The Editing Pane

Smack in the middle of the OneNote program window is the editing pane (see Figure 3.12). It displays the page that is presently selected in the active section of the notebook that you have open, and it functions as a canvas where you can take notes, collect information, insert files or images, record audio and video, format and tag notes, and much more.

The top of each page can contain an optional page title and an optional date and time stamp that indicates when the page was first created. The page title is also shown as the title in the corresponding page tab on the right and in the title bar at the top center of the OneNote program window.

You’ll learn more about working with notebook pages in Chapter 4 and more about taking and formatting notes in Chapter 5, “Taking and Formatting Notes.”
