OneNote 2007 Beta 2 - Note flag summary problem

[alanmellerick]

Version: Office 2007 beta 2
Platform: XP SP2

I upgraded all my old OneNote 2003 notes to the 2007 format.

When I try to view a note flag summary in 2007 Beta 2 the Task Pane only
shows any note flag in the current page, regardless of the Search scope that
is set.

If I make a change to any existing Note Flag, it appears in the task pane,
but if I close the pane and re-open, they're all gone again.

The animated 'searching...' magnifying-glass keeps animating.

Anyone else?

OK, found the solution in another post (marked 207, not 2007!)... you have to
disable WDS searching...

Did you install WDS 3 on your computer and give it a chance to fully
index your OneNote (by leaving it up when you weren't working on your
computer for several hours)?

Similar problem here which seems to gradually resolve itself as WDS catches
up. However, the note flags summary seems to be organised in a random and
illogical order. Surely it should either be alphabetical or match the order
of my flags as defined in the customise flags pane?

No, I removed WDS 3 after just an hour or so; I want to wait until the
engine+GUI WDS3 is released.

My (un-WDS3-sorted) note flags are also slightly all over the place. I begin
them with "1...9" so as to view the different flags in the Flag Summary as I
want.

OneNote 2007 seems to be ignoring this, and the headings are not ordered
alpha-numerically.

Come on MS - lots of work to do yet!
