Add Sections and Pages in OneNote

Add Sections and Pages in OneNote (2016)

 

A OneNote notebook is organized into sections and pages, and it’s easy to make them colorful. Like most notebooks, it fills up over time. But here are some amazing facts. A OneNote notebook never runs out of pages, the pages never run out of space, and you can add as many sections as you want.

Add Sections

When you create a notebook, it creates a default section for you.

1        To rename a section, double-click New Section 1, type a name and then press Enter.

2        To create another section, choose the Plus Sign (+).

3        To change the color, right-click the Section tab, choose Section Color, and then choose a color.

Add pages

  1. When you create a page, a blank page header is added.
  2. To rename the page header, type a title and press Enter.

  3. To rename a page, right-click the Page tab, choose Rename, and type a name.
  4. To add a page, choose + Add Page.




  1. To change the page color, choose View > Page Color, and choose a color.


Add templates

You remember when you put stickers and sketches on your sixth-grade notebook. After all, it was your notebook. In OneNote, you can apply templates to fit your personality, style, and frame of mind.

  1. Choose Insert > Page Templates.
  2. In the Templates task pane, expand the categories.
  3. To apply a template, click its name in the list. Press CTRL+Z if you don’t want it. Repeat until you find one you prefer.
  4. Click Close (X).

TIP: You can’t add a template to a page with notes. But, you can add a new page, add a template, and then copy notes to the new page.
