OneNote 2013 Templates Make Note Taking Easier Across Windows, iOS And Android
Despite great applications like Microsoft PowerPoint, Word and Excel in the MS Office suite, surprisingly the only application that seems truly optimized for use on mobile devices is Microsoft OneNote. This is because it is not only compatible with Windows and Mac computers but can also be used on iOS and Android devices. Previously, we brought you an overview of the New Features Of Microsoft OneNote 2013, this time we will discuss the utility of free Microsoft Templates for OneNote 2013.

Microsoft provides dozens of templates that are appropriate for students, business professionals, lawyers, wedding planners and the like. You can download these templates from the link given at the end of this post. These templates can be sorted according to OneNote version (e.g. version 2007. 2010, etc) and you can also search for templates by category.
