Managing Daily Notes on One Subject

[CJC]

Hi,
I want to differentiate notes on one page that were taken on several
different dates. Each text box begins with the date of the notes. I could
always change the color of the font from one date to the next, but is there a
better way? Is there a way to change the background color of each text
container? Or is there a better way ("best practice") of collecting several
days of notes on one subject in One Note?

LAST - I like One Note, but am always looking for something better. Is there
a competitor to One Note?

Thanks.

You cannot change the background color of the Notes containers.

For the use scenario you describe, how many different topics are there?
You could use a Tag for each subject, and then use the Tag summary to find
all of the notes for a given Tag. That seems easier than trying to worry
about manually collecting notes from a given topic.

Thanks Eric.
Normally there is one general topic. I will give the tags a try.
Are there any other programs like One Note available?

Thanks.

Try here:

I have not tried any of them. I'm more than happy with OneNote.
I'm just offering the link as a starting point for you.
