Doug Thomas: This iconic screen is the tile Start menu for Windows 8, 8.1. Here you
can get to your documents, your programs, your pictures, your music. On the right-hand
side your-- you can see I can get to all my Office programs, including OneNote. But with
Windows 8.1 and Windows 8 there is an apps store. And at the apps store you can get
apps that cost a few bucks or are free, and one of those is a OneNote app.
Doug Thomas: Now much like we have an OneNote app for an Android phone or an
iPad, we have a OneNote app thatís built especially for Windows 8.1. So thatís what
weíre gonna talk about today. You can get it from the store. Now anyone can use this
app that Iíll open up here now, but itís built
for touch devices especially. So Iím on a two-in-
one device here, but Iím gonna use mostly-- Iím gonna try to use all touch here today,
like it was in the tablet mode. Iím gonna change
it around and get set here. Doug Thomas: And so what youíre seeing here
is the OneNote Windows Store app and itís just had a big upgrade last week. Weíre
gonna show you some of those features. Doug Thomas: One of these is the look that
youíre seeing right now. You see your most recent notes first. If you havenít seen--
this is-- my notebookís right here on the left-hand
side. So hereís my notebook here. I also have other notebooks. You could have them
on your computer, you could have them in SkyDrive,
you could have them-- if youíre in business-- on your SharePoint or SkyDrive
Pro site. And they all show up in the same place. Thatís why, again, I use this everyday,
because itís got home and work all combined and itís easy to get to.
Doug Thomas: Each notebook has sections and then each of those have pages. One
thing with the pages thatís new with this app is you get a little preview of each of
your pages if it has any type of illustration.
So you can quickly go to what type of page that you
want. Doug Thomas: Because this is touch I can use
touch on my screen. So what I can- I can make things bigger with two fingers. And so
I can see something in really big. And I can, you know, shrink things back down. And you
notice kind of the UI kinda goes out of the way. I can get it back by touching those three
lines at the top, those three horizontal lines. That gets me kind of the UI or when I start
writing or working on the page, that UI goes away.
Doug Thomas: So letís get in and do some-- well, letís do some work. Letís go to this
team meeting. I can start working on this with a touch computer here if I want to. So
if I have my touch screen I can do it. As you can
see the words actually are appearing kind of like they do on a phone. Also, if you notice
any time you touch, you get this round icon. And that is the touch menu especially for
this Windows Store app. So if you touch it, it
brings up a radial menu and you get suggestions of what you want to do. Now that works
differently on where you are in the writing. So if Iím over here and Iím working with
text-- letís say I want to change this paragraph
in here, I get this ìAî. I click on that with a finger
and I get that menu that has more items that deal with text, font, font size, so to speak.
If I go into a table here, I get a table icon.
Click on that, it opens up table options, including if
I wanted to insert a row I could do that: ìInsert Rightî. So I could add information
here if I wanted to. If you touch the screen you get
this little, smaller circle next to your text and
then you can drag that to work on an area. So Iím gonna take this whole table here,
click on this icon and I can use different fonts,
colors. Doug Thomas: Letís change the font on this.
Letís change the font size. And I get this little thing and it looks like a speedometer.
Thatís actually-- I can just move that with my
finger and change the font size. Letís change it up to twenty. Make it nice and big. Itís
a little big; itís nineteen. Letís go down
a little bit: sixteen. Press the arrow ìBackî. Doug Thomas: If I want to change the color
I can swipe up and that gives me the color. And you can see thereís different colors
I can swipe here. And I just go through the arrows at the bottom. And so I can get different
shades of green or red that I want. Letís go with the blue. And I can pick any shade
of the blue rainbow I want. Letís go with purple
since thatís the OneNote color. And it changes-- your font goes to purple there.
