• Page tabs appear on the right side of your notebook by default. To display the page tabs on the left side of your notebook, in the Display category in the Options dialog box (Tools menu), select the Page tabs appear on the left check box.
• To change the default color that is applied to a new section, right-click the section tab at the top of the page, point to Section Color on the shortcut menu, and then click the color that you want to apply. Click None to remove coloring from a section entirely.
• If you want to change the way OneNote is set up, you can customize any of the items on the menus and toolbars by right-clicking a toolbar and then clicking Customize on the shortcut menu.
• If you have a microphone and a webcam, run the Tuning Wizard before you attempt to record audio and video notes. On the Tools menu, click Options. In the Options dialog box, click Audio and Video, and then click Tuning Wizard.

(On the Tools menu, click Options. In the Options dialog box, click OneNote Mobile, and then click Install OneNote Mobile.)
