The short answer is that I now process my notes onto project pages.<br /><br />That might be an interesting to blog about, so I'll have to pull some notes together and update with a new post.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />kalKalnelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17935054435071109772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4686394084298282064.post-8297531615671586342010-01-12T11:51:47.958-05:002010-01-12T11:51:47.958-05:00Kal,

What happens if someone asks for a status on the customer Johnson? You've likely got several projects - some complete, some not. How do you corrall all of the info for a question not aimed at this specific project?<br /><br />SidTheBadSidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4686394084298282064.post-63471590511187369362008-11-08T11:42:00.000-05:002008-11-08T11:42:00.000-05:00Hi David,Thanks for the workaround for tabbing.

I've never noticed that it wasn't in OneNote -- it'll be great to have that as reference.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, I'm wondering if you have a setting that is screwing up your table indenting ability. After reading your message, I tried creating a table through the Table command and by importing a table from Excel, and I'm able to indent second and subsequent lines with no problem. <BR/><BR/>FWIW, I'm using OneNote 2007 with SP1 installed.<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>kalKalnelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17935054435071109772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4686394084298282064.post-22651455162155416852008-11-08T03:07:00.000-05:002008-11-08T03:07:00.000-05:00Thanks KalInteresting thing.The problem I was expe...Thanks Kal<BR/><BR/>Interesting thing.<BR/><BR/>The problem I was experiencing only occurs if I use the Table function to create the table.<BR/><BR/>If I use "text" [TAB] as you suggested then the resultant table does allow me to indent second and subsequent lines and to separately tag each line.<BR/><BR/>The work around for the missing TAB key isn't mine.<BR/><BR/>As I had pasted the tip into OneNote for reference purposes, I can pass it on to you with acknowledgment of the sources:<BR/><BR/>"Do you miss tab in OneNote?<BR/>One of my favourite features in OneNote 2007 is that when you hit tab it auto inserts a table for you, I have found this to be the best way to start making tables. I have only once wanted to enter an old fashion tab in OneNote and I did it by copying and pasting from Notebook/Windows Run dialog. Anyhow it looks like Olya Veselova, OneNote PM, has blogged something new: Workaround for "turning off" the TAB key creating a table instead of a regular TAB in OneNote. Here is her tip:<BR/> Create an Auto-correct rule that turns your chosen character sequence (e.g. "\t") into a regular TAB:<BR/> 1. Open Notepad and type one TAB. Select it and copy it. <BR/> 2. Go to OneNote and click Tools > Auto-correct Options... <BR/> 3. In the dialog, put your desired sequence of characters (e.g. \t, or \tab, or TAB, or whatever you like) into the "Replace:" field. <BR/> 4. Paste the TAB that you copied from Notepad into the "With:" filed. Click Add. <BR/> Now, any \t followed by a SPACE will be replaced by a regular TAB.<BR/>Check out the full post here: Workaround for "turning off" the TAB key creating a table instead of a regular TAB in OneNote.<BR/><BR/>Pasted from http://blogs.msdn.com/descapa/ "<BR/><BR/>David in SydneyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4686394084298282064.post-16467812045362822252008-11-07T23:10:00.000-05:002008-11-07T23:10:00.000-05:00Hi David,I usually create new Next Action tables o...Hi David,<BR/><BR/>I usually create new Next Action tables on the fly -- type the phrase "Next Action," hit tab, type "Due Date," hit enter for a new blank line. <BR/><BR/>But, if you want to automate it, I'd recommend creating a blank table with the headers you want and saving it as a OneNote template. You could call it up by opening a new page based on a template whenever you want.<BR/><BR/>As far as indenting entries within a cell, I just put my cursor in front of the first word and press either tab or indent. Note that you can't indent the first line in a cell, just the ones that come after. <BR/><BR/>The both the flags for Outlook task lines and any other tags move with a line when you indent it, so I'm not quite sure if I understand what's happening with your indented tasks. <BR/><BR/>Are you trying to move something to a new order after you've tagged or linked it? Once you create a linked task, you can indent it, edit it, or put new info before or after it, but you can't move it to a new position on the page. <BR/><BR/>For instance, in the last OneNote list example I have in the blog post, if I tried to reverse the order of "Make chart of weekend..." and "Prepare backgrounder..." in the first row, I'd have lost the links to the tasks in Outlooks.<BR/><BR/>But, I can add new info between them, indent them or move them backward, etc.<BR/><BR/>(I'd be curious to hear more about your autocorrect rule, if you've found a way to fix that, because it's very frustrating!)<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>kalKalnelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17935054435071109772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4686394084298282064.post-33120202421797193562008-11-07T19:54:00.000-05:002008-11-07T19:54:00.000-05:00Thanks for publishing this Kal and great work.I'd ...Thanks for publishing this Kal and great work.<BR/><BR/>I'd love to have a way to automate the insertion of a Next Action table like you use, on a ON page.<BR/><BR/>I can't find any way to indent entries within a cell and to attach an indented Task or other icon to the indented entry. <BR/><BR/>I have an autocorrrect rule to create an indent but it's awkward.<BR/><BR/>And when I try to set a task or insert an icon anywhere within a cell, the icon appears back at the start of the first line in the cell :-(<BR/><BR/>Would be most grateful for any tips on that.

OneNote Mobile is severely limited -- about all you can do is take notes (but not in handwriting), insert cell phone pictures, and record audio notes.<BR/><BR/>I actually prefer to record mobile calls by clicking on the "Create note" command in the Phone app. It opens up the native WinMob notes app, which records the call and lets me take handwritten notes. I pull the note and the recording into desktop OneNote later.<BR/><BR/>To be honest, I've never tried recording a call using the recording app in OneNote Mobile. I'll have to give it a try. I generally don't take notes in the ON Mobile app, because it doesn't permit handwriting.<BR/><BR/>Also, a word of warning: ON Mobile also strips out all Outlook linking, so beware before you screw up your carefully created links. I'd recommend copying your "linked" original page to the ONMobile syncing file so you can see it, but keeping the master in a separate ON notebook. <BR/><BR/>I hope MS (or a third-party vendor) creates a more versatile, robust version of this program on the mobile. It's such a natural for the mobile user.Kalnelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17935054435071109772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4686394084298282064.post-59649971969777906512008-10-17T04:45:00.000-04:002008-10-17T04:45:00.000-04:00On re-reading what you wrote I assume there is a "...On re-reading what you wrote I assume there is a "record" button in one-note on the winmob device and as I've not yet installed onenote I wouldn't know that.
