Anyone using Onenote?

I don't have a character sheet template, but I always use one of those fillable PDF's and print it to One-Note (there is a printer installed from One-Note). If I have to enter something in the session (HP's, Notes, etc) then I write it with my tablet pc in a different color so I can easily see what changed until I level up then I update my original file and start anew.

Where is this printer option for Onenote? Perhaps I am just not seeing this, and how exactly does it work? I ask because I would love to have a copy of my players char sheets in my notes, that I can update when they level up.
 


Hmm I found my problem, it seems the Onenote printer driver cannot be installed on a 64-bit windows operating system. Just when MS wins me over for once with an amazing product... :) Oh well, sour grapes I suppose!
 

A good look at my Undermountain Campaign in Onenote:

I´ve always wanted to, well, just note all relevant Information directly on the map. And i did. And for 6 month of my Moonsea campaign, my players failed to trigger the portal to Undermountain. :p

Oh, and the picture has been made using Onenote, of course. I have all notebooks on a USB drive, and can access them on any PC which has onenote installed. And it´s secure, because Onenotes always backs up the notebooks to the PCs harddrive.
 

Was there supposed to be another picture in your last post? I dont see one?

Thats a good idea to put the notebooks on a USB drive, although I use a laptop, so I just normally take that with me. I already used my laptop for my DMing needs, now this program will GREATLY simplify my job.

EDIT: I also found a temporary workaround for not having a Onenote printer in vista 64, it requires a 50$ dollar printer driver, but it has a 30 day free trial. Ive used it so far and it works nice. http://blog.nils-kaiser.de/2008/06/20/how-to-get-back-send-to-onenote-on-vista-x64/ There is the link for any 64 bit users of Onenote like myself who want the print to one note option!
 


Gah! Beats my why the picture didn´t work the first time. Sorry Wonka - and i read your post and thought "hey, it´s showing up for me. Did he think i added two pictures?" And now i click on the thread again and it´s gone. Strangeness, your name is Picasa.

Anyhow: The picture:
