OneNote - Your Digital Binder

This OneNote Digital Binder is meant to assist you as you begin to navigate and use some of the OneNote's basic features. Many concepts were covered in the hands-on session, but a few additional concepts were added to help you in your OneNote journey. It is not a comprehensive user guide. The OneNote Digital Binder is a mix of Traveling Coaches custom content and outside web resources. On several pages, the two are mixed. That was intentional to demonstrate how easy it is to gather content from disparate sources and mix in your own unique perspective. Most importantly, now this is your Digital Binder. Your challenge is to add new information as you discover it.

OneNote and Outlook Task Syncing - OneNote notes as context for your tasks (from Olya Veselova)

Creating Outlook tasks directly from OneNote. They will be synchronized.

Outlook is my central place for managing tasks. I add new ones to the To-Do bar, or I flag incoming mail as tasks. However, tasks also come to mind when I am taking notes in OneNote. At that point, I can flag a note paragraph as an Outlook task:

The note is flagged in OneNote:

The task also appears in the To-Do bar in Outlook, where I manage it together with all my other tasks. If I mark the task as complete, it will synchronize back to OneNote.

When is creating tasks from OneNote useful?

While taking meeting notes - create follow up items

I often take meeting notes in OneNote. I flag any action items that come up as Outlook tasks. For example, I write down something like "Need to confirm schedule", and flag it as a "Next Week" task. Next week, I stare at this task in my To-Do bar in Outlook and have no idea which schedule I was thinking about. But I can click the OneNote link in task body to jump to the OneNote meeting notes page to get the context.

At the next meeting on the same topic, I may also check the previous meeting notes page to see if all the action items were completed. I can see that, because the task state of the flags is synchronized with Outlook.

Tasks related to a particular project - seeing them together in OneNote, with other related notes

In OneNote, I like to create pages for my project with a summary of remaining issues that I am tracking. Often there are tasks involved that I need to complete, so I flag them as Outlook tasks.

Same as with tasks from meetings, I jump from the Outlook task back to OneNote to refresh my memory about the context of the task.

The Outlook To-Do bar and the calendar view of tasks lets me manage my time. Whereas, the project page in OneNote gives me a project-centric view into any remaining issues and any remaining tasks.

OneNote 2010 lets multiple authors access a shared notebook at the same time. Anytime someone edits to the pages and sections in the shared notebook, OneNote automatically synchronizes the changes so that the notebook is always up-to-date for everyone.

OneNote also maintains a separate offline copy of the notes on each user's computer. That way, shared note-taking participants can continue to edit the notes locally even when they are temporarily disconnected from the network. The next time they connect to the shared notebook, OneNote automatically merges their changes with the changes made by everyone else.

Docking

Microsoft has also introduced a Dock to Desktop mode in order to keep OneNote in view. This snaps the OneNote window to the bottom, top or side of the screen, so that it’s always visible, much like the taskbar. Windows treats the edge of the docked OneNote window as if it was the edge of the screen –you can’t drag other windows over it.

The Linked Notes Feature and the Uses We Can Put It ToThe direct benefit of the Linked Notes feature is that you can take notes in a docked OneNote window on your desktop while you work side-by-side in the other programs. This linking allows you to refer back to either the note or the main document by clicking on the link. Quite simply, you don’t have to copy-paste information manually. You can use the Linked Notes feature to work with MS Word 2010 (or PowerPoint) and OneNote side-by-side. Plus, you can use Tags on OneNote (like, Remember for Later; To-do etc) to flag the notes or even assign an Outlook Task to it.

The ‘in context’ linking handshake between OneNote and MS Word or PowerPoint is a great help when you are looking to extend your research with extra notes and external resources. It takes away some of the headaches involved in organizing notes and puts it all within the reach of a mouse click.

OfficeForLawyers.comUsing OneNote for Research

Microsoft OneNote is not just a powerful tool for note taking, but it is also a powerful tool for researching information about those notes, cases, matters or other issues you encounter.Let's take an example. Let's say you're working on a matter for a client that involves a piece of property for sale. Below I've pasted in the content from a sample OneNote page that I created for our fictitious property matter. At the top you can see a photograph of the property - I took that picture with a standard Canon PowerShot Digital camera and copied it from the SD card directly into OneNote just like you might copy a photo of your vacation or your child. Nothing to it.

