OneNote is now free
IainB:
Just some notes, following my comments and others', above. Sorry I was in a rush and did not put these in earlier. These are some potentially useful links:
* 7breaths - occasionally has some good user posts about OneNote.
* Engineering OneNote Blog - very informative and worth a read, but now closed, with Onetastic (Omer Atay) kind of picking up the threads.
* MS Office Answers (all OneNote discussions) - potentially informative and useful if you want to see what problems/queries other users are having or need advice about OneNote. A busy forum. Make posts there if there is something you feel you have to offer to help.
* Office OneNote Gem Add-Ins - Commercial ($PAID) and proprietary add-ins that mostly seem to do what you can probably do with OneTastic macros ($FREE), so I haven't wanted to use any of these add-ins, and cannot really comment. Probably useful for users who haven't got the knowledge or expertise to use Onetastic macros.
* OneNote Office Blog - mostly product news.
* Onetastic - I describe it as a "forum" because you can post comments and also upload your own-developed macros to share with other users. There are a few seriously useful OneNote macros or add-ins on this forum/website. The macro language is under ongoing development, and not all the macro commands can necessarily use all of the functionality of OneNote and get the expected result (from my experience of writing some macros).
* MS Office 2013 US$9.95 Corporate/Enterprise Home Use Program - Mini-Review - on DC Forum.
* Microsoft OneNote - some experiential Tips & Tricks - on DC Forum.

Thanks!

^^ That's looks like an interesting list. I shall have to go through those one by one.

Hi,
I'm comparing the Onenote 2007 that is incidentally on my system with the new Onenote 2013, now fully free.
2007 can be run fully in a home-base desktop mode, while the 2013 free is a cloud item with no home-disk access (other than a type of backup).
Is there a 2013 paid that is architecturally more like the 2007? What would be the most economical way to do that, ignoring the rest of Office.
The color is more vivid in the 2007. This might be a question though of modern cloud thinking, and able to be adjusted. (Style-sheet?). Or simply a style preference.
2007 has dropdown menus, the 2013 has the ribbon interface.
2007 comes with three built-in notebooks, one a Onenote 2007 Guide, the other two function as templates, and are rather decent, personal and work. I might make copies of these and actually use the notebooks. Is there any equivalent in the cloud ?
Related to this, and also a general question ... can 2007 Notebooks be exported to the 2013 cloud with no difficulty?
(This leads to a few questions as to whether you are trying to synch, or simply allow external web viewing.)
2007 has each notebook as "tab on left" type of indexing, while 2013 set up an index page that acts as like a cover book. While I prefer 2007 for speed of switching, the 2013 might have some nice aspects. Oh, the two tabs on bottom left 2007 "All Notebooks List" and "Unfiled Notes" are nice, I don't see an equivalent in 2013.
2007 has a very nice toolbar implementation, which is apparently quite limited within the ribbon interace in 2013.
If you do have the 2007 available, and prefer working from the desktop file, what advantages are there in 2013?
And is there an inexpensive way of having the 2007 home-base utility in 2013?
===========================
From the pictures here:
https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=31755.0
I see the "Page List" sidebar, yet the word sidebar does not appear in the Onenote help.
The small tabs on the left.
Are those pages moved over from the starting spot on the right? Or something else.
==========================
Additional questions.
Is there any way to get a box line around rectangles on a page? (when it is not in focus.)
Same question about background color inside the rectangle?
Can a whole Onenote page have a background (e.g. corkboard, cream color?)
==========================
Overall, I am rather impressed, I still like the way that you can avoid the white space problem with multiple boxes.
Though I see it has, overall, lots of nice stuff. I'm not sure I would like it to be too cloud oriented.

Curt:
Because it suddenly is free, I installed OneNote 2013 on my Win 7, for testing. Having now removed the program, using Revo Uninstaller Pro > Advanced, there are still a lot of OneNote entries in the various right-click context menus. How disappointing! Can "you" (anyone) help me, please, to remove these?
:tellme:
-------------------------
Oops, silly me! OneNote 2013 did not overwrite OneNote 2010, so I still have that one installed. Never used, but forgotten.
