Five OneNote tips from the writers of The Conjuring

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

Twin brothers Chad and Carey Hayes wrote this summer's blockbuster, The Conjuring, using OneNote. Now the acclaimed screenwriting duo share their top five tips for beginning writers.

 1: Write. Write. Write.

The secret to being a writer is no secret at all. Just write. Write anywhere and everywhere you can. OneNote is great for writers because you can use it virtually anywhere and on nearly any device. Have a few minutes in a coffee shop? Write a couple paragraphs on your tablet. Get an idea on the bus or train? Open OneNote on your phone and write it down. Writing is a skill that must be honed. We write every chance we get.

 

2: Read everything you can get your hands on.

Great writers read as much as they write. If you're a screenwriter, read scripts. If you're a novelist, read novels and short stories. Read bad stories then think about how you would make them good. Read good stories and come up with ways to make them better. We are reading scripts all the time, for both work and our own enjoyment. OneNote makes it easy because we can carry hundreds, even thousands of scripts everywhere we go on our tablets.

 3: Start with an outline.

This part is so important, we're going to repeat it here: start with an outline. We work out the big ideas in outline form long before we write a single line of dialogue or action. Remember, "If it doesn't work in the outline, it won't work in the script." The outline is your roadmap; don't be afraid to return to it again and again as you craft your story. We keep our outline in OneNote right next to the working draft of the script for easy access.

 4: Write. Edit. Repeat.

Writers are revisionists; that's the nature of the job. For The Conjuring we had roughly 150 drafts of the script before we reached the final one. And we have every single one of them saved in OneNote. We rewrite sections (and sometimes entire drafts) dozens of times before we ever submit a script. Then, we'll incorporate notes from studio executives, producers, actors, and the director again and again during the production process. OneNote inking technology lets us easily annotate on the script during meetings using our stylus and touch. Then we can quickly revise it and send another draft to everyone involved. No more hours-long editing sessions. No more costly printing. No more lost notes. It's all done right there in OneNote.

 

 5: Try writing with a partner.

We may be a little biased here but having someone to bounce ideas off of is a great way to stay creative and push the story. We write together during the day, and then at night we each take the working script home in OneNote. There we'll make notes about the day's work - inking up the script, writing questions and exploring ideas right in OneNote on our tablets. And we can each see what the other has written in real time. Working with a partner has given us that ability to expand our creativity and writing in ways we never could have done on our own.

Bonus: Get OneNote

If you haven't picked up on it by now, we're big fans of OneNote. We've used it for years to write our screenplays. OneNote lets us keep all our research together along with our outlines and various drafts. We can easily use the search function to find exactly what we need, when we need it. OneNote is like having your own personal writing assistant.

Halloween planning with OneNote

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

Olya Veselova is a Program Manager on the OneNote team.

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I love getting dressed up, but most of my fun comes from making elaborate costumes for my husband and me. Whether it's a Renaissance dress or a pirate outfit, I've used OneNote to collect ideas, sketch, and annotate to come up with some of my most creative costumes yet.

I use Screen Clipping (Windows+S) or Send to OneNote with the OneNote Clipping tool (Windows+N) when I see pictures and ideas online. With OneNote, I can paste them into all over the page and rearrange. My OneNote page is a brainstorm where I can collect ideas and keep them all in one place. Here's a few examples from my notebook:

I love drawing over photos to get a rough idea of what the final costume will look like. Check out my sketch-up over a photograph of my husband Jason...I definitely decided to go with this costume!

 

I could sketch out measurements and layouts on paper, but I prefer to do this on my tablet in OneNote. This way, I can look up measurements in OneNote on my phone when I'm in the fabric store and trying to decide how much fabric to buy. Here's some measurements from previous costumes.

My favorite part of Halloween costume planning in OneNote is that all my content is accessible in one place.

For example, I recently made a costume cloak with blue LED lights sewn into the lining. I had to brush up on what I learned back in school about electricity - I could just paste what I learned online into OneNote, and it preserved the link back to the site.