To the right of the image we have content from Zillow.com telling us facts about the piece of property, including a rough estimate of its value. Notice the link at the bottom of that content? If you select content on a webpage (with your mouse) then drag and drop that content into a OneNote page OneNote will automatically build a link for you that points back to the originating website!Below that we have more Zillow content plus Google Maps and a satellite picture from Google, showing the location of the property. I grabbed that content with OneNote's screen capture tool (Windows Key + S) and pasted it directly into the file.

If I wanted to take this even further I could look up the property in the MLS (Multiple Listings Service), I could look up the tax records, I could paste in more images of the property, I could interview one or more persons familiar with the property and paste the audio or even video files of those conversations into the OneNote page.

into the OneNote page.

I could create links in the page that connect to documents in my system relating to this matter.I can annotate all of these items using digital ink (if I have a Tablet PC) or just using text and bits created from my keyboard and/or mouse.

Best of all, most of the original links and formatting are preserved - if I want to go back to the source material I can click the link to go back to that website.

The possibilities are immense.

* Doing a Personal Injury case? How about a OneNote page with photos of the damage, the injuries, copies of the X-rays, photos and diagrams of where the accident occurred, Google Maps showing the site of the accident, links to news stories from the local newspaper archives showing that there have been 11 accidents at that intersection in the last 3 years…

* Family Law/Divorce? Photos of property in dispute, tables showing the assets of each party, links to sites showing the appraised value of various assets…

Anything you can find online or any kind of media you can produce in-house (photos, scanned documents, audio or video recordings...) you can gather into a OneNote notebook and arrange for easy reference.

Insert a photograph or image that has readable text in it and OneNote 2007 can OCR (Optical Character Recognition) that image and make that text searchable like any other piece of text in your notebook. Yes, business cards too.

How cool is that?

Give OneNote a try. If you don't already have it you can download a free, 60-day, fully-functional, trial from here.

Or if you're ready to buy you can buy it from Amazon.com here.Want to know what's coming in OneNote 2010? Read our preview.

The Hytech LawyerExploring Technology Solutions for the Modern Lawyer

THE PAPERLESS LAWYER—OneNote and MobileNoter (iPad)Posted on January 4, 2011 by Bill

One of the most important tools in my electronic arsenal is Microsoft® OneNote™. OneNote is an easy-to-use electronic notebook system. Heavy in features, OneNote is totally integrated with Microsoft Office. It typically can be purchased for about $100, if it not already integrated into your Microsoft Office software bundle. The program is intuitively designed, and flexible enough to allow it to be adapted to individual lawyer’s preferred organizational method.

Envision a conventional bookshelf of notebooks. The way I use OneNote, each notebook is a case file that contains the usual sections of a litigation file such as general information, pleadings, discovery, witness files, motions and orders, attorney’s notes, etc. [E-mail me if you would like a free copy of my litigation case template-- [email protected]]. Practically any kind of file can be copied into these OneNote sections for ready access. In addition, you can easily insert notes, e-mails, videos, and almost any kind of standard electronic file into your notebook. In addition, the program contains a screen capture function which provides “what you see is what you get” snapshots of your computer screen with optional reference stamp (date/source). These screenshots can then be filed in an appropriate place in one of your case notebooks. OneNote also has the ability to record audio and video and insert these into your case files in real-time.

With OneNote there is no more searching for one of the ten legal pads I have used over time to take notes in a particular case. My notes (and key case documents) are neatly filed by matter, date, subject, witness, or any other criteria I want to choose. Alternatively, I can do a word searches across all of my OneNote matters to find anything in the database. OneNote’s integration with Outlook allows for the easy transfer of emails to appropriate OneNote notebooks. You can also email almost anything diectly from the notebooks (e.g., sharing notes with a colleague). Task and calendar functions can also be cross referenced between OneNote and Outlook. I use the scheduled backup feature for daily backup of my files to our Firm server.

