Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have tested Microsoft OneNote and here are my impressions. I have thought of this kind of software years (12 years ago) before Microsoft, but I didn't know how to program. This is when Apple and other Pen Computing companies were coming out with "Tablet PC". I am glad that Microsoft is developing this software now. It is a good piece of software, perhaps better than MS WORD in years to come. However, $199US is too expensive to charge consumer especially it doesn't have enough features as MS WORD. I think $39-$69 is more realistic for it's first version. I hope the programmers of OneNote take notes on these good and bad points.
First the good points:
- I like the interface; very flexible and easy to learn.
- I like being able to type, write anywhere and cut and paste from the webpages.
- I like the research tools both in the documents and websites.
- I like "extra insert writing space" that allow you to stretch your document as much as you want**
The bad points:
- No security protection on your documents
- Too easy to delete documents
- Doesn't allow OLE objects like video, MP3 audio, Flash, etc., to be inserted into documents. Only links. But even with this link feature, it is still user "unfriendly."
- No interlinking feature that allow documents to cross reference within the documents.
- Audio feature is primitive. No very fexible.
- No indexing feature- like automatic table of content, or indexes at the end of each section.
- Inflexible templates; pre-made templates doesn't really allow users to make their own
- Need to add drawing features like MS WORD
- Need to be to convert to PDF file, and import/export into WORD docs
=================================
** Unrated/questionable points:
- Tablet pc is needed to optimized the use of this software.
- Unknown amount of paper size (I don't know if it can store unlimited amount of electronic inks without crashing the system). Microsoft never point this out on their website.
- THERE ARE LOTS MORE POINTS BUT THERE AREN'T ENOUGH ROOM TO LISTED HERE. HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR ONENOTE.
