Features

Microsoft OneNote 2013 allows users to freely type, draw, or insert media anywhere on a document page. Microsoft OneNote 2013 combines aspects of Word, Paint, and Excel to make a free form document. You can start by typing out an idea and articulate it with a quick paint sketch. If your art skills aren’t very good you can instead opt to upload images from your computer, or search across Bing and Flickr. Occasionally there are minor hiccups when importing pictures from the web.

You can further improve your notebook by adding in time stamps, spreadsheets, web links, attaching files, or even recording audio. When you’re satisfied with your notes you can review and spell check all of your entries before sending it to other users. Microsoft OneNote 2013 allows you to send your note over e-mail, save as a large number of document types, or share via meetings and invitations.

Usability

Microsoft OneNote 2013’s interface is simple and easy to use. Each menu and tab is clearly labeled and includes recognizable Microsoft icons. Large plus signs will allow you to quickly insert new sections and pages on the fly. As with other Office products, Microsoft OneNote 2013 relies on use of the tool bar or corresponding hotkeys. You can also right click to bring up a convenient editing menu.

Quality

Microsoft OneNote 2013’s appearance is in line with other Microsoft Modern programs. The layout is very clean without any clutter. The program generally functions quickly, even when embedding or attaching large video files. Even if you become disconnected from your Microsoft account you can still work on a document and save it for later. When a session is restored you will be able to once again directly share with others or save to cloud storage.

Conclusion

Microsoft OneNote 2013 has many powerful tools to easily create a detailed notebook and share them with others. This trial will give you a taste of Microsoft OneNote 2013’s Windows 8 upgrades.
