or re-Google to try to find the source, just double click on the source. Also very cool is its abilty to read and search for word text in screen shots from any application that you paste into OneNote. So if you find yourself getting a little overwhelmed with data this is just about the niftiest organizer on earth. I have many GB in my notebooks and the search is very fast.
