I have a subscription to Office 365. I was wondering if I should use the metro version of OneNote or the desktop version on SP3. What are most people with access to both using?
After consulting with my husband, I may switch to Metro. I'm trying to convert over to using OneNote for meeting notes at work. After taking the notes on my Surface, I'll be archiving them on my work computer. He has informed me that Metro notebooks can be opened in the Desktop program, and conversion to text done at that time. I feel like the Metro version gives a slightly better note taking experience, so this may be the workflow I use, since I'll be transferring the notes anyway. I'll have to test out both and see what I like best. FYI, my husband is a SDET for OneNote at Microsoft, so he's a pretty reliable resource if you have additional questions.

How do you convert written notes to text in the desktop OneNote version from the app? I took notes in the app and opened it in the desktop but cannot find that option of text recognition.
Also my handwriting is terrible, how good is the conversion and recognition?
Thanks
That was my method of using OneNote on my Surface 2. Taking notes with the Metro version of ON and then cleaning up and amending the notes with the desktop version.After consulting with my husband, I may switch to Metro.

I do not get the option under Advanced to "Make Onenote 2013 (desktop) the default OneNote application for OneNote links, notes, and clips". I tried following the steps above and reinstalling the free Onenote desktop version and then I think I found the problem. The free Onenote 2013 program seems to only be 32bit. I have 64bit Office Pro installed which includes the 64bit version of Onenote desktop. Has anyone else been able to change the default pen click to use Onenote desktop 64bit version? If so how? Thanks in advance.
asking in here too. any way to automatically enable page lines in the metro app - at the moment i need to enable them on a per-page basis
thanks
Of course the philosophy behind Metro apps is there are few settings and options to make them simple to use (to attract Apple users I suppose). That is why I can't stand Metro apps and try to use desktop apps as much as possible....The metro app simply doesn't do everything the desktop can, and it should. (that goes for all of the metro office apps... which we don't have...)
