And the ability to take those notebooks with me using virtually any consumer OS device is wonderful.įor me, however, its weak point is the miserable tagging and search capability especially with the newest Online and Win 10 versions (OneNote 2016 too, for some things). Anything that can lend itself to a fairly rigid Notebook/Section/Page/sub-page organization can find a home in OneNote, and with a little ingenuity, that's a lot of stuff.

It's just so doggone useful, and cross 'platformy', that it's hard not to boot it up when you've got a documentation/research/notetaking issue to deal with. At last, there are plenty of writing programs to try.Ĭlick to expand.Yeah, I think OneNote is on almost everyone's list of secret 'goto' software. I think that everyone needs different things for different purposes. It's a great tool for organizing notes, hyperlinks, pictures and print screens. What is more, I use OneNote from Office 2016. There are financial reasons too that pay a huge role. I don't need tools dedicated to writers (at least, I'm not a professional one) the blank virtual piece of paper is enough. Windows's writing programs have been in my life for the very start of using computers (I remember from my childhood this old Windows Millenium with WordPad comparing to Word nowadays it's quite miserable but back then it was hyped by my older cousins) and they're very comfortable for me to use, especially Word 2003 and higher. I've tested a few, especially Scrivener and yWriter, but I couldn't help to go back to Microsoft. There were times when I was looking for something better, dedicated only to writing prose.

I use Word from MS Office 2016 and for me, it's the best choice I could ever make.
