*.onetoc files and re/grouping templates

[Kieseyhow]

I would like to organize my, downloaded and created, OneNote templates into
groups in the Task Pane like the default templates are organized. Many
templates I have downloaded appear as a new group in the task pane, and I
would like to add a template to an existing group. I discovered how to do
this with the other Office templates, simply by moving and renaming the
folders around here:
[path]\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates\
or here:
[path]\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\1033\
Onenote works differently... it uses a binary *.onetoc file... grrrrrrrrrr
Didn't anyone think maybe some people like to be organized???

I would really like to know how to do this. It was done originally with the
default templates, it CAN be done with the other ones. How?

I assume that you are referring to OneNote stationery.

As far as I am aware it isn't possible to do what I guess you want to
do.

Thank you for your honest reply. I just have a feeling, that is could be.
those templates were arranged in that way by someone, they should be able to
be arranged and reorganised via the same means. Perhaps a template powertoy
could be created?

I must be missing something in the question, because as far as I know this
is not only possible, but fairly easy. (And, it doesn't really have anything
to do with the onetoc files.)

Kathy,

Maybe your interpretation of Kiesey's question is the correct one. Up
to him to work through your link and let us know.

OMG.... Kathy!... that is so simple and works great... more than great, as I
can edit all the original ones to suit my needs and get rid of the originals.

The freaky thing is, I regularly do this with all manner of themes and
templates in almost all the other Office and other programs. Also, in
Windows itself with various configuration files. I don't know what happened
here, I guess I was awake, while sleeping.. lol

Thanks, I should have simply used common sense, instead of looking for
features that think for me, in the program. In fact, now that I think of it,
I cannot accidently ruin my templates (which I have done in Word) from within
the daily use of Onenote.

Thanks again, for showing me where the fridge is, and where the ingredients
are, now I'll just get to work and make some really nice sandwiches in
Onenote.

Glad to help. If you make any stationery sets that you feel others might
need, share them. I have a spot on my site for sharing stationery (with
credit to the creator), so does Office Online.
