Marking Notes with Note Flags

While reviewing notes in a paper notebook, people often mark various sections with stars or check marks, circle other items, or use a highlighter. Frequently, these markings are inconsistent and difficult or impossible to change later.

With Note Flags in OneNote, you can mark your notes with consistent flags—a check box for an action item, a star for important items, and so on. OneNote includes a few preset flags that you can customize, and you can create your own. You can also highlight parts of notes to draw attention to them.

In this exercise, you will update your notes to record the status of some action items and call attention to others.

USE the Action Items notebook in the practice file folder for this topic. ...
