Suggestion: scrolling feature for tablets with pen and touchscreen

[Martincolby]

I have OneNote 2007 and a tablet PC (Lenovo X61) with touchscreen capability.
I use my tablet and onenote to take extensive notes everyday as a medical
student. I think it would be very helpful if OneNote can be programmed to
recognize the pen differently from a touch. For example, this would allow
someone to touch and drag the writing space to move around while writing with
the pen, much like flipping the pages of a notebook with one hand while
writing with another. Right now, scrolling and navigating a page is slow
because one is forced to use the tiny scroll bar while in tablet mode.

Experiencing your same frustration, I have come to use the "crazy arrow
scroll wheel" that comes as part of Inkseine. I have a shortcut to
scrollcontrol.exe in my super task bar. This allows me to scroll more
efficiently without going to the edge for the tiny little scroll bar. The
scrollcontrol also has a screen shot button which is nice.