I have also found OneNote to be an excellent deposition preparation tool. Using OneNote you can create an electronic notebook for each witness with an outline and key documents. I simply provide the witness an iPad (discussed below) on which I present each document to be discussed. As a litigation road warrior, I find this much more efficient than schlepping around multiple bankers boxes of documents and witness notebooks.

When I began using the iPad as a supplement to my laptop a couple of months ago, I was delighted to learn that there is a iPad application that syncs with OneNote and allows you to copy over most of your OneNote files to the iPad and vice versa, although

The application is MobileNoter and it is free at the App Store. However, if you want encrypted cloud sych capability he cost is $16 for a year of service.

In summary, I highly recommend OneNote and its iPad companion, MobileNoter, as excellent organizational systems for the lawyer attempting to go paperless.

OneNote is a trial lawyer’s best friend •

For as long as I’ve worked on the OneNote team here at Microsoft, I’ve never grown tired of

hearing from real-life customers who sometimes take the time to tell us their stories about how

technology and Microsoft Office products have changed and improved their lives.

This month, it’s my distinct pleasure to introduce Bruce A. Olson, a trial attorney and nationally

recognized legal technologist. Bruce is the president of ONLAW Trial Technologies, LLC, a

consulting firm offering trial technology, eDiscovery, and computer forensic services. He is AV

rated, Board Certified by the National Board of Trial Advocacy, and the co-author of The

Electronic Evidence and Discovery Handbook: Forms, Checklists and Guidelines, published by the

American Bar Association. Bruce received the prestigious “TechnoLawyer of the Year 2002”

Award, was Chair of the ABA TechShow 2004, Vice Chair of the ABA TechShow 2003, and served

on the TechShow Board of Directors from 2000 through 2004.

Bruce wrote the following article to offer a personal account of how he came to discover and

ultimately rely on OneNote in his professional life. Even if you’re not a lawyer yourself, this

glimpse into how a professional uses OneNote in everyday life is sure to inspire ideas for using

OneNote in your own line of work. Bruce’s article will soon be available on the Office Online site

as well, but I’m posting it here on Nota Bene in order to provide you with larger screenshots

(click any of the images below to zoom to the larger versions).

The trial lawyer’s electronic notebook

By Bruce A. Olson

My opposing counsel kept looking at me with obvious envy as I made my argument to the

judge why certain key evidence should be excluded from the trial we were involved in. I could

tell from the look on the attorney’s face that he was puzzled how I could refer to portions of the

record, prior witness testimony, exhibits, case law, and a brief that I had previously submitted, all

without a single piece of paper in front of me. The only thing I used was my laptop and a

without a single piece of paper in front of me. The only thing I used was my laptop and a

mouse. He sat at a table with loose papers piled haphazardly, manila folders strewn about, and a

Bankers Box on the floor, stuffed to overflowing.

When my opponent was speaking, he spent as much time shuffling through his papers and

folders as he did addressing the court. Eventually, his disorganization began to annoy the judge.

At one point he simply could not find the case he was looking for. He begged the court’s

indulgence and promised he would provide the case reference later, after he’d had an

opportunity to reorganize his file during a break. The judge was not amused, was not willing to

wait, and ruled against him.

Later during the break, the attorney came up to me and asked how I could do it. “You did the

same thing during depositions,” he said to me. “How can you possibly have all those different

parts of a case file organized in one place and viewable on your laptop screen?” I told him the

solution was a good scanner and Microsoft OneNote 2007. I promised that when we were

finished presenting the case and waiting for the jury to return their verdict, I would demonstrate

how to conduct a paperless trial by using OneNote.

I was first exposed to OneNote when I received a complimentary license of what was then a

brand-new product at the ABA TechShow. After I returned home and began to play with the

product, I realized I had found a tool that had been an important missing link in my technology

portfolio. I was already a technology power user. For many years I had scanned all incoming

documents and loaded them and all internally generated documents into a litigation support

program.