 I also made an animation in PowerPoint to see how the lights would go on and off, and just attached the file to the page (Insert > File Attachment). It's so easy to access later.

 Finally, I sketched my circuit layout right over the picture of the lining in OneNote.

In the end, my circuit didn't work quite like I intended, but the blue lights still looked cool:)

OneNote has helped me make several fun costumes over the years for my husband and me. What are you going to be for Halloween? How have you used OneNote for project planning? Share out in the comments below!

How professional baseball announcer, Joe Block, uses OneNote

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

Top-level baseball announcers have their work cut out for them. Over the course of a 162 game season (plus Spring Training and Post-Season), they have to keep track of the statistics and stories of hundreds of players. And, in addition to calling the action as it happens on the field, they have to entertain and inform thousands of listeners between pitches. We spoke with Milwaukee baseball announcer, Joe Block, to see how he makes this daunting task seem so easy. 

Hi Joe! As part of your job, you have tons of information to keep track of. How do you do it?

A lot of people think baseball announcers have a team of assistants and statisticians helping them. Well, we don't. I've found OneNote to be the best option to keep all my player stats and stories together so I can grab any bit of information I need at a moment's notice.

How do you collect all the information?

I do about two hours of research every day. I'll scan baseball websites, read newspapers, and even talk to the players themselves. It's easy to enter everything I learn into OneNote. I can simply copy and paste text from webpages, save a photo or video, type in an interesting story, or jot down a stat from my home computer, tablet, or even my phone. It's all stored in OneNote and accessible when I need it.

How do you call up information so quickly during a game?

I have to be ready for anything and start talking about it at a moment's notice. If there's a game-ending homerun, I have to be able to talk about the last time that particular batter hit one. The last time the pitcher gave one up. And share any interesting anecdotes that I may have heard about the situation. I have all of that information in my OneNote and, using search, I can find it easily and keep talking without missing a beat. 

What did you do before OneNote?

I tried it all. I had stacks of binders. I had crates of note cards. But they were always so big and bulky, and it was difficult to find what I needed when I needed it. OneNote keeps everything together in one convenient place, that I can access from virtually anywhere on my phone, laptop, or tablet.

What else do you use OneNote for?

I also use OneNote to keep track of daily tasks before, during and after the game. I store questions for players, interesting statistics or anecdotes I want to explore further. Considering all that's going on before a game, OneNote helps keep me on point whether I'm in the booth on my tablet or around the batting cages, checking my phone.

There are millions of people, like Joe, who use OneNote to make a difference in their personal, and professional lives. You might be one of them. We'd love to hear how you use OneNote to make your life easier. Share your OneNote story with us in the comments.

OneNote Jump Start recording available

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

JumpStartA couple of weeks ago, we did a live, 2-hour course on getting started in OneNote 2013. It was all about getting organized, taking notes, and sharing information. If you missed it, no worries, because the recording is now available here: http://aka.ms/OneJump.

After you sign in to the Microsoft Virtual Academy site, you can watch the videos and follow along at your own pace. You can also download the OneNote workbook we used in the session.

The course uses examples that are common in the IT field, but the stuff we teach will ring true for people in other industries as well. I mean let's face it: we are bombarded with gobs of information every day. And OneNote is a great way to collect, organize, and make sense of it all.

So watch the videos when you're ready. Or share them out at your company so that other people can learn the power of taking notes, sharing, and collaborating with OneNote.

OneNote updated Windows store app for touch and Office 365

Today we release another update for OneNote for Windows Storage , which will add two things. First of all, you can now login with your Office 365 account so that you can easily open your work notes. Secondly, we have facilitated to dismiss the keyboard on your touch device.

If you already the app, just tap the store -Kachel in Windows 8, and then tap or click top right on updates . You have not the app yet? You can download it here.

Has your work or school Office 365? It's great to keep your working notes in the cloud with Office 365, and OneNote. With the update, now can you just login with your Office 365 and see all notebooks that you have recently used.

