One thing that frustrates my about OneNote is that I often have a page/
section/folder that I use frequently and would like to be able to get
at from multiple places in my file/folder hierarchy (i.e. conent that
conceptually belongs in multiple places in the hierarchy).
Is there any way to set up a shortcut to a page/section/folder that
lives somewhere else in the hierarchy?
Here's an example of my problem:
I have two folder hierarchies, one organized by project (requirements,
todo lists, etc.) and one containing non-project related reference
material (code snippets, examples of SQL queries, etc.).
I usually need to work with both hierarchies at the same time, but I
can't do this without repeatedly navigating my folder hiererchy to
switch from one location to another.
Thanks,
Jonathan

If you are using 2007, I can offer you two tips that have helped me:
First, use hyperlinks to connect the notes that are related. For example, if
a to-do item references a piece of reference material, add a link to the
reference item with the to-do item.
Second, use Control-M. Control-M opens a new copy of the OneNote interface
where you have access to all the same notebooks, but can navigate and
interact with a second location. In your set up, that would mean having one
interface copy open to the project side and one to the reference side. You
can take notes and copy and paste things from one to the other with ease.
If you are using 2003, you can do some of this with your flags/tags, but it
isn't nearly as nice or as clean.

Wow...I didn't even know there was a 2007 version. I have been using
2003.
Sounds like they have added a few features that can help me out.
Thanks for the tips!

Sure, use OneNote 2007's hyperlinks.
