By Killian Bell 7:34 am, March 17, 2014.As it is on the Windows platform, OneNote for Mac is designed for the creation, collation, and sharing of notes in all their wide variety of forms. Microsoft today launched a new OneNote application for Mac after more than 10 years of desktop exclusivity on. You can buy more storage either a la carte as a monthly fee or by subscribing to Office 365, which includes 1. You get a free 15 GB repository on your Microsoft OneDrive to hold your OneNote contents (this is up from 7 GB when OneNote debuted for the Mac in 2014). OneNote is free to download and use, provided you have a Microsoft account.However, that is where the similarity ends. Created on NovemHello, I just downloaded the OneNote app for my MacBook a few weeks ago and have been really happy with it until this morning, when I logged in and was informed that the app was updated.Both applications use the metaphor of notebooks to store your information. While these updates address some of the top/immediate requests from customers. For more detail on this update, go to OneNote for Mac update: Print, capture content and more. If you already have OneNote on your Mac, go to Updates in the Mac App Store to get these new features.And, if you have an Office 365 subscription, you can forget about limits entirely: Office 365 now comes with unlimited storage, for whatever you want, including OneNote. For anyone used to paper notebooks, files and folders, this makes OneNote a much more natural fit, but it also puts the onus firmly on you to keep your notes organised.There’s no limit on how many notes you can upload per month, as there is with Evernote. OneNote uses the much more “real world” metaphor of tabbed dividers to split up notes, and allows you to group those tabs and create notes with sub-notes within them.You can’t, for example, find all of the notes in a notebook where you’ve highlighted something as “Remember for later”.The formatting tools are excellent. In fact, it’s a bit like having a mini-version of Word (complete with Styles), and as you’d expect if you paste a Word document into OneNote, it will respect the formatting. Although these all look good, there isn’t much you can do with them. Click on the audio icon next to a paragraph in your note, and you’re taken straight to that part of the recording.There’s also a convenient set of tools for common note-taking tasks such as highlighting, as well as a set of icons for checkboxes (handy for to do lists), question marks, and more. Better still, it remembers precisely what you were typing at all points of the audio recording. Each note can have multiple text boxes, allowing you to layout notes however you like – for example, by creating a column for verbatim quotes from a lecture, and a second column of commentary later.You can insert images into your notes, although there are no image-editing features included other than resizing or rotating, and OneNote can also record audio, which is handy for meetings. You simply click anywhere in the editing area and start typing, and your words appear in place.

Share a notebook with a group of people, and, unlike the other Office applications, changes made by others will happen in close to real-time. And there’s no integration with Outlook tasks, so you can’t create tasks directly from your notes as you can in the Windows version of Office.One thing that OneNote for Mac does support, though, is collaborative notebooks. Neither can you copy a message directly into OneNote. You can’t, for example, click on a button in Outlook and create a note for a meeting that you’re taking part in, complete with the agenda and attendees.
