As we all know, OneNote is a great tool for taking and managing notes and collaborating on them. However, if you want to spice up your notes a little and add a few emojis, e.g. insert a smiley face or a celebratory champagne bottle, you’re always stuck for words. At least that’s the case in the desktop version of OneNote.<\/p>\n

Apparently there is no easy way to search for an emoji in OneNote and integrate it into the notes. If you go to the “Insert”<\/em> menu, you will find an icon that looks like an emoji. But you will be disappointed, because behind it are so-called stickers. These might be nice to spice up your notes because they are colourful and animated, but they are not what you are looking for.<\/p>\n

Even if you enter the symbols manually, e.g. “:-)” for a smiley, this is not automatically adapted to an emoji.<\/p>\n

However, there is a quick and easy way to search for and insert an emoji in the notes.<\/p>\n

You can use the keyboard shortcut\/key combination “Windows + .<\/em><\/strong>” i.e. press the Windows key<\/em> and the dot key<\/em> at the same time. Sometimes Windows key<\/em> is also called start key.<\/em><\/p>\n

A menu or dialogue will then open in which various emojis are displayed and in which you can also search for additional emoji.<\/p>\n

This means that there is still a practical way to insert a few smileys, champagne corks, pizza slices or similar as decoration in the OneNote notes. Shortcuts or key combinations are also a great thing, as they speed up work on the PC immensely. Nevertheless, I would have expected a selection via the insert menu to be intuitive, because shortcuts are not in the user’s head per se. This raises the question of why Microsoft hides such a beautiful emoji dialogue like this?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