Here is how:

3. Sign up with your work or to the school account.

4. That's it! Now, you see a list of the most recently used notebooks. Tap a just to open it.

One of the best things about OneNote is that you can enter anywhere only. You want to record something from the page? Go ahead. OneNote is your way out and lets you concentrate on your notes.

But sometimes you want to omit. Can now dismiss you, the onscreen keyboard, so you can see the whole screen to read.

In Windows 8 you don't have to usually the keyboard thinking. It is evident, when typing in the text box type you and it goes way when you tap outside. It works great. Like so typing "out there" in OneNote? Just tap an empty area and the keyboard goes away.

If the keyboard is down, touch anywhere to bring and take notes to start.

Check out the new OneNote for iPad, iPhone and Android

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

OneNote has long been a favorite place to track what's important in life--jot down ideas, plan a trip, keep a shopping list, check to-dos, and share with family or coworkers.  You told us you wanted OneNote on all your devices, so we delivered OneNote for Windows desktop, Windows store, Windows Phone, iPhone, iPad, Android, and the OneNote Web App all in sync via SkyDrive.

We're committed to giving you a great experience on whatever device you have!  You've also given us feedback on new capabilities you want and we're constantly working to improve it based on your input.

New OneNote Apps for iPad, iPhone and Android.

Today, we are proud to announce major updates of OneNote for iPhone, iPad and Android. We internally call them our version 2 apps, (after all they're twice as good as version 1).  We know you're going to love them. These apps are based on an almost entirely new code base that delivers a full-powered OneNote experience across each device with more reliable sync that "just works."  Our re-engineering investment also enables us to continue making improvements more quickly moving forward. 

So what does this mean for you? Let's check it out...

You've asked for rich editing and a consistent experience across devices - something no one has delivered to date - until now!  With the new OneNote updates all formatting looks exactly the same across devices - this includes text formatting, tables with shading and borders, layout and so on. Hyperlinks and note tags are consistently supported. Even ink from your Windows tablet is shown on iOS and Android now. In short, your notes look the same, all the time, on all devices.  Below is a comparison of what you see in the new OneNote for iPad compared to the previous version - what a difference!

The new versions of OneNote show your notes exactly as you expect with rich formatting.

OneNote for iPad now has the Office Ribbon UI that makes it easy to design and layout your notes exactly as you want.  You have access to the rich formatting you know and love from the other Office apps -- text formatting including font, size color, style, bold, italic, underline, strike through, highlighting and paragraph formatting such as bullets, numbering, indent, and alignment. You can insert and edit tables. You can edit hyperlinks. You can create check lists and tag your notes with a variety of options...it's all there!

The new Ribbon UI on the iPad make it easy to format and edit your notes.

We heard loud and clear that our business users needed the ability to sync work notebooks with Office 365 and SharePoint, and that's now live in the new apps!  As always, the apps sync great with SkyDrive, but we've made that simpler and more reliable, too.  OneNote also now lets multiple people edit a note at the same time and see other peoples changes simultaneously (unlike most note taking apps in which you'll lose what you wrote if anyone else edits the note at the same time).

SkyDrive and SharePoint (on premises, and Office 365 SkyDrive Pro) are supported.

Finally, I'm happy to share that these apps are currently available for free with no limit on the number of notes you can create - another great update from the prior version.  With OneNote, you can take notes while you're offline, sync without limits and collaborate with others -- unlike some note taking applications which charge for these capabilities.

You can get all of the OneNote apps from http://www.onenote.com/, or you can directly download OneNote for iPad or OneNote for iPhone from the Apple App Store and OneNote for Android on Google Play today. 

We hope you enjoy the newest OneNote apps and keep your comments, feedback and ratings coming to help make the future OneNote even better.

-- David Rasmussen, Principal Group Program Manager (on behalf of the whole OneNote team who worked hard to bring you this)

Where have you spotted OneNote?

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

Nicole Steinbok is a Program Manager on the OneNote team. She has many dreams, including being on Dancing with the Stars.

