- 00:04 In this lesson I want to talk about the different OneNote views.
- 00:09 So throughout this entire course we've been in Normal View,
- 00:12 but let's take a look at some of the other views that are available.
- 00:17 At this point I'm going to click on the View menu.
- 00:20 Now, you can see Normal View is the one that we've been on.
- 00:24 Let's take a look at Full Page View.
- 00:26 And then it really does fill the page.
- 00:29 So this is really great if you have to read a note, or really examine it closer,
- 00:35 you just have it in full page mode, and then of course you can scroll up and down.
- 00:42 Now, if you want to leave the full page mode, I'm going to go ahead and
- 00:46 click on the Normal View over here on the right.
- 00:50 And now we're back in Normal View.
- 00:52 So that was called Full Page View.
- 00:55 Now here's a really interesting one, dock to the desktop.
- 00:58 Let's click that view.
- 01:00 Now notice what happens, the OneNote is actually over here on the side, and
- 01:05 then maybe you can do something else.
- 01:08 But I can always go back to the OneNote, and
- 01:10 just type in something really quickly there.
- 01:13 But in the meantime, I can go into any other program.
- 01:17 So let's go ahead and go back to Normal View.
- 01:20 I'm going to click on this icon, and then we're back to Normal View.
- 01:23 All right, so that was called dock to the desktop.
- 01:26 Try that again, and then that's how it does dock it over here.
- 01:29 And then maybe you can do something else, but the OneNote is still always available.
- 01:34 And we'll go back to Normal View.
- 01:36 Now, let's take a look at some of the other things that are on the View menu.
- 01:39 Notice that I can change the Page Color.
- 01:42 So I'll pick on Page Color and maybe we'll make it a light blue, and
- 01:46 you can see that changed that pretty quickly.
- 01:49 Now, you can always try something and undo it, of course, right?
- 01:52 So I'm going to undo that one.
- 01:54 That was the Page Color.
- 01:56 Let's try the lines on the page.
- 02:00 So it says Rule Lines, and
- 02:01 then you have different ways to set up the page like that.
- 02:05 So I'd probably use this one, or how about this one?
- 02:09 And then the lines actually show up,
- 02:11 maybe to help organize your notes a little bit better.
- 02:16 Anyway, try those different Rule Lines.
- 02:19 And you can see the effect that that is having.
- 02:21 Now it looks like an actual written notebook, okay?
- 02:26 And of course, if you don't like that, you can go back to Rule Lines and
- 02:30 click on None.
- 02:31 Here you can change the rule line color.
- 02:34 You could say always create the pages with the rule lines,
- 02:36 if that's something that you prefer.
- 02:39 I'll click on None there.
- 02:41 Here is where we did the Paper Size.
- 02:43 We did it in a previous lesson.
- 02:45 Here is the zooms, so we can zoom in or zoom out.
- 02:48 So notice how we have the View menu.
- 02:51 And we talked about Normal View,
- 02:52 which is pretty much where you're going to work most of the time.
- 02:55 And we talked about the Full Page View, the dock to the desktop.
- 03:00 I showed you how you can change the page color and the rule lines, all right?
- 03:06 So that you have different ways to change the views of your OneNote.
