Microsoft OneNote 2016 – Create Quick Notes

Think of Quick Notes as the electronic equivalent of a little yellow sticky note. Unlike paper though, Quick Notes are instantly saved to your OneNote 2016 notebook so you can search and organize them.

You can create a new Quick Note while OneNote is running:

1. Choose the View tab > New Quick Note.

2. Type your note in the small note window. You can format the text by using the commands on the mini toolbar that appears. (If you don't see the toolbar, click the ... at the top of the window.)

3. Repeat the previous steps for any additional Quick Notes that you want to create.

You can move Quick Notes anywhere on your screen and leave them there for as long as you need to refer to them. When you’re done with a Quick Note, close the window.

Note:

Closing a Quick Note window does not delete the note.

Like regular notes, OneNote automatically saves your Quick Notes as soon as you’ve created them and whenever you edit them.

Quick Notes are stored in the Unfiled Notes section in your default notebook.

You can find them quickly by opening your Notebooks list (click the down-arrow next to the name of your notebook and look at the bottom of the list for Quick Notes).

Microsoft OneNote 2016 – Search for Tagged Notes

If you've previously added tags to any of your notes, you can search for the tags by using tag keywords. In OneNote the results appear in an easy-to-read summary.

Create a summary of tagged notes:

Note: Note tags need to be associated with typed or handwritten notes in order for them to appear in your search.

1.     Click the Home tab > Find Tags.

 

2. In the Tags Summary task pane that opens, click any tag in the list to open the page that contains the associated tagged note.

Note: To narrow the search, at the bottom of the Tags Summary task pane, click the Search drop-down, select a narrower search scope from the list, and then click Refresh Results.

If you want to view the tag search results as a notes page, click the “Create Summary Page” button at the bottom of the Tags Summary task pane.
