I feel like I must be thick-headed or something but I'm unable to locate even a vestige of any templates for OneNote on templates.office.com. That's where you're taken when you click on "Templates on Office.com" at the bottom of the Templates task pane. So, I'm unclear on why there would be none at all available when a link to them is provided.



I guess I should probably add that I'm using OneNote 2013 and I've tried on both a Windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit machine as well as one running Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit.

You are doing the right thing here. However there are a lot of issues with downloading templates from Office.com lately. Word, Visio, PowerPoint and Excel should be showing examples and they don't. Try again after a couple of days (how stupid this may sound - sorry )
