Microsoft OneOnte 2010 : Creating Sections & Creating Section Groups

1. Creating Sections

Within a notebook, create a section for each topic you want to address. Use these techniques to create a section:

• Click the Create a New Section button (located to the right of the section tabs).

• Press Ctrl+T.

• Right-click a section or notebook name and choose New Section.

After you create a section, enter a name for it on the section tab. When you create a new section, OneNote creates the first page in the section automatically.

1.1. Create a Section

Tip:

To rename a section, double-click its name in the section tab and type a new name.

To change the position of sections on the Navigation bar or section tabs, drag a section. On the Navigation bar, drag a section name up or down; on the section tabs, drag a section tab left or right.

Note:

Try This!

Each section you create is stored in a Microsoft OneNote Section (.one) file in the notebook folder where data about your notebook is kept. To see the path to this file, move the pointer over a section tab. A ScreenTip shows the section name and path to its .one file.

2. Creating Section Groups

Think of a section group as a subfolder for storing sections. In the Navigation bar and section tabs, section groups always appear after sections. Place sections in a section group to organize sections better.

To create a section group, right-click a section tab or section in the Navigation bar and choose New Section Group. Then enter a name for the group.

After you create a section group, you can create sections for it or move sections into it.

On the Navigation bar and section tabs, section group names are marked with the section group icon, some stacked folders.

To open a section group, click its name on the Navigation bar or section tabs. After you open a section group, you see only section tabs belonging to the group in the section tabs area. Use these techniques to see all the sections in the notebook rather than the sections in a group:

• Click the Navigate to Parent Section Group button (located to the left of the section group name in the section tabs).

• Click a parent section in the Navigation bar.
