Getting a handle on information in your job, and at home, can be overwhelming. There are so many sources of information in the information age. You may have Internet research, meeting notes, to-do lists, files, sticky notes, contact information, even the humble shopping list. OneNote is designed to help you keep track of all of this. It's great for doing research, taking notes, organizing lists, and so much more, and keeping it all in one place
