Newbie - issues with OneNote

[epaalx]

Hi,
just been using (bought, not trial) OneNote for a week or so (on Win2K)..
I don't if this program was usable before SP1 but I think it only at this
stage I know that's I'd say it has a lot of potential. On MS's OneNote
homepage there are quotes from many advocates, so it must reflect badly on me
that I am not as enthusiastic.
Below is my list of issues that I have compiled myself based on my
experience (after reading this forum, I can see that others have mentioned
some of my issues already)... Perhaps this would be useful to MS to see how
newbies react to OneNote, otherwise, I'd appreciate any corrections or
mistakes on my part.

Complaints
1. Unable to create a hyperlink/cross-reference to another Note-container or
page. (Using file':<section-file> is clumsy way to create hyperlinks to other
sections
2. Unable to group several items (Note-containers, pictures) so that any
movement (or manipulation) of one will move all;
3. Unable to lock Note-container or page (or group, as per 2) to prevent its
content from being modified;
4. Can't rename sub-pages - currently assume name of first text on sub-page;
5. Cannot hide a subpage.
6. No arrow graphics
7. No date of creation and last change for Note-container.

Questions
1. How to reopen Closed sections/folders - they tend to disappear from
"menu of folders and sections"?

Praise
1. Good keyboard shortcuts for almost every function

WRT your question about opening a folder/section:
<File | Open | Section...> - browse to the section; if you already have a
folder open that contains the section, it will reopen the section in this
folder otherwise a shortcut to the section will be created in your current
folder.

Same for folders: <File | Open | Folder...>
