Keyboard shortcut--finish one note, start another?

[Brian Burtt]

Hi,

I've just started using OneNote 2007, primarily for taking notes while
reading books for graduate school. I'm working in a pretty linear
way, so I'll go down the page:

p. 25
Notes on something from p. 25, perhaps with a quote from the text.

p. 26
Notes on something from p. 26, perhaps with a quote from the text.

p. 28
Notes on something from p. 28, perhaps with a quote from the text.


Where each of those is in its own separate note container, so I have
the option of moving them around, tagging, marking up when I'm closer
to writing something.

So say I'm at the end of the note from p. 28. Is there a keyboard way
to move down the page and start a new note. Rather than a) having to
use the mouse to click, which breaks my flow, or b) if I hit return a
couple of times and continue to type, I'm still in the same note
container.

Thanks!

does Ctrl-end, followed by a down arrow, do what you are expecting?

Trying...

Pretty close!

It does, however, put me sorta in the middle of the page. Is there
any easy way, rather than arrowing around, for it to put me against
the left margin (like my previous notes). If not, that I can do this
with a macro...

(Looking, reading online...) Wait...no macros in OneNote??

(In any case, thanks for the response.)

After playing around a bit more...typing <home> gets me pretty much
where I want to be.

Try Ctrl-end, return, down arrow. Should do what you want, but will
leave you with an extra empty line in your last note.

One last post from me.

If I'm at the end of the note (ctrl-end if not there already), I can
<home> to get to the beginning of the line, and then <down-arrow>
twice, which will put me at the beginning of a left-aligned note. I
wouldn't have experimented my way to this without the responses in
this thread--thanks!
