Exploring OneNote in the Default Notebook.
The default installation of OneNote 2010 includes one notebook, named Personal,
which has one section, named General. This section has four pages of information
about OneNote and examples of the types of information you can collect in OneNote
and ways that you can work with it.
In this exercise, you’ll take a quick tour of the Personal notebook while moving among
sections and pages, and displaying different views of a page.SET UP You don’t need any practice files to complete this exercise; just follow
the steps.- On the Start menu, point to All Programs, click Microsoft Office, and then click
Microsoft OneNote 2010.
OneNote starts. If this is the first time you’ve used OneNote, the first page of the
General section of the Personal notebook is displayed. - If the Personal notebook isn’t open, do one of the following to open it:
❍ If the Personal notebook is shown on the Navigation Bar, click its button.
❍ If the Personal notebook is not shown on the Navigation Bar, display the
Open page of the Backstage view, and click the Open Notebook button.
In the Open Notebook dialog box, browse to your Documents\OneNote
Notebooks folder, double-click the Personal folder, and then double-click
Open Notebook.
Troubleshooting If your school or organization has a specialized OneNote environment,
the Personal notebook might not be available. You can follow along with this exercise by
substituting any available notebook.
With the default settings, the ribbon is collapsed at the top of the program win-
dow, the Navigation Bar is collapsed on the left side of the program window, and
the Page Tabs Bar is open on the right side of the program window.
Troubleshooting If the program window doesn’t appear as described, don’t worry; we’ll
show you how to adjust the settings in this exercise.
