Microsoft OneNote is a powerful note-taking program that allows the user to store all of their notes and content in one location. OneNote can create, store, and organize numerous notebooks, create sections within each notebook, and create pages within each section.

OneNote's power lies in its ability to effectively organize content. You begin by creating a notebook that holds all of your actual content. Once a notebook exists, you can further organize content by creating sections and pages. For example, you could create a notebook called "School" that holds all of your school notes. Within that notebook, you could create a section for each one of your classes, and within those sections you could create a page for each day of class.

To create a notebook:

1. Open Microsoft OneNote 2010
2. Click [File] > "New"
3. Under "1. Store Notebook On:" choose "My Computer"
4. Type in a name for the notebook
5. Choose the location for your file
6. Click [Create Notebook]

To create a section:

1. When you create a notebook, OneNote automatically creates one section and names it "New Section 1." To change the default name of this section, double click the section tab.
2. Click the "Create a New Section" icon next to the most recent section to create a new one.
3. Type in a name for the section. To change the name of the section later, double click the tab.

To create a page:

1. When you create a section, a page is automatically created called "Untitled page." To name a page, type a title into the rectangular-shaped text box.
2. Press [New Page] to create a new page.
3. To create a sub page within a page, click the small arrow next to [New Page] > click [New Subpage].
