I have never been that formal with my paperwork... (well actualy, i never do paperwork like that) but in Student Council meetings and the like i have taken notes for minutes and things like that, and my best tip would be dont try to write everything down, write the important stuff, and the detals that will be critical later on. After the meeting, you can go back in and fill out your notes on the broad things that will be easy to rembmer. I generally just us my latop and MS word to take notes, but MS also has a program called "One Note" that is specificaly for takeing notes. I have used it a little, but have found it's benifits next to MS Word to be neglegabal. I think the key to this kind of thing is to do what you are comfortable with, but is still legable to others.

That being said, making a few templates or tables in MS word doesnt hurt at all, b/c that will let you automatically put in the stuff that you need in every page anyway... If you need specific help with how to do this, just ask and I'd be more then willing to tell you how!
