Using Date as Title

T

Telstar_2112

I am a new user of Onenote and when I add a page to a notebook I would like
the date to appear very small in the top right of the page and automatically
have the date set as the title of the page so it automatically becomes the
page name.

Does anyone know how to do this or if there is a narrow ruled template with
this function available?

Thanks,
Steve.

Oops, I must have screwed up my first search and now see that someone else
posted almost the same question but there were no solutions posted yet.

Well, the problem I see is that there isn't any "autodate" code in
OneNote. You could certainly create a template with narrow rule lines,
and you MIGHT be able to move the auto-inserted date from under the
title to top right I suppose (I haven't done much with creating
templates yet) but I'm not aware of any way to automatically set the
page title to be the date, natively.

I'm sure you could script a solution like that with AutoHotKey
(http://www.autohotkey.com) however.

I too am a new user.
One of my sections is a Daily Journal of which I document everything that
goes on at work. Each significant item I then hyperlink to the appropriate
project section pages.
My title page is the date; all I did was insert the Date and Time.
Not sure if you can make that date auto pop up.

There is a power toy for OneNote called OneNote Daily Journal. It works
beautifuly on my home machine.

Info here:

This toy sits in the tray, and when you click it, a new page, titled with
todays date, appears in the book that you set up in the toys preferences.
Any other time that day, it will open the same page, until the next day when
a new one will be generated. The toy can also create a new section per
month- very nice for journaling, daily notes, to-do lists and action plans ,
etc. !
