Problems with tags

[rvabels]

When I try to tag a particular line, the tag is placed at the beginning of
the paragraph rather than on the line where I have placed the cursor and
where I want the tag to appear. This is erratic. Sometimes it will place it
on the line where the cursor is, other times it jumps to the beginning of the
paragraph.

Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Tags always go with the entire paragraph, so they will always appear at the
beginning of the paragraph. My guess is that the times your tags end up on
the line with the cursor, that line is separated from the ones above it by a
hard return (or it is in its own note container).

This issue is killing me.
I have used OneNote for years to keep track of many items through the use of
tags(/flags). In 2003 I could control the paragraph extent, and see it via
the shading options. In 2007, I haven't found a way to continue my well
established habits. I have been waiting to "learn" what I was doing wrong,
to no avail. Now I begin to see that ON is parsing things accoding to new
rules, without indication (in tablet mode), and without a set of tools to
modify the results (in tablet mode).

My tag summaries are horrible, fragmented or combined, and I am actually
less productive now, having to correct my notes when I can sit down with the
keyboard later.

Lots of great improvements in 2007, but I seem to have taken two steps
backward on the fundamental use of OneNote. Please point me to a tutorial,
faq, help, etc that I have somehow overlooked.

My onenote crashes everytime I try to generate a tag summary. Any advice?

The first thing I would try is a detect and repair

Thank you. I have already done this and it still crashes.

What version of OneNote are you using?

You might try deleting the OneNote cache file and let OneNote rebuild
it. http://www.officeforlawyers.com/onenote/delcache.htm
