Problem with Flags..

[Rudy Moore]

Hi,

I'm running ON 2007 with the refresh on XP. My notebooks are stored to a
flash drive, meaning I have to keep the flash drive plugged in to get paste
to work correctly (already understood problem).

I just discovered that you could change the default ctrl-1-9 flags. I
really like how flexible they are, but they have a big problem.

Configuration information about the tags is not saved. I create a new tag
using Insert -> Tag -> Customize my tags. I click Add. Create a new tag
with a smiley face and a name of "Yes" It appears in the Current Tags list.
I use the up arrow to move it up to the ctrl-9 position.

Now I can use the quick key for the flag with no problems. But when I close
and reopen one note, it looses that tag. It seems like tags should be saved
into individual notebooks or perhaps into the preference information for a
particular installation of onenote...

Thanks!
Rudy Moore

Go on Connect *right now* and submit this as feedback.
The beta is going to close very soon, so time is of essence.

That is indeed what should happen, and it does on my install. Are you
transferring the files from the USB drive to another computer?

The USB drive should be irrelevant, as the information about the Tag
definitions is stored in a file in your local profile on the C: drive.

Can you temporarily close the notebook(s) stored on the USB drive (be sure
to sync first!) and then try to create a new notebook which is stored on
your local HD? Then try to configure a custom Tag, and see if the Tag
definitions survive a restart in that scenario. If they don't something
else is going on. At that point, I would do a Detect and Repair and then
try submitting a bug report.
