Hello all,

I'm undertaking a large writing project that will integrate many, many
sources. I was wondering if there is an efficient way to take notes on these
sources using Office. I would like to be able to tag the notes and run
searches against them. OneNote 2007 seems able to do some of this but I'm not
sure its note-tagging features are up to the task.

If anyone is aware of an efficient way to do this, I would really appreciate
hearing from you.

Have a good one,

PiD

Why not download a trial of OneNote and see if it can handle what you anticipate?

It is very hard for someone to discern your exact requirements and make a recommendation. If you try the software and find one or more features lacking, then would be the time to inquire about software that includes the specific features you need that OneNote does NOT have and specify exactly what those feature(s) are.

Milly,

I'm using OneNote 2007 now to manage my notes. It works fairly well, but
doesn't seem to have enough tags, or ways of labeling notes, to organize the
scholarship I'll be doing over the next several years.

The program is wonderful so long as a note fits into one or two categories.
However, because I use it to manage both by teaching notes and my research
notes, the 100 or so tags quickly run out. Is there a way to extend the
number of tags/flags?

Thanks,

YOu can ask this in the OneNote group for a more expert answer - I only use the program lightly (by your standards <g>) so I am not the best resource for help with this.

microsoft.public.onenote is the news group.
