No limit on the number of Notebooks
No limit of sections
No limit of pages
Integrate Outlook emails, contacts, appointments and tasks
Integrate Word, Excel and PowerPoint
Creating Table of Contents (TOC)
Creating links between Notebooks, pages and sections
Audio & video recording and finding specific spots of what has been recorded in literally a couple of clicks
Extracting text from pictures, screenshots etc.
And... much much more! All of which will be covered during these tutorials
A little about me:
Prior to becoming a Microsoft Certified Trainer and Microsoft Office Specialist across the Microsoft Suite (previously Microsoft Office) in 2008, I used to work as a Corporate Professional where maximising my work and speeding up tasks were key. Hence I decide to learn about all the tricks and tips that would really simplify my work.
It is for me a great satisfaction and joy to pass on my knowledge and receive feedback from my students who now feel so much more proactive and confident across the Microsoft applications. My goal is to hear my students say "wow" about what they are learning!
In these tutorials I will share with you not only what I have learnt during my 13 years of training others in the Microsoft applications, but also the many years of knowledge that I have gained by working in high profile Global companies. We will create real work scenario Notebooks which will truly help maximise and organise yourself on a daily basis.
Once this tutorial is concluded, you will feel fully confident in using this fantastic application and completely forget (if you wish) about paper notes. Most importantly, you will be able to access your notes, Outlook appointments, tasks and more, Word, Excel, PowerPoint all in one place by using the OneNote application.
Cool isn’t it!
So… ready to enrol? I really look forward to having you onboard so that you can all say goodbye to paper notes and hello to OneNote and become 100% more productive!
Let’s get started!
