OneNote’s Template feature can be very handy for repetitive Checklists and Meeting Minutes. They can also be used to add background pictures and dress up your existing pages.
Jeff created a PowerToy to help manage your templates, since it can be somewhat cumbersome using the built-in workflow. It does not include the existing installed templates by default, but you probably don’t want the clutter of 100+ templates anyways.
Example usage for a Deacon’s Meeting…
- Use the "Formal Meeting Notes", add all possible attendees, insert church logo, save as Template.
- At start of meeting, just create a new page and insert your template. Remove non-attendees.
- At end of meeting, do a Save As… PDF.
- Next Meeting, just copy over any open issues or agenda items
Another Example for Daily To Do List…
- Create a page from one of the Planners.
- Customize to your workflow.
- Add links to common notebooks, shortcuts, and repetitive tasks.
- Save as New Template using PowerToy
Cool article. This addon looks very useful. Thanks.

Where is the place should I backup the Template Manager Data? (Folder/File or Registry?)
Thanks A lots – 2011/12/29
I’m very new to OneNotes. The template manager is very slick. I have been tasked to find a way to have shared/common templates available to all users. Additionally, we would like to have a specific template become the default for all new pages. Is there a way to do either of the above without touching each user’s system?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
I have installed Template Manager, but it doesn’t appear on the Insert tab, as advertized. I went to the Options->Add-ins->Manage dialog, but it was not even on the list.
2007 template manager link gives error.
The problem is that it just changes the background color of the existing pages but not the font, the font color and font size. Any idea?
Where do the templates go , so I can share that folder ?
Is there a way to import the template supplied with OneNote into the Template Manager?
