Onenote is wonderful on tablet with a pen, but I miss the feature in office word that one can make a Macro and trigger it with a custom hotkey.
In this blog, I explore a method that actually can do more or less that. As an example, when I am zoom in and out freely across a big brainstorm page in Onenote, I miss a way to quickly set the zoom to 100% so that my handwriting are always with the same size. In the following video I showed how to add such a “zoom to 100%” shortcut with the “Customize quick access toolbar “. In the end, I could press the shortcut Alt+3 to quickly zoom to 100% even when I am in the full screen mode.
Out of the video I also made a shortcut (Alt+4) for insert current date, which is handy when I need to log something. Almost every clickable function can be assigned a shortcut in the form of Alt+number in the method I demonstrated in the video. Of course we won’t get the flexiblility Macro offers, but still you can do quite a lot with this method already.
