OneNote for Windows 8 is updated to make it easier to draw with your fingers

The OneNote application for Windows 8 is, for now, the only Office tool with a Modern UI version. While we wait for the rest of the members of the office suite, Microsoft continues to improve its notepad application, incorporating something so necessary for current touch devices, such as a new drawing tool that makes it easier to draw with our fingers.

OneNote was born into a world of Tablet PCs, where we needed a stylus to draw or take notes on the screen.But the vast majority of current tablets do without this accessory and base all our tactile interactions on our fingers. So it was only a matter of time before OneNote for Windows 8 introduced a tool adapted to drawing with your fingers

The new tool is added in the drawing option of the application's circular menu, with different line, thickness or color options. Once the line is configured to our liking, we can draw comfortably on our notes and even save the format as a favorite for future occasions. To close the drawing mode, simply access the circular menu again and exit it.

The Office team assures that this function was highly demanded by users of tablets with Windows 8, many of whom , if not most, do not include a pen or stylus as an accessory. For those who do have a stylus, like those lucky owners of a Surface Pro, the tool can be used just as comfortably with it.It is also functional for mouse users, although in this case the experience will not be the same.
