  • I am just learning to use OneNote2010 for organizing my extensive recipe collection.  I need to know if I should make seperate notebooks for each main catagory of recipes and then use the tabs to further define the sub-sections (not sure how many notebooks it will allow you to have or how many tabs) or should I just have one notebook for recipes and use the tabs for each main catagory?  I don't know if I can have sub-catagories under each tab or not so if you could shed a little light on this I would greatly apprecitate it.  I don't want to have to re-do a bunch of work.   Thanks so much,  Susan

  • Response to suzarooze re organizing a recipe collection in OneNote:

    First, I created a OneNote notebook named Recipes.

    I then made Section Groups.   Each Section Group is the name you see in recipe books (desserts, meats, vegetables, soups, casseroles, beverages, etc.).  

    Under each Sections Group, I made Sections. These are named, for example, pies, cakes, ice cream, etc.

    In each Section, the pages are your actual recipes.

    Example:

    Section Group:  Desserts

    Sections:  Pies, Cakes, Ice Cream, etc.

    Pages:  Each page has ONE recipe. You can have numerous pages!

    Don't forget to include a picture at the top of each page to tempt you to use the recipe!

  • I would like to find a way to send ideas / suggestions directly to the OneNote Team. Is that possible? I love the product, and I use it frequently. However, I feel that there are so many different areas where it needs to be improved. It's finally getting to where it is really useable on a daily basis. I just am getting into it, and I love it. But, there are just so many features that would improve its use, not just for me but also for everyone else. Any ideas on how to do this?
