OneNote is one app whose potentiality gets undermined under the shadow of other popular Office apps like Word and PowerPoint. In my opinion, OneNote, a note-taking application remains as a hidden secret in Office. The application is easy to use and crammed with features organized into a paper-like notebook – yet relatively very few use it. It makes access to your content in the cloud simpler with SkyDrive. We have already covered some basic OneNote tutorials, now let’s cover some more OneNote tips in this post.