Doug Thomas: As you work with this regular menu, there are short cuts. If you notice
here ìUndoî-- if I wanted to undo something, thatís to the left-hand side. I can touch
that and undo. But if I just go to this menu, first
time, ìUndoî was at the nine oíclock position. And I can just swipe to the left and it undoes
it. If thatís the right word: undoes it? Un-do
it? Uh.. I donít know about that. Doug Thomas: So let me show you something
else you can use here. Letís me go over to a project here. I click on this one. I
can click over here to the right-hand side and get
the menu. And I get my draw menu that I have pens-- I can pre-set four pens and so I
can draw in here. So I want to make notes on a slide or something like that; I can simply
draw. Thatís kind of a weak line so let me get something stronger here. Let me go to
this pen. Let me pick ìthickî. Let me pick thick,
red pen ëcause everyone loves a thick red pen,
donít they? So now I can go over here and draw and make notes here-- probably do a
thinner pen on this one here-- and write anything I want to. ìNoî. Iím in management so I
can just write ìNoî and theyíll understand what Iím saying. So you can use the pens
even though you donít have the pen that works
with the computer, the actual physical one. Doug Thomas: You can use the drawing in OneNote
to work on your items or make notes, or make drawings. I mean if you go
back here we have some-- you know, some of our sample pages here. As people use drawings
or use pictures to tell their stories. So importing, of course, putting things into
OneNote is what a lot of people work on. Doug Thomas: So let me show you how you can
share with that. Iím gonna show a little bit of the way Windows 8 is used for touch.
To get to menus you can swipe up; thatís the
OneNote menu. It gives you some figure if you have paper options if you want to or you
can go-- you-- some commands. You can-- then if you go in from the right, and Iím just
swiping from the right with my thumb, you can see that you get the charms.
Doug Thomas: Now the charms are for-- you get that on any time you swipe in from the
right-hand side on Windows 8.1. If I hit-- click ìSettingsî, that bottom one there
in the bottom right-hand corner, the bottom settings
I get those all the time. Thatís screens [sic],
sound, connectivity, things like that. But the settings at the top are for the program
thatís open.
Doug Thomas: So hereís how I could change my options for OneNote. I could add
accounts, things like that. So Iím gonna swipe from the right to get my charms and
click ìShareî. And I can do a couple different
things here. I can share screens with folks in
email or whatever. Thatís how I can send this page to folks. Let me pick a page here
thatís got a little more-- so I can click ìShareî and I can send mail. This is the
mail app thatís in Windows 8.1, which is also improved
very uh.. very- very much, very well. It was improved greatly. Try it, itís improved.
On Windows 8.1 on touch device, if you swipe in
with your left side, with your left thumb, you can cycle through the pages that are open
here. So hereís a sports page, kind of talking about the Seahawk victory here. Hope you
saw that. Letís get though-- I wanted to get an app I thought I had open, but Iím
gonna go to my main menu here and click-- this was
a new 8.1 app called ìFood and Drinkî and it
has a recipe of the day. Letís see what that is. Itís quiche. And if I wanted to keep
this recipe I, again, swipe from the right-hand
side, click ìShareî. I want to share this with
OneNote. And then I hit the little ìSendî button at the upper right-hand corner. I can
pick whether if I want to send it to the current
page thatís open or a notebook. Iím just gonna
send it to the ìMy Stuffî section of the notebook. Now some-- now itís gonna work
on different-- on some apps better than others.
But if you ever want to make a screen shot, you can do that. Letís open up-- letís go
back here and open up a page. Letís say I was
comparing some things at Office.com and Iím gonna go compare plans. And if I just want
a screen shot of that page, I think if I just hit the ìShareî button here it would just
send a link. Let me see what that would look like
here. I- it just sends the link to it, which is okay
information. But if I want to capture that, I can swipe, click ìShareî, and then at
the top here I can just grab a screen shot with OneNote.
And Iíll send that to OneNote. And Iíll show you what these look-- let me go back
and after this ìShareî is over. Thereís the
screen shot I just- I just added. And you can see I can zoom in, if I want to, on it,
read that information. Also, screen shots that
are clear like this, that text will be searchable. Iíll
show you that in just a moment. And hereís the quiche recipe. So, again, sharing is one
thing that you can work on with swiping in from the right-hand side and using your
charms. Doug Thomas: Letís show a little bit more
of the capabilities that were upgraded for this.
If youíre doing business travel you do a lot of things with recipes and whiteboards
and meetings. Iím gonna do both things for you.
Letís first talk about meetings here. A lot of
times when youíre doing [sic] with meetings youíre in a room like this and you have a
whiteboard and at the end everyone takes the snap with the whiteboard. And, you know,
what do you do with it? It stays on your phone, it stays on your camera. Here you can
actually put it on the page. Now if something like a Surface Pro that has a camera thatís
on the outside, I could just pick up my laptop and snap the picture and put it back. I didnít
want to do that for this demo. I didnít want to move this computer as much as possible.
So Iím just gonna add a picture that I took earlier of a whiteboard. So Iím gonna open
up my pictures. And hereís a typical shot of
a whiteboard. And, again, itís a bad angle. Itís
angled away from what Iím doing. Itís just something I shot. Itís pretty yellowish from
the color. But if you notice on the left-hand
side here, thereís some options on this screen as
Iím in OneNote adding it. And I click the middle one and I can tell OneNote, ìIs this
a photo, a document or a whiteboard?î Itís
a whiteboard. And it kinda does a little magic or
re-rendering the device. So it kinda flattens out the text and everything. So this is a
little more readable. Now itís trimming off a little
bit. So let me go into-- I can crop this and, yeah, it looks like itís just kinda cutting
off a little of this text. So with my fingers there are
these anchors that I can just make that text a little bigger and click ìOkayî. But, again,
itís on an angle here and now itís flat, white;
I can read that text a lot more clearly. Thereís some other lines in there, but the main part
is there and then I can insert that on the page
that the meeting notes are on in my OneNote. Everythingís in one place.
Doug Thomas: Letís show this one more place and show you something thatís kind of
magic that we have for this Windows Store app. Letís add receipts. So a lot of times
you want to keep your receipts. Again, if I had
a Surface Pro, I could just take a picture of that
receipt, plop it right in here. Iím gonna touch the screen, insert, and Iím gonna insert
a picture of a receipt. And I got a couple here
Iím gonna do. I took two-- the same receipt two different ways to show you what this works
like. So Iím gonna open up both of these. This one has a nice-- when you have, like,
a whiteboard that has a dark background, itís gonna make-- itís gonna capture it much better.
So this receipt has a dark background of the table I took it on. So Iím gonna go over
to the left-hand menu. This is a document, so
Iím gonna click that. And it immediately cuts all the background, flattens everything
out. I get a really crisp look at that text. Letís
look at this other picture I took. I crumpled it up,
not in good light, the backgroundís kinda the same color. Well, itís not as sharp of
a contrast. Same thing: If I press ìDocumentî
it tries to read it. Now it makes a bit of a
close-up but, again, I can re-crop this picture if I want to. Itís ëcause the paper is crinkled
and all that. But, again, I can change all that by using these little finger anchors--
I guess I need this-- to capture that information. And
it makes a nice close-up of that. And then I
can see these. Iím gonna insert both of these into my OneNote. So there they are. I can
shrink these down just like I can a picture by using these anchors. So if I want to. Now
because that writing is nice and crisp, thatís also searchable. So let me go back to my
charms, swipe from the right, click ìSearchî. I can search anywhere on my computer
here, but I just want to search OneNote. Iím gonna search for, letís say, the word ìsaladî.
If you look in the receipt in the middle of the screen, ìsaladî is actually yellowed
out. It actually found that word and itís highlighting
that word for me. In the left-hand side is all
the other pages that are in OneNote that has the word ìsaladî.
Doug Thomas: Thatís how you donít have to really organize everything in OneNote. Itís
all searchable. And you can find things. So if I was looking for that spicy orange salad
I could, you know, click on that and immediately
go to that recipe that I had on another page from another time. Again, if you just
know just a few words you can find anything in
OneNote and you can find anything from a screen clipping to any clear writing that youíve
taken a picture of. Now itís not gonna find those words in the whiteboard, but it will
find those notes in something like a receipt.
Doug Thomas: So that kinda wraps everything up for taking a quick note at the
OneNote-- Windows Store app for OneNote. Itís free. Go to the Windows Store. Youíd
search for OneNote. You can find it. We have a link for you also. If you go to
aka.ms/note123 you can find all the links for things we talked about, even some more
information about the Windows Store app, links to just OneNote help in general. Weíll
have the video up here in an edited format a little bit later this week.
Doug Thomas: If you need any information or have any questions about the Office
webinar series in general, go to aka.ms/offweb. There youíll find our homepage and find
links to previous webinars. Doug Thomas: That is it for todayís webinar.
Next week weíre gonna be showing you the top ten things about Office. You know, itís
the end of the year so you have to have a countdown show. Weíll do that next week.
But for todayís Office webinar team thank you
for joining this Office fifteen-minute webinar. #### End of OW_088_full.mp4 ####