This kind of database program offers powerful ways to slice and dice information and to rapidly

locate documents, photographs, and other electronic files. I’d also been an early adopter of trial

presentation technology. This allowed me to take a document or picture, put it in front of a jury

on a large screen or monitor, and highlight and annotate it just as John Madden does during

Monday Night Football. However, none of these products, as sophisticated as they were, really

gave me the equivalent of an electronic trial notebook. I needed an electronic legal pad, a place

where I could easily organize my thoughts, create outlines of questions, create scripts for

witness interrogations, and otherwise organize myself for either a deposition or a trial. I realized

immediately as I played with my first version of OneNote 2003 that I could now create the

electronic trial notebook I’d wanted. When OneNote 2007 became available, things only

continued to improve.

Most trial lawyers organize themselves for trial in one of two ways — the “Bankers Box with

manila folders” method or the “ring binder with colored tabs” method. Early in my career, I was

ambivalent about the choices. Then I saw someone drop a four-inch wide ring binder on the

courtroom floor. Several days worth of preparation went flying around the room, with no

possibility of pulling it back together before the judge was ready to start. From then on, until I

discovered OneNote, I was a “Bankers Box with manila folders” kind of guy. Because of this, the

transition to OneNote was pretty simple. In many ways, what I saw on my screen in OneNote

mimicked what I saw in the box and in the manila folders. However, if you happen to be a ring-

binder person, don’t worry. The transition to OneNote will be just as easy for you.

What makes OneNote such an ideal candidate for an electronic trial notebook? First, when you

open it, the opening screen looks like a blank page on a paper tablet. If you prefer, you can even

download a free template from the Office Online Web site to make your OneNote notebook

download a free template from the Office Online Web site to make your OneNote notebook

pages look like a traditional, yellow legal pad. The legal pad is the most basic of all attorneys’

tools, and this template can make even diehard traditionalists comfortable. I prefer starting with

a nice blank white page. Once you open the program, just click the File menu, point to New,

and then select Notebook. Then just follow the prompts in the wizard to create a new

notebook:

Each notebook contains all of the materials that you’ll need for your case. You can create

multiple cases and carry them all with you on your laptop when you go on the road. Also,

OneNote has a collaboration feature that allows multiple users to work together on one case,

with the ability to synchronize everyone’s work when desired.

After you create a case, you create sections that are like the manila folders in the Bankers Box

method of organization.

In fact, each new section defaults to a tabbed manila folder view running across the top of the

workspace. If you look at the pages in the section, it’s just like looking at pages in the manila

folders in your traditional file. Using sections in OneNote, I can organize my entire case in the

same way I always did. I normally have a separate section for pretrial motions and motions in

limine. I have one section for each party’s opening statement. I then add a section for each

witness. Finally, I add sections for exhibits, jury instructions, special verdict forms, and closing

arguments. I can also color-code the tabs at the top for easy navigation.

I typically color all of my witness folders the same color. I use a different color for the witnesses

called by the other parties as well as for their opening and closing statements. Each section then

contains the type of materials you would ordinarily have in your paper file, just in electronic

form.

It’s easy to add information to a section. An important feature is the ability to blind type

anywhere you want on a page. It means you don’t have to be a master of a word-processing

program to use OneNote. Just place your cursor wherever you want it on the page and start

typing. This is just like being able to write a note anywhere on your legal pad. OneNote also

supports handwriting recognition, so even if you can’t type, you can use this program with a

Tablet PC or with an inexpensive tablet input device like a Wacom Bamboo to handwrite your

notes.

To speed things up, I use voice-activated dictation, so I just place my cursor where I want the

note and start talking into my headset. I let the voice-activated dictation program do the rest. As

you write your notes, you create individual objects that are like text boxes. These can easily be

dragged to change the order, copied and pasted to a different spot on the page, or even pasted

to a page in a different section. The same is true for photos, screen captures, multipage

documents, and other types of objects you might add to a section.

If you can print out a document on your computer, you can just as easily send it to OneNote.

