OneNote a GMs holy grail :) (In case youve never used MS OneNote)

[Zustiur]

I just started entering information for my next campaign into onenote.
I've been looking for something this useful, and was expecting to make it myself. Now I don't have to because something far better exists!
I can't help wondering if there's an SRD in this format somewhere already... anyone?

Neat trick in OneNote: Type an equation with an equal sign at the end and press enter.

Hope this is helpful for someone

Dude, if you can write a multiple-part how-to article series on using MS OneNote as Game Aid tool -- either for Dragon or Johnn Four's e-zine Roleplaying Game Tips Weekly -- I'd be friggin ecstatic.

I love One Note. It is so easy that if you spend maybe 5 minutes you have the basics down.

Okay, so what's the basics?

It's really easy to learn, just take at the look at the included Guide it shows you the basics (and tricks) better than we will be able to do here.

If you just installed it then the Guide is already open (as Notebook), if you closed it then you should find it under "My Documents\OneNote Notebooks\OneNote 2007 Guide".

For I long time I used a simpler program called Keynote. It's free but no longer being developed. The only reason I moved away from it is because it's doesn't handle tables very well. Now I use My Notes Keeper. I find One Note kind of large and unwieldy. The two I have used are simpler, smaller, ans still very useful. I have a TON of game related stuff in there and it's very easy to organize.

Looks interesting. I am guessing OneNote is sold separately from Office Bundles like Visio is now?

It depends on the Office suite. It's included with Home and Student (The cheapest suite) and Ultimate (the most expensive).
