Suggestion...

[Carmen Gauvin-O'Donnell]

I have some notebooks that have *a lot* of tabs, and I find it a little
frustrating to have to click on the little right and left black arrow one at
a time to get through them... how about incorporating a "you hold it and it
will start scrolling" functionality to those buttons?

Just my $0.02 on a GREAT product!

Sorry, I do not understand what you mean :-(
Is this about the tabs of the pages?

I second that. Moreover it could be that tabs are shown in two lines!
If you propose a suggestion at "connect" I will rate it.

No, Section tabs along the top.

If you have lots of Section tabs (too many to fit along the top) then
OneNote shows little black overflow arrows indicating that there are more
Section tabs off screen.

The issue is that the overflow arrows have to be repeatedly clicked one at a
time to scroll through to find the Section tab you want.

Carmen is suggesting a "click and hold" on the overflow arrows so OneNote
scrolls the Section tabs while you're holding the mouse button down.

I support the feature although I normally expand the Notebook Navigation Bar
on the left, expand the Notebook and click on the Section I want for instant
access.

Oh, now I see!
Thanks a lot. I really had no idea in what mention the arrows was about.

Yes, I know that.

Sounds reasonable

although I normally expand the Notebook
Navigation Bar on the left, expand the Notebook and click on the
Section I want for instant access.

That's what I do too. Normally on my desktop I always have the
Navigation pane open. Not so easy in my TabletPC in portrait mode.
So in first place I try to keep the number of sections small and use
section groups, also nested them when necessary.

Thanks for your explanation and time taken for creating the impressive
collection of sections g>.

Pls excuse me, Carmen, for not having understood what you were talking
about.
After John Waller's explanations I think that your suggestion is
reasonable.

Same here which is why I rarely use the overflow arrows.

section groups, also nested them when necessary.

We've tried something similar in my wife's business but with our structure
of:

Notebooks = Teachers
Sections = Students (can't be grouped)
Pages = Singing Lessons

we've concluded that 50+ sections per notebook is unavoidable but very
manageable.

With the Navigation Bar permanently expanded on a 20"+ monitor, finding the
correct section (student) quickly is fast and easy.

No problem. Took at least 5 seconds

Thanks Rainald. I've gone over and done that.
