Thanks for your feedback. Do you have any advice on how to achieve what I am after? This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread.

I have the same question Fun and games. Health and fitness. Home learning. Papers and reports. Photo albums. Planners and trackers. Profit and loss. Resumes and cover letters. Social media. OneNote provides several page templates to help you get started; from decorative backgrounds to functional notes pages, like planners and To Do lists. On the File menu, point to New , and then click Page from Template. In the Templates task pane, under Add a page , click a category in the list, and then click the name of the template you want to use.

OneNote creates a new page in the current section based on the selected template. Tip: To quickly apply recently used templates to a new page, in the page tabs list, click the arrow next to the New Page button, and then click the name of the template you want to apply. Click Blank Template if you want to create a new blank page. Note: Many template designs include page content that appears in specific places. Templates can therefore be applied only to new pages that do not already contain notes.

To use a template for notes you have already taken, create a new page from the template you want, and then copy your existing notes to it. If you do not want to create an entirely new template yourself, you can easily change the contents and appearance of an existing template and then save it as a custom template.

In the Templates task pane, Under Add a page , click a category, and then click the name of the template you want to modify. On the File menu, click Page Setup , and then in the Page Setup task pane, change any options you want. Change any content on the page so that it is the way it should appear whenever new pages are created based on your modified template.

Likewise, delete any existing template content that you do not want to keep. At the bottom of the Page Setup task pane, click Save current page as template. To apply this template to every new page that you add to the current section in your notebook, select the Set as default template for new pages in the current section check box. Note: Templates that you have customized are automatically added to the My Templates list in the Templates task pane. In addition to the templates that OneNote provides, you can format a page in your notebook the way you want, and then save it as a new template.

On the File menu, point to New , and then click Page. Note: You can also create a new page by clicking New Page above the page tabs. Add any content to the page that you want to appear whenever new pages are created based on your custom template.

For example, if you are creating a template for meeting notes, you could add an agenda section and headings for the meeting's date and time. At the bottom of the Page Setup task pane, click Save current page as a template.

To access all the features OneNote has to offer, you can download the desktop app. I use the mobile app for my daily journaling most of the time, so I will demonstrate how to use the app first, with tips on the computer version at the end of the article.

Once you are signed in, create your first notebook. Once your notebook is created, you will be able to add sections. Each section appears with a different-color tab on the left of the screen. I start each year with a yearly planning page and include monthly and weekly planning pages. This helps me pace myself throughout the year and accomplish things a little at a time.

You can also rearrange entries by dragging using the three lines next to any entry. I keep a copy of the template at the bottom of my list of pages. I make a copy of the template each day and give it a heading at the end of the day based on what I think a standout item from the day is. I will use these headings to create a table of contents at the beginning of my journal before I print it next January.

Here is a screenshot of what all of this looks like on the web app on my computer.
