I'm telling you, the list of things that started going wrong with OneNote
after I registered the full retail version of ON 2007 is really starting
to get irritating.
Now, most of the time now when I click on a link to a page or section in
OneNote I get a dialog asking, "Do you want to open the 'FolderName'
notebook in OneNote (recommended) or just open the 'SectionName' section
from within it?" Whichever one I choose, OneNote then opens that folder
or section separately even though it is already open in another part of
OneNote. By "separately" I mean as a separate button in the Navigation
Bar instead of just jumping to the already opened section in the already
opened notebook.
I have double checked the links and they give the full path and a section
ID code. If I edit the link to remove the path to the file then the link
correctly jumps to the specified section. This tells me that the section
ID is still good which means OneNote isn't simply resorting to the
pathname because the section ID is corrupted.
However, editing the link is a bad workaround because it means I would
have to spend an additional few seconds editing each and every link as I
create it. I create a lot of links. I upgraded to OneNote 2007
specifically for the linking features. It would use up about 10% of my
time when I am doing heavy research to edit all the links I create. I
already have to do so many different workarounds that almost half of my
time spent in OneNote seems to be wasted on workarounds. At least when I
am doing heavy research or organizing my thoughts. When you are just
trying to organize your thoughts it is not good to be constantly
interrupted with doing workarounds. By the time I finish doing all the
workarounds I sometimes forget what the heck I was doing them for.
