Share your OneNote stationery

Applies to: Microsoft Office OneNote 2003

Applies to
Microsoft Office OneNote® 2003 Service Pack 1

You can use OneNote stationery to enhance your notes with color, images, and other formatting. You can also use stationery to give your notes a consistent form and structure, the same way that you use templates. OneNote includes dozens of stationery designs that you can choose from, but you can just as easily create your own designs and share them with others.

Read on to learn how you can connect to the Microsoft OneNote Community Web site— a place where you can find and share stationery with other people who use OneNote.

Note Some of the features or functionality described in this topic are available only if you have installed Microsoft Office OneNote 2003 Service Pack 1. To learn more about the service pack and how to download it, see Service pack features in OneNote 2003.

Create or customize stationery

Before you can share it with others, you need to create your own stationery or customize an existing design. The Stationery task pane in OneNote 2003 Service Pack 1 makes it easy.

Show Create new stationery from a blank page

Create a new, blank page in your notebook by clicking the arrow next to the New Page tab and then clicking Blank.
Note The arrow is visible only when you are showing titles on page tabs. If you don't see the arrow, click Show Page Titles .
Design the blank page by adding, formatting, and positioning items in any way you like. For example, you can add a background image or color, static text headings, note flags, and clip art.
On the Format menu, click Stationery.
In the Stationery task pane, click Save current page as stationery.
In the Save as Stationery dialog box, type a name for your new stationery design, and then click Save.

Show Customize existing OneNote stationery

On the Format menu, click Stationery.
In the Stationery task pane, click to expand the category that contains the stationery design that you want to customize, and then click the stationery design name to apply it to a new page.
Change the page design by adding, moving, removing, formatting, or positioning items in any way you like. For example, you can add or change a background image or color, customize text headings, or add your own note flags.
In the Stationery task pane, click Save current page as stationery.
In the Save as Stationery dialog box, type a new name for your custom stationery design, and then click Save.