This functionality makes the program easy to use by someone who doesn’t have a lot of

experience with litigation software programs. All you need to do is make sure the items you

want in your case are scanned into a folder somewhere on your local drive so you can easily find

them. Open the item you want copied to the section in OneNote, and then open the Print

dialog box and select Send to OneNote 2007 as your printer.

The selected item will be printed to the page you have open in OneNote, with the cursor

position determining the insertion point. You can print the whole thing or just selected pages.

After you determine the parameters of the print job, just click OK. This works ideally for printing

photographs, documents and exhibits, legal motions and briefs, jury instructions, special

verdicts, and all the other types of documents that typically make up a legal file. You can print

from Microsoft Office programs, but you can also print from other Windows programs, including

Adobe Acrobat. PDF files are not a problem in OneNote.

While even a low-tech lawyer can use OneNote successfully, this doesn’t mean a high-tech

lawyer would want to look elsewhere. OneNote works successfully with all of the major litigation

support programs typically in use. Thus, you can have a huge case in a litigation support

database and use the sophisticated search tools to find the subset of documents you are

interested in discussing with a given witness. You then print the documents to the witness folder

or section, and they are ready for use in OneNote.

Alternatively, and particularly if you are using an online repository type of program where you

are accessing images by using a browser, you can use the OneNote Screen Clipping feature to

grab a copy of an image. You can also print to OneNote the different types of reports that are

typically generated from the spreadsheet view of the litigation support program. Since you can

also blind type at any spot on the page, it is simple to send a number of exhibits to a witness

folder first and then go back and develop your outline for questioning the witness. Just insert

the text next to the exhibit in the location you prefer. Once things are on the page, you can

rearrange by dragging or by cutting and pasting, using the typical shortcuts that every user of

Microsoft products knows how to use.

In addition to the print to OneNote function, you can use the Screen Clipping tool to get

information on the page.

This tool is ideal for capturing Web pages and other information gleaned from the Internet. It

works just as well as a way to capture selected portions of a document when you don’t want to

print the whole thing. It’s particularly useful for grabbing selected questions and answers from a

deposition transcript, or for grabbing selected quotes from a reported case.

To see how this all works in practice, assume you have a document that might be tricky to have

admitted into evidence. You want to set up a script for yourself to follow so you take all the

necessary steps to get the document admitted without objection. You can set up your line of

questioning in the following way: First, create a section for the witness you want to use to

introduce the document. Then, open the document in its native application. Assume it is a two-

page PDF that you’ve placed in a folder on your desktop. Print the entire document to OneNote,

so it’s now located on the OneNote page in the appropriate section.

Place your cursor above the first page of the document and start typing reminders of the types

of questions you need to ask the witness to lay a general foundation for the admissibility of the

document. Assume further that you have a hearsay problem with a statement on page two of

the document. Insert a note between the first and second pages to remind yourself to address

the hearsay problem before you try to have the witness read the statement in front of the jury.

Highlight the troublesome statement by using the yellow highlighter from the OneNote

annotation tools so it’s easy to reference.

Page 68: OneNote - Your Digital Binder (Hand7)ilta.personifycloud.com/webfiles/productfiles/703315/HAND7.pdfOneNote's basic features. Many concepts were covered in the hands-on session, but

Assume further that you expect the witness to lie and deny that he ever wrote the document.

Therefore, be sure to check his deposition transcript in advance, and find the section where he

previously admitted that he wrote the document and made the statement in question. Use the

Screen Clipping tool in OneNote to copy the questions and answers that relate to this

admission, and paste them below the second page of the document. Now you will be prepared

to impeach the witness with a prior inconsistent statement if he lies under oath at trial.

Assume you also have one of those stickler judges who requires you to cite the evidence code

by number rather than by a general description of the rule in question. Use the Screen Clipping

tool to grab a copy of the specific procedural rule from the electronic version of your court rules

or procedural statutes. For good measure, grab a couple of quotes from cases in which it was

ruled that the type of statement you’re trying to get admitted should be treated as an exception

to the hearsay rule. If you want the full cases instead, print them to OneNote and then highlight

and underline the important sections that relate to your argument with the annotation tools.

