OneNote is certainly not the Office application in 2007 the best known and most used. But this software note-taking is particularly useful for collecting all kinds of elements, images, extracts from web pages in one place when carrying out research on a subject or when working on a new project. An extension of the Office Labs improves the display and arrangement of notes.
Step 1: Generating Canvas
The Office of the Lab is a research lab Microsoft is experimenting with new ideas and new concepts that office will sometimes be incorporated into future editions of Office. Regularly, the laboratory offers the following extensions in order to present the views of users on some new features under development.
The Office Lab has just released a new software extension for the collection of notes and ideas: OneNote 2007. Called "Canvas For OneNote", this extension modifies completely new access to notes by proposing a new form of navigation. The idea here is to have a broad canvas on which you have the notes and the pages and full freedom for zoom in and zoom out.
- First, you must of course have Office 2007 with OneNote.
- In a second step, you must download and install Canvas For OneNote.
Once installed the extension, instead of directly launching OneNote, run Canvas For OneNote from the Start menu. The software displays a box asking you to host the experiment. Click on Let's Do It to activate the Canvas, or No Thanks to return to normal mode.
After clicking on Let's Do It, the software asks you what notebook the Canvas must be applied. The software will then create a copy "as a canvas" of your notebook.
It is essential to understand that the original notebook will not be deleted automatically, but you must now use its "Canvas" rather than its old version, because any change made in the old version will not be postponed in the Canvas.
Therefore select the notebook you want to work in Canvas mode. It takes a few minutes to generate the first version of Canvas.
