540 Chapter 19 Create and Configure Notebooks
Creating a Notebook for Use by One Person.
OneNote 2007 included several notebook templates that created notebooks containing
sections and pages customized for their intended use. OneNote 2010 doesn’t include any
notebook templates; you simply create a basic notebook and then create the sections
and pages you want within it.
You can create a basic notebook, add content to it, and then organize the content into
pages and sections, or you can create an organizational structure and then add content
to the pages and sections. The best method will vary depending on the way you plan to
use the notebook—whether you are collecting a wide variety of information or working
on a highly structured.
If you work on only one computer, simply create the notebook in the default location (your
Documents\OneNote Notebooks folder). If you work on more than one computer
(such as a desktop computer and a portable computer) and have read/write access
from both computers to a shared location, you can create a notebook that you can
access from more than one computer. An appropriate shared location might be any of
the following:
● A shared folder on your primary computer
● A folder on a shared network location
● A removable storage drive (such as a USB flash drive) that you move between
computers
● A Microsoft SharePoint site document library
● A Web site
The first two locations are accessible only when you’re working on the same network as
the storage location; the last two are accessible only when you have an Internet connec-
tion; and the removable storage drive is accessible from any location.

a SharePoint site, or on a Windows Live SkyDrive site, see “Creating a Notebook for Use by
Multiple People” later in this chapter.
If you store the notebook in a shared folder on your primary computer, you can open it
from any other computer for which you have the same logon credentials. Choose a storage
location that will be available when you need it; for example, if you turn off your desktop
