Use Onenote as Electronic Laboratory Notebook

[Ed]

I want to use Onenote as an ELN. It seems well equiped to do so with the
exdeption of tracable lab notes. This would be a system where I could take a
days notes then freeze against all changes unless those changes were lined
out and contained name and date stamps and also allow review by another
competent person, also involving name and date stamp. This would result in
my name and a date then a checked by name and date which could not be altered
by anyone in the future.

All other aspects seem intact and indeed superior to paper.

Any Ideas.

What you want is not yet possible in the current version.

But it seems that some of the features you are after will be implemented
in OneNote 2010.
Pls see David Rasmussen's summary of the features to come:
"OneNote 2010 – What’s New For You"

Thanks for the link Rainald. That was very interesting reading.

De nada.

What I'm wondering about is that David under the editing features does
not mention the "grouping" of objects.
This IMO is the most often asked for feature.
So I fear we won't get that.
Unfortunately David has closed the possibility if comments for this blog
article and I do not know how to reach him directly :-( :-(
