✔ Create a notebook for use by multiple people.

In Chapter 18, “Explore OneNote 2010,” we discussed the basic Microsoft OneNote 2010

data storage structure (notebooks, sections, and pages) and took a tour of the sample

notebook that comes with OneNote. As you’ll see in this chapter, there are many ways of

structuring a notebook. The important thing is to create a structure that is easy for you

to move around in so that you can easily find the information you want when you want it.

With OneNote 2010, you can create notebooks for your personal use on one computer,

for use on multiple computers, and for use by multiple people. The ability to contribute

and edit content in a shared notebook simultaneously with other people opens up many

possibilities for collaboration.

In this chapter, you’ll create a OneNote notebook on your computer and learn how to

create a notebook that you can access from more than one computer or in which you

can collaborate on content with other people. You’ll create sections and section groups

in your notebook, and add pages and subpages to the notebook so that you are ready

to start storing information.

Practice Files You don’t need any practice files to complete the exercises in this chapter.

For more information about practice file requirements, see “Using the Practice Files” at

the beginning of this book.
