I agree with goengurl and not with Ben. If you have a blank space within a
note container you can put a comment in there (within a new container) but
for it to stand out you would have to color the font or highlight it. That is
a lot more work than the neat comment feature in Word.
If you have a block of solid text in OneNote and you want to comment on a
specific sentence in that - where do you put your comment? I suppose you
could shrink your note container, highlight the text on which you want to
comment, then put your comment in the 'margin' you have just created. But -
how much effort is that?! And you still haven't got a Word-like link from
your comment to the section of text.
Whenever I see swanky demos on OneNote on the web (e.g.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/onenote/HA102342001033.aspx) they show
someone annotating a document by hand-drawing a line round something and then
handwriting a comment - in a gap on the page that is conveniently there. But,
in the real world, most of us don't use a Tablet or are just too stupid to
know how to make the most of OneNote. I am in both those categories.
I guess the answer is that we shouldn't expect OneNote to have all our
favorite bells and whistles from Word. For me, I long for Format Painter in
OneNote.
