In previous chapters, we discussed working in Microsoft Office OneNote 2007, creating a notebook, and collecting and storing information of many types from many sources. If you use OneNote on a regular basis, you will soon have a large collection of information. And chances are, even if you start out with a logically organized notebook, you will need to restructure content from time to time.
OneNote provides several means by which you can call attention to a note for a specific purpose or make it easier to retrieve one note or related notes stored on different pages and in different sections. One method, using OneNote tags, enables you to assign notes to different categories and then generate a report containing the categorized notes. With OneNote, you can also search across many more types of information than you are accustomed to, making it easy to find stored information.
In this chapter, you will learn how to move information on a page, between pages, between sections, and between notebooks. You will learn how to restructure a page after deleting content, tag notes for organizational purposes, and flag notes for follow-up. Finally, you will learn how to search for content within a OneNote notebook.