You’ve now pulled together all the pieces from your case file that you’ll need to get this

particular item into evidence over any objection the other side might raise. Everything is located

in one place, and you didn’t use a single piece of paper apart from printing the actual exhibit

you intend to offer at trial. You won’t need to rummage around at counsel table trying to find

the manila folder with the case law in it or the deposition transcript or the exhibit. Your line of

questioning will be clear, concise, and focused on the witness rather than on the piles of

materials.

These basic techniques can be adapted to address all of the typical functions a trial lawyer

encounters during trial. Because OneNote is so simple to use, anyone should be able to use

these techniques with a minimum of time invested in learning how to use the program. After

you have the basics down, you can adapt the ways you use the program to fit your style. Keep in

mind that it’s just as useful at depositions or motion hearings as it is at trial. In a sense, wherever

you use a legal pad, you should consider using OneNote.

We all know that organization is the key to success at trial. Being organized is important, but

appearing organized is also important. There is an intangible benefit to using OneNote at trial. If

the judge and jury see you working coolly and calmly from a laptop, never struggling to find

what you need, and seemingly able to adapt quickly on the fly, they will begin to give you and

your case extra credibility. At least that is what my opponent told me after I’d shown him how to

try a case in OneNote: “Bruce, you’ve made a convert out of me. As soon as I get back to the

office I’m going to learn how to use OneNote. Be prepared. Next time I’ll match you on the

battlefield!”

A tip for working with outlines in OneNoteJohn Guin

Comments2•9 Jun 2011 7:10 PM

I was digging through OneNote this week looking to increase test coverage for OneNote automation when I found this neat functionality. It made me remember my fifth grade science teacher Mrs. Jones, who loved outlines - she taught me more about outlines than anyone I have met since. She believed in lining up all your data in outline form to make study that much easier.Suppose you have an outline something like this:

In this outline, my main topic is "Animals." My two topics below that are Capybara and Chihuahua, and each of those elements have sub topics.

Put your cursor at the start of the level you want to extract. I'll put mine to the left of Chihuahua.1.Right click and notice the "Select" command on the context menu2.

From here, you can select "all at same level" to select all the elements at that same level within the page

1.

alternately, you can select "All at level 2" to get all those elements at that level2.

Select that flyout menu 3.

Now imagine this outline went on for 20 topics or more. If you need to study for a test, you may want to focus only on certain topics within the outline. You may want to focus only on the list of animals (the topic level of this outline, or "1" and "2"), or the characteristics of the animals (the sub-topics, "a" and "b"). Here's the tip - you can extract only that level from the outline! Here's how:

Here's what it looks like:

Pretty slick, right? Makes me want to go back to science class (or at least make me wish I had OneNote back then)!Questions, comments, concerns and criticisms always welcome,John

Can Microsoft OneNote be used as a legal case-management tool? Part 1.Bradley B. Clark case management, onenote Wednesday, January 06, 2010 This is the first of what I expect will be several posts about how I am testing OneNote 2010 (beta) as an eCase management tool. I would love to collaborate with you if you are in the legal profession and either use or are interested in using OneNote as an eCase management tool. I would also love to collaborate with you if you are not in the legal profession but use OneNote as a project management tool.

I have never used Microsoft OneNote before but when I downloaded Microsoft Office 2010 (beta)OneNote was included. I started playing around in OneNote and a few nights ago and the idea came to me that this might be a great addition to, and perhaps a good alternative to, traditional case management software especially in the eCase management arena.

Bruce Olson has a great post over at Nota Bene about how he uses OneNote in his trial practice. I will go a step further than Bruce and say that OneNote has the potential to be a fully integrated Microsoft eCase management system.

Visually Appealing

In my opinion, OneNote is much more visually appealing than traditional case management software. Additionally, OneNote's layout is familiar to users of other Microsoft products such as Outlook which makes it immediately user-friendly.Here is a screenshot of how I set up a test case in OneNote:

Here is a screenshot of Summation which I do use:
