Microsoft Onenote Section Bold

Right-click the section tab and click Delete. If you delete a section and immediately change your mind, press Ctrl+Z on your keyboard. This handy shortcut will undo the last thing you did—including deletions. If you've mistakenly deleted a section, and are using OneNote 2010 or later, go to History Notebook Recycle Bin to recover the section. Shortcuts that are typically used - even within other office products! - are not utilized in OneNote! Left & Right scrolling is a chore on a computer. It's almost like the UI is designed for a touchscreen. Typical Alt navigation shortcuts don't work either. It just feels unfinished in several places, and like the whole app is built from.

I use a small 'block' of Hyperlinks in Onenote to facilitate moving around to various other pages and sections of my one-note-universe. I would love to create a single version and then have that pasted in all of the pages so I can get from any one to any other quickly, but, here's the ask, only have to update that one block and have all of the other version update. any ideas?

Actually, to select all text on a OneNote page, you must do Ctrl-A twice! The cursor can be placed anywhere on the page, but if you do it only once, it just selects the line it's on.

Updated page to list ctrl+[a] 1x = select line, 2x select section, 3x = select page. Thank you for pointing that out!

The OneNote shortcut key for expanding/collapsing outlines is incorrect. See Outline keys section on this page https://www.shortcutworld.com/en/win/OneNote_2016.html Currently it says: Alt+Shift+[/] Expand collapsed outline The actual shortcut is Alt+Shift+'+' or Alt+Shift+'-' to expand or collapse outline Thx!

You can split and join tables along rows (at least in OneNote 2010) with the following keyboard sequenceTO SPLIT A TABLE ALONG A ROW1. Insert an empty row below the last row you want to retain in the upper table +2. With the cursor in the first column of the new blank row type or TO JOIN TWO TABLES WITH THE SAME NUMBER OF COLUMNS1. Copy the table to be joined: +2. Position the cursor just below the first column of the other table: use the 3. Insert and Join the two tables: +Step 3 above can also be accomplished by simply deleting blank lines between the aligned tables residing in the same group 2. Copy the lower

We use Macro Express (ME) and have dozens of macros that we use to make our work more uniform, reduce typos, and save keystrokes. In ME, one can designate whether a macro will work globally, only in selected programs, or exclude programs one does not want the macro to run. We have just recently started using OneNote 2010 and several of the shortcut sequences duplicate macros we already have. Is there a way to have OneNote shortcuts run ONLY in OneNote? Thank you.

1. Apply text formatting to notes

Apply text formatting to notes

You'll find the editing and formatting controls, which let you change the text's appearance, to be very familiar if you've worked with other Microsoft Office apps, such as Word or PowerPoint.

Use the controls on the Home tab of the ribbon to format your notes

By default, OneNote creates text by using the Calibri font, with its size set to 11 points. (There are 72 points to an inch.) You can use any font installed on your system to format your text according to your needs. You might want to use one font for your basic note text and another for headlines, for example.

Applying bold, italic, and underline formatting all emphasize the text you formatted, but in slightly different ways. For example, bold text can identify a key term, italics can denote a definition of that term, and underlining can indicate vital words within the definition that help distinguish the term from related concepts. For more specific cases, such as mathematical notes or to indicate a word that should be excluded from a definition, you can apply subscript, superscript, or strikethrough formatting.

Another way to make text stand out on the page is to apply highlighting, which is the electronic equivalent of using a light-colored marker to distinguish text on a printed page. You can also change the color of specific text. In most cases, the standard black text is best, but red text can identify mistakes to avoid, and green text can indicate action items, or whatever combination works best for you.
