Page Tab Navigation

Please improve page tab navigation. When using OneNote on a tablet it is
very difficult to navigate to the next set of page tabs. On my screen, 21
page tabs are displayed on the left. When I get to page 21 and want to go to
page twenty-two, I have to hit the down arrow navigation tab. But instead of
taking me to page tab 22, it takes me to page tab 42, the last one in the
next set of 21 page tabs! Then I have to move my pen up to the top of the
page and click page tab 22 myself. Doing this over and over becomes
annoying, especially if loading up the pages takes a minute when, say, the
processor is under a heavy load. Of course, I am using a tablet and pen so I
can't just press ctrl+PgDn to get the desired page.

Please come up with a better navigation scheme!

By the way, for anyone who is interested, I came up w/ a way to use
ctrl+PgDn/PgUp via the tablet pen to get to the next tab when you're at the
end of a tabset without skipping to the last tab in the new set.

Add a shortcut to the taskbar that points to a visual basic script with the
following code:

set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.SendKeys "%{ESC}"
WScript.Sleep 10
WshShell.SendKeys "^{PgUp}"

and one more file and shortcut for page down:

set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.SendKeys "%{ESC}"
WScript.Sleep 10
WshShell.SendKeys "^{PgDn}"

I just named the files pgup.vbs & pgdn.vbs and found some nice up and down
arrow icons for the shortcuts on the taskbar. Not the ideal solution, but it
works.
