Feature request: OneNote should do mindmapping and internal links

[jodysev]

I love OneNote. Two suggestions:

1. Make it real easy to insert a link to another page or object in My
Notebook. I can do it in Word but haven't figured out how to do it in
OneNote.

2. Allow me to make a mindmap. Right now I can draw a line between two text
boxes, but that's not the same thing as having a visual connecting line that
becomes a link or navigational connection between two text boxes or a series
of them. All of the outliners and mindmap programs out there are two
dimensional, but with OneNote and linking power mindmaps and outlines could
easily become three dimensional.

Yes, that's a popular request. FAQ 11.1.
http://www.factplace.com/onenotefaq.htm Hopefully they'll be able to do
something with that in the next version, but we'll have to wait and see.

2. Allow me to make a mindmap. Right now I can draw a line between two
text
boxes, but that's not the same thing as having a visual connecting line
that
becomes a link or navigational connection between two text boxes or a
series
of them. All of the outliners and mindmap programs out there are two

That's an extension of #1. A little harder to do, especially with
OneNote's interface, but would be useful.
