Creating a Free-Form Pen or Highlighter

OneNote offers options for creating pens and highlighters in the color and width of your choice. After you create a pen or highlighter, it is added to the Favorite Pens list. This list comprises pens and highlighters that are available at the top of the Pens gallery.

To create a pen or highlighter, click More in the Pens gallery and choose More Color & Thickness Options. Then, in the Pen Properties dialog box, select Pen or Highlighter, choose a thickness, and choose a color.

Pens and highlighters you create are added automatically to the Favorite Pens list. By right-clicking a pen or highlighter in this list, you can remove it, move it higher in the list, or move it lower in the list.
