Abstract

E-textbooks encourage the user to perform all of the operations typically performed with a hardcopy text in addition to some functions not possible with paper books. This project works to implement an e-textbook with as much capability as possible using software tools that are already in place. Because Microsoft OneNote already implements some of the desired functions of e-textbooks, it is a suitable software foundation for this work. This paper will detail the implementation of the e-textbook plug-in for OneNote and Windows. Specifically, it will discuss the methods of harnessing the built-in capabilities of OneNote such as page content creation and modification, specialized controls creation, and interaction with other programs.
