Create a Checklist in Microsoft OneNote

These instructions are written for OneNote 2016, but the steps should be similar to versions as far back as OneNote 2010.

Checklists are great for creating To-Do lists. They can be created on the fly or generated by searching for the tag that is used to generate a checkbox on an item on a page.  To create a simple checklist on the page with "checkable" checkboxes, first create your list, then convert it to a list with checkboxes.

Create a List

1. Place your cursor on the page.
2. Type a short list such as this one:
   Write a book
   Create a marketing plan
   Publish the book
   Market the book like crazy

Change the List into a Checklist

1. Highlight the items in the list.
2. Click on To-do in the Tags gallery on the Home tab.

The keystrokes for creating a To-do list is “Control + 1.”
