Page tabs - renaming

[A]

How can I rename page tabs?
I'm running SP1 and thought I could right click to edit page tab name, but
this does not work
TIA

Are you talking about page tabs (down the right side of the OneNote
interface) or section tabs (across the side of the interface)? Section tabs
can be renamed via double click and type. Page tab names come from the title
of the page. To change them, view the page and change the text in the title
area.

In the bottom RHS of the screen is a small white left pointing arrow in a
lavender blue circle. This is the Show/Hide Page Titles toggle button.

Click it once to see page titles instead of numbers. This could be made more
intuitive IMHO

Why would anyone ever want page numbes instead of names? Seems

enormously unintuitive to me.

I couldn't agree more

The page numbers serve to _reversibly_ allow more of the page to show at
the expense of the page names, similar to the way internet browsers that
are more advanced than IE6 allow you to see more of a web page by
temprorarily suppressing the view of most of the controls and buttons.

Stephen,

Doesn't F11 take you at least part way to what you want in IE6?

Adam,

The numbers take up less space than long alphabetic titles. It gives
you the option of having more area to type on/in if you use numbers.

Also in some use cases a numeric value, in sequence, is useful. Pages
are in those use cases automatically numbered in the order they are
created.

The toggling process between page naming and numbering is still very
unintuitive though.
