Three great things are newly available. The first is that the web version of OneNote is now available to the public. Here's the official blog post . This is something I've been waiting a long time for, and it nicely solves a few problems: When you want...

Years ago I remember playing the original Halo game and marveling at, among many marvels, how the game seamlessly taught me the controls as part of the storyline of the game. I had not owned or played console games before then since my old Atari days...

Good old David Rasmussen who is Group Program Manager of OneNote has built (in his "spare" time) a way to send printouts to OneNote 2007 directly on 64-bit Vista and Win7. It's a little clunkier than the built-in 32-bit only solution that comes with OneNote...

There's a new website called iheartonenote.com . It's a place to discuss OneNote with other people, share tips, notebooks, etc. So many people post emotional connection stories about OneNote that "heart" seems appropriate (FWIW, last time I checked a...

It's been about a month since we went live with officelabs.com. Of course as a team we’ve been operating a little over a year, but only now do I get to talk about that period. I thought I might fill you all in on my transition from OneNote to Office Labs...

Just a quick note today. Mike Tholfsen (OneNote Test Manager / ninja as mentioned a couple of posts ago) has finally started a blog on OneNote in education. Mike has been passionate about this topic for years and it is good to see him starting to talk...

For some time I've been quiet about what I have been up to since leaving the OneNote team in the capable hands of David and the gang . Well, today my new team's external site went live at http://officelabs.com . As you can see on that site, Office Labs...

It's been awhile since I have posted anything here, and for that I feel shame. It's just that Dan and John and others are doing such a great job. Another guy who's doing a great job but isn't blogging yet (he's shy) is Mike Tholfsen. Mike is the test...

It's getting hard to keep blogging about OneNote in detail now that I am no longer on the team, but I thought I would do a little round-up of some interesting developments in the last couple of months. Onenote usage is really taking off as I talked about...

What an exciting three months OneNote 2007 has had out in the marketplace. By every measure OneNote 2007 is a hit! Check out this blog activity for one thing: Blog posts containing "OneNote" over the last 360 days taken May 9 (from Technorati ) Traditionally...

I'm hearing some buzz about a 90-day offer going on in Australia. If you are a student at one of about 30 universities, you can get the "Ultimate" edition of Office 2007 (includes OneNote!) for AUS$75 which is about 5% of what it costs to buy if you were...

Dan Escapa is on a tear releasing a set of new PowerToys for OneNote 2007. What's going on is that a whole bunch of PowerToys were written internally on the OneNote team and by some of our "friends" inside the company over the last six months. As the...

Yes, the final code of OneNote 2007 is now available for purchase in an actual box (with a curvy corner no less and fancy pull out center: here are some samples if you haven't been down to a store yet). Of course OneNote is available along with Office...

I sometimes get asked if there is a "viewer" available for OneNote files. There are viewers available for Word, Excel and PowerPoint (among others) so this is a natural question. The answer for OneNote is yes: it is called the trial version. You download...

As Dan mentioned on his blog , those of you waiting to try out the final code (everyone currently using beta for sure!) can now download a 60-day trial of OneNote 2007 here . There is a full trial of Office 2007 Professional as well which of course is...

We're done! As you may have heard, 2007 Office System (including OneNote!) went golden on Friday. We had a great ship party with lots of OneNote purple hair and not just on the OneNote team! I'd like to thank all of you who participated in the beta program...

Just a quick note to let you all know that if you are using beta 2 of OneNote, you can download the new tech refresh here . Note that this is *not* a single click update. Read the instructions on the page before installing or you will regret it. This...

What happens when you put together a dedicated Test Manager, a loyalty-inspiring hot product, and some talent for music? You get the next great underground internet music hit: My One and Only OneNote . (click to listen - recommend you open the link in...

Hey folks, this is a quick note to let you know first of all that I am back on the blog after a 2 month hiatus for baby leave. I've just spent the last hour clearing out hundreds of fairly nasty comment spam so sorry if you had to endure that in your...

Hey, two years ago I blogged about my first child Ciarán being born. Now I find myself with another son. Skye Ryuto Pratley was born June 13 at 6:06pm. He was 7lb 11oz (3474g) at birth (only 22g less than his brother), 20in (505mm) long, with brown-black...

***update June 15, 2010*** If you have Onenote 2010, the easiest way to sync notes across PCs is to store the notebooks on SkyDrive. Either create notebooks on Skydrive at office.live.com and open them into OneNote, or from your PC, use File/Share and...

Some time ago when I announced that OneNote 12 was going to be called OneNote 2007, I mentioned that we were also part of two Office suite offerings this time: "Home and Student" and "Enterpise". From our perspective this is great news, but a lot of people...

How doth OneNote 2007 love Outlook? Let me count the ways… From the beginning of OneNote we've had a lot of requests to deepen our integration with Outlook. In 2003 we had several connection points: you could email notes directly from OneNote if you had...

Over on the Word blog Joe Friend has broken the news about the new blogging support we've added to Word 2007. I'm happy to say that OneNote 2007 is also going to benefit, as a feature I have long wanted will now come to OneNote 2007 - blogging support...

I just got a great tip from a colleague at work ( Richard Sprague ) that I wanted to share. Since it is related, I thought I'd also include a tip I got earlier from Barry Brahier. Richard came up with a way to transcribe audio recordings into OneNote...
