Basic Drawing Tools in OneNote

Body

Question

What are the basic drawing tools in Outlook?

Answer

OneNote also incorporates some artistic effects into this commonly utilized organizational resource.  To access the drawing tools go to the Draw tab and observe the many options available to draw with.

This drawing toolbar has a ton of different options that you can use to enhance your notebook.  From left to right you will observe first the Select & Type icon.  Once you have finished any drawings you make you will need to click on the Select & Type icon to begin typing again. 

Secondly, is the lasso select.  The lasso select is a grouping tool that can be used to combine different images or text and connect them together so that it can be moved throughout the page as a single unit. 

There is also a panning hand which will allow you to quickly move throughout your document without having to scroll down through the entire thing. 

You will also notice in the Tools group that there are numerous pens, markers, and highlighters that may be used to draw within your OneNote page.

Next to Tools is the group Shapes.  As you will see the shape selection is much less when compared to programs like Word or Excel.

Finally, there is the insert space icon which allows the user to add space into a page where text has already been added.
