  7. ^ On Android and ChromeOS uses platform's spell checker.
  8. ^ All versions can sync with OneDrive and SharePoint. Versions later than Office 2016 can only use online notebooks and cannot use local notebooks.
  9. ^ OneNote 2010 and OneNote 2007 Service Pack 2 and beyond have it built in. A Save As PDF add-in is available for earlier versions of OneNote 2007. Can save to PDF with add-in.[1]
  10. ^ a b Saved in separate file.
  11. ^ Handwritten notes are searchable.
  12. ^ Sync of files and folders using external services.

  14. ^ At least Microsoft Windows version (06/2016)

  17. ^ As the RTF format stores pictures internally as bitmaps (.bmp), this leads to large notebook files.
  18. ^ Tables must be created in another program. After pasting the table into Keynote NF, one can edit the cells and add new rows, but changing the size of the columns and adding or removing columns is not possible. These operations can be done by pasting the table into another program (for example, MS Word).
  19. ^ Can also search in audio.
  20. ^ Resize upon initial insertion.
  21. ^ Using plugins
