Hiding Pages or Tables

[Michael Gerbasio]

Hi,
I use OneNote for keeping information on my projects together. I have it
running at meetings and have a Page: Meetings with Sub-pages for my meeting
notes titled by date. So I need to keep this open when I'm at job meetings.
I have other pages in the section I'd like to have hidden because it
contains a cost summary of the project and other information that I wouldn't
want anyone else to see.

Is there any way to password protect or hide a page, or even just hide a
table? Thanks.

Regards-Michael G.

Two ideas:
1) (real) Put the pages you don't want them to see in a separate section in
the same notebook. I prefer this to putting them in the same section
because it makes it easier to put things together for the final deliverable
package.
2) (Trickier) When you leave for the meeting, add a photograph to the bottom
of the notes page you don't want to show. Drag it up over the content you
want to hide. Stretch it if you need it bigger. Delete it when you are done.
You might even use the logo for the client, which gives you a reason to have
it on the page.

Kathy,
Thanks. Actually, Item 2 may work out nicely for me.

If you don't mind, I'd like to know if you can tell me if there is a better
way to organize my notebook for item 1. I have a notebook, "Current
Projects", I have section group for each client, then a section for each job
for that client. It seems like for your suggestion, I'd need to have a
separate section just to hold the cost information. I'm thinking maybe a
section under each client for cost information and inserting a hyperlink to
that table in each project section. Does that sound like the best way to do
it? Thanks.

I have notebooks for projects, with sections inside each for the information
about that project. Here, I have pages for the cost and schedule stuff for
the project, the meeting notes, the call tracking related to that project,
my research, etc.

I have a separate notebook called "Clients" and it has a section per client.
Those sections have contact information pages, general information pages,
and project summary pages which then hyperlink to the pages with the project
details.

One reason I do that is that most of my client contacts start small and
grow. Many of my clients come to me with the need to have emergencies solved
first. After that, they start contacting me for project work. When they call
me first, I create a section in the "Clients" notebook. I expand them out to
their own notebooks when they set up projects.

This is just how I do it. I hope others will post with how they set things
up - everyone has their own method.
