Opening Notebooks

[StevieT]

Hey

I figured out how to open a whole notebook, by highlighting the folder and
clicking open via OneNote.

However, is there anyway for me to open the same notebook via My Documents?
When you double click the folder it opens all the sections contained with it.
And youn really shouldn't have to right click the folder and select 'Open
with OneNote'. Maybe collating all the sections into one file would also be
helpful?

I presume you are talking about OneNote 2007?
The easiest way to open a notebook is to use File, Open Notebook from
within OneNote.

The concept of a OneNote notebook is a bit different than what you are
used to from a document. With OneNote, you generally open all the
notebooks up you want to work with for the time being and then switch
around among them with the navigation bar in OneNote. I for example have
all notebooks open that I'll be doing any work in within the next two
months.

StevieT shared these words of wisdom:

Stevie,
follows Patrick's advice.
What he explained is the way to do things.

However, is there anyway for me to open the same notebook via My
Documents? When you double click the folder it opens all the
sections contained with it. And youn really shouldn't have to
right click the folder and select 'Open with OneNote'. Maybe
collating all the sections into one file would also be helpful?

Should be really necessary to open a notebook directly from the
Explorer:
clicking on one of the "*.one" files only open the respective section.
In ON this will show up under "Last opened sections" (icon the lower
left of the left navigation pane).
Each section has a "TOC" (table of content), filename: "OneNote Table
Of Contents.onetoc2". Clicking on that opens the whole the whole
notebook or the section group ( in case the notebook is set up with
groups of section.

This only for explaining the situation.
Work working with ON do as Patrick has said.
