      2. Copy link to notebooks and send to your email account
      3. On windows phone, open the above links from your email
      4. OneNote will be launched and notebook will get opened and synced.

    Note: if you go with option 1, make sure you have IE set to mobile version before go to http://office.live.com

    You might see OneNote failed to start with following error message displayed

    OneNote is unable to start. This may be caused by insufficient hard drive space or by insufficient write permissions for OneNote’s notebook cache files in you user setting folder.

  • OneNote Snipping Tool

    I previously used Alt+PrintScreen key for screenshots and then pasted into MSPaint and then edited the picture, and then capture just part of a screenshot. Now a better way is install Microsoft OneNote and take screenshot via the WinKey + S and then select the portion of the screenshot you want and paste anywhere.

    Note: this option also available under menu “Insert”  -> “Screen Clipping”

    And yes, it’s better than Vista/Win7’s snipping tool in my option.

  • Onenote 2010 Highlight Unread Changes

    OneNote 2010 has a new feature, it remembers notes you’ve read and highlights new changes since you last read. All new unread content on pages will be highlighted with green highlight. This is very helpful for people who use OneNote for team collaboration. Everyone can easily see what exactly others has added and/or contributed. The pages contain unread content will have bold text in tab and all unread content will be highlighted in green.

  • OneNote: Unread Highlighting cannot be cleared

    I recently upgraded to Office 2010 BETA and I notice an annoy bug in OneNote 2010.

    There is a feature in OneNote 2010 which will highlight unread content after notes are synced between two PCs. However, it can’t detect whether those content is read or not so the green highlighting will stay there forever.

    The workaround is right-clicking on the notebook and choosing to Mark as Read. By doing this you tell OneNote I read it and please remove the green highlighting. This also makes unread bolding go away.

    Update:

    29th April – This is gone in final Office 2010 RTM build 14.0.4763.1000
