Cornell Note Taking method and All My Notes Organizer software

So named Cornell Notetaking method (click here if you need more details about this notetaking system) is a notetaking system is developed by Walter Pauk back in 1950s, and efficiency of this method had been proved once again in 2008 by Wichita State University as such which helps recalling the material better than other notetaking methods.

As you can notice, AllMyNotes Organizer is a free-form notes app, and you can use it for taking notes using the Cornell Notetaking method. Particularly, we can advice two possible ways for it:
    1. Create a Table (use Edit -> Insert -> Table menu item), 2 rows X 2 columns. Then merge columns (use right-click pop-up menu for that) in the bottom row to place Summary there. Write Cues/Keywords in the top-left cell, and Notes in the top-right cell. You can use cell background coloring to easily identify Cues/Keywords, Notes, and Summary section.
    2. Whole workspace in AllMyNotes Organizer are split to left-hand hierarchy tree, and right-hand rich-text editor. The layout allows using hierarchy tree for writing Cues/Keywords in the hierarchy tree, and attach connected Notes to each of them. Summary can be written as the last note in the hierarchy tree.
