As a power-user (or at least a constant user) of OneNote, I miss two things.
- A word count tool – to help me as I compose and edit and work inside the OneNote program
- A formatting “paintbrush” tool offered by the rest of the office apps – to make my notes look prettier and become more organized.
Good news: There is now a powertoy plugin that offers the word count functionality.
Bad news: Apparently I’m still the only one that wants/needs a formatting paintbrush.
To get your own word count option…Visit descapa’s blog and download his OneNote Word Count Powertoy. (Thanks descapa!)
Angela – I too am very much interested in the formatting paint brush. I find that summarizing is great in One Note and I do this best by indenting information, summarizing it and collapsing it. A paint brush would help greatly in formatting the pastes.
Your prayers are answered.
I am using OneNote 2010 and it does indeed have a paintbrush. (This is my first time using OneNote, and though I love it to death, the paintbrush is one of the first things I looked for when I started the program up.)
I can’t seem to find a word count yet though.
I’m no longer a windows gal… but I’m glad you have a tool you like! (I’m all about the iPad these days)
