If you are new to Windows 8, you probably noticed, that the OneNote application looks and feels very different from other versions of OneNote. How are you looking for? What happened to the menus? The new Windows should avoid distracting you with commands that you do not need, but all that may change a little intimidating at first. Do not be afraid! In this blog post we will learn how to use the OneNote application from the Windows store. These tips and tricks can be used other Windows store apps on most. If you OneNote yet, download it now and the consequences- not it's free!
Instead of the traditional menus and toolbars, the OneNote Windows memory app uses so-called app bar, which appears when you right-click mouse button or swipe your finger in from the top or bottom of the screen. You can see the example in OneNote:
The app bar is contextual, meaning that you see different commands, depending on how you open it. For example, if you see with the right mouse button or cross blow (more on that later) to a page in the navigation pane of OneNotes you specific commands for the page, as you delete it or fixing it to your Start menu. Various commands shown when you drag your finger from the top or bottom edge of the screen.
OneNote added the app bar with a unique selling point, the radial menu, you find not called in most other Windows store apps. Try this: type text in OneNote, highlight it and press the round button with an A in the middle. See a menu that looks like:
In this context, the radial menu offers options, on the text, which you selected have applied, such as changing the font or copy and paste. Press the purple buttons on the outer edges of the menu, and see even more choices. Just like the app bar the radial menu is contextual and displays different commands, depending on how you it--try for example to open, to open the radial menu, notice without text to select, and the difference.
In the past, the various applications had their own way of doing things; only, because you knew you in Microsoft Word look like didn't knew you like in Firefox to search. The new Windows solves this problem the stimuli bar, with a single, consistent access to common functions such as search, sharing, and settings in each Windows Storage app. To open the stimuli bar, move your mouse to the bottom right corner of the screen, or you have a touch screen, swipe just your finger in the right side of the screen.
Play with charm bar and look at everything that you can do! For example, searches the search button within the app that you just opened. Meanwhile, the share button share information on another app; for example, in OneNote to share your notes to a friend email. In applications that support printing, you will find this feature under the button devices. (Sorry, the OneNote Windows store app doesn't support printing yet, but rest assured that we have heard there are requesting your feedback.)
As already mentioned, the app bar with contextual commands brings you with the right mouse button on an object with the mouse. But how we bring up the contextual app bar with touch? It's simple: Use the cross-swipe gesture. In OneNote, stroke from left to right on the name of a notebook, section, or page appear in navigation. This opens the app bar and displays features in connection with the item, which you cross stolen. Lay using many other Windows Storage apps, so this is a really useful gesture!
The new OneNote Windows store app brave reinvented for modern computer technology and contains many important improvements. However, it is undeniable, that is quite different from previous versions, and we know that the change can be a little scary. We hope this blog post your transition a little easier and helps you the most out of OneNote and make all the other Windows store apps!
