Sure, and I think these are the top three in Microsoft 365.
ONENOTE VS WORD HOW TO
Maybe just to get us started with sort of the debate about the three of them, a little bit of the history of sort of how we used OneNote in the past, how we use wikis, how we use Word, sort of, that’s led us up to the point that we’re at right now.Ĭan you give me a little bit of history, and maybe just talk about internally how we’re using it maybe, and then maybe start talking about some of the questions I have up from clients about how to use these different products?

We’re picking bits off the floor right now. It sounds like we now have three different ways of sort of editing content, editing core content, with Microsoft 365. OneNote has also gone online, and there’s an online version of OneNote that allows you to view and also edit OneNote content on that. If you have a bunch of information that you want to have as a collection in kind of a notebook, you’ve got OneNote. It’s one that allows you to take a set of notes and put that in a notebook and structure that with tabs and some hierarchy there. It’s not one of the mainstream Microsoft Office products in the suite. OneNote is a notetaking tool that a lot of people are probably not that familiar with.

There’s some overlapping capability of I can edit content, text, in a browser to be displayed in a browser, through Word Online. There becomes some overlap with looking at Word Online versus a wiki. There’s a lot of similarity when you start looking at it. You don’t have to have the full-blown desktop client to edit and view Word documents. You’ve got all the formatting capabilities through the browser. Well, Word Online, for those that have used Google Docs, it is very similar to Google Docs in the way you interact with it. I think everybody’s familiar with what a Word document is, but now that we’ve moved to the world of Word Online, what is that? What does that mean to somebody? It allows you to add Web parts and references to lists, and so there’s a little bit more enhanced capability beyond just creating static content. Wikis go further than that, than just pure formatted text. Instead of having to go in and create HTML to create a static Web page, you would end up opening up an editor that’s online that allows you to do bold and italics and bullets and headers. What’s a SharePoint wiki?Ī SharePoint wiki is a way to create Web content through an editor that makes you feel like you’re in a word processor. Maybe just to get us kicked off here, let’s start at a high level. It looked like in 2014 we started some internal discussions about this. I know this is something that, when we looked through our Yammer conversations, this was something you brought up. I think I got that right, and I just want to talk about, in general, capturing information inside of Microsoft 365. Today we’re going to cover a subject, a very controversial subject, which makes me want to sound like the Wascally Wabbit when I say it, which is wikis versus Word versus OneNote. How you doing, Tom?ĭoing good, doing good. I’m got Tommy here with me, my co-host, Tommy Ryan, here. Hello, and welcome to the ThreeWill podcast.
