draging from unfiled notes to other note books

[gscottrobinson]

I must be doing something really silly here.

1. I get a clipping, which is stored in "unfiled notes"
2. I'd like to move that clipping to another notebook. So, I "expand
the navgation bar" which produces a list of my notebooks and their
sections.
3. However, when I drag the note from the "unfiled section" to the
other section, I get a "you can't do that" circle with a line across
it.
4. Cutting and pasting works fine, but I'd rather drag. Any thoughts?

Mr. Robinson,
Dragging works in ON2007. Try this:
1. Left-click and hold the page title in the stack of tabs on the right side
of the screen.
2. Drag the little gray box first to the minimized notebook list pane top
bar (or opened, both work) and the pane opens.
3. Move down and drop the little gray box on the section you wish to see the
moved page join.

I have seen two different behaviors after this: a) ON2007 returns to the
"Unfiled" section or source of the Drag operation, or b) the target section
is open with the moved page active and at the bottom of the section page tabs.

Alternate:
1. Right-click the page tab and there is a drop-down item "Move Page to..."
and a fly-out arrowhead.
2. The fly-out menu offers several Section names that saw recent moves.
This is convenient. Currently I see three offered Section names and the
further choice "Another Section".
3. "Another Section" chosen pops up a pane in the middle of my screen that
scrolls through all Sections and Notebooks. I can double-click on the Section
title I want to be the target. The pane closes and the page is moved.
4. As performed a moment ago I am returned to the "Unfiled" Section

I hope this helps.

It would be a great feature to be able to add a permanent or controllablly
persistent entry to that list of target Sections. Permanently altering where
screen grabs or "Print to OneNote" goes might cause surprises -- although
different people would have a wide range of needs on this.

I'd like to make myself a short and persistent list, subject to changes in
my notebook structure. Dan, Olya, will you please regard this as a
suggestion? I cannot get Connect to allow me "in".