I have a wish, a dream, a hope, a fantasy... that one day during a meeting at work, my team will break into a spontaneous, awesome, synchronized dance. Alas, it has not happened-yet. The closest I've been to having my wish fulfilled is this Surface Pro ad.

I love it! My kids love it! We've watched it many times. Then I noticed something: This is a Surface ad, but when you watch closely it's also like it's an ad for OneNote.

At 0:03, there's the OneNote 2013 icon.

At 0:11, the ladies launch the OneNote Windows Store App in unison. Launching OneNote is so fast that before then can even cross their legs they can take notes.

At 0:20, we see inking on a graph in OneNote.

 

 At 0:38, there's a creative way to work together.

At 0:42, the guy is so excited about his graph in OneNote he does a special dance.

At the end, our old nemesis--paper note-taking--makes an appearance. I love how they do away with it! But no matter how high they throw their paper notes, they will not sync to the cloud and so they will not be available everywhere. Sad.

If you want to move your paper notes into the cloud, take a picture of them and insert the image into OneNote. OneNote 2013 converts the image into text wherever possible (right-click the image, then select Alt Text to check it out).  OneNote 2013 converts the image into text wherever possible. You can even search the text in your images if you have selected that option.

Where have you spotted OneNote? Let us know in the comments.

Tips and tricks for the OneNote Windows Storage app

This post was written by Daniel Chandra, program manager in the OneNote team.

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!

Getting started Tip # 2: a travelogue from key West in OneNote create

(This is the second in a series on getting started with OneNote.) Read Tip # 1 create and set up a notebook to learn.)

Add photos, screenshots, and links to OneNoteHow many times can you to key West if you from the opposite corner - the Pacific Northwest? I went to key West to dry, to see totally different flora and fauna, and southern and Cuban cuisine.

So I created an ongoing travelogue in a OneNote notebook with photos, favorite restaurant info and my notes, I wanted to remind every last second. I will walk through how I it has made, so that you can add this type of content to your own OneNote notebook.

 The choice of a theme

OneNote has built-in themes or templates to the mood and the purpose of the project match. Florida's sky is beautifully blue, so I chose the clouds of blue template:

To add a template, click the arrow next to the new page, choose page templates, and scroll to find which you like.

Add photos

On my first day, I saw huge iguanas, wild orchids and countless sea view.  How could I take not dozens of photos?  I carved it down and choose the best to my notebook Add.

To add photos, click on Insert Image, then navigate to where you saved it on your computer, and select those Add.

Add captions and other text

Sometime after I return, I show you the photos and question me, where I spotted the iguana.

With OneNote, it is easy to create labels or add text anywhere on the page. Start simply and OneNote creates a "Container" for the words. You can drag & drop the container to any place on the page.

Add website screenshots

Key West is the "gourmet" sky. Its chefs serve all kinds of fish and seafood Cuban cuisine and BBQ in other dishes. To my best culinary experiences remind, I took screenshots of Web pages of the restaurants and threw them in OneNote.

OneNote has only the coolest tool for "access" and copying Web pages. (Explain, it is more difficult than doing it.) Simply follow these steps:

Open a Web pageIn OneNote, click Insert, click screen clipping in the foreground will automatically pop the site and appear that is dimmed the cursor in the area you want to crop cursor changes to a black cross which a cropping tool, and when you release the cursor, screen shot is automatically inserted into the notebook page, OneNote automatically adds the date and time of the screenshot, and a link to the Web page

Adding hyperlinks

There were so many attractions in key West, that I maybe a photo or link each add could not. Instead I have a list of links and small images.

To add a link, click Insert, then link, which link dialog box opens.  Add the name of the link, then copy the URL in the address bar .

 

Save your notebook

In OneNote, you have never over worry save your notebook. How to use content in it, OneNote stores automatically to the location where you created the the cloud, computer, and many tablets and phones can contain. We show you how to save your notebook at different locations in an upcoming tip.

Organize all the stuff

For my notebook key West you probably noticed that I created individual pages for my photos, favorite restaurants and other content. Read more information about the create and set up a notebook with sections and pages, Tip # 1 in our beginners series.
