Dynamically-updating "Master" note log?
Jimmy 6/6/2007 12:43:03 PM
(I apologize if this question has appeared twice; I posted it yesterday but
it's not showing up.)

I'm using OneNote to keep track of my notes and ideas throughout the day,
and I file them under a section/page that corresponds to the particular
project or issue that each note deals with. I really need a page that keeps
a running (chronological) log of all the notes I enter, so that I can have a
summary of what I've done each day.

I know that it is possible to tag each note, then do a search for all tagged
notes, then choose "Summary Page," but that's a hassle. I'd like to be able
to look at this page at any moment and have it be dynamically updated with
all my notes from every section or page.

In effect, this would be the same as if I wrote each note on the master page
and tagged it with a project/issue name, and then was able to filter which
project's notes I'd like to see at any given point - does that make sense?
The only way I know to filter tagged notes now is using the search function
and generating a new summary page for those tagged notes, but this is
something I'm going to need to do a LOT, and I don't want it to be tedious;
it needs to update dynamically with me just choosing which set of notes I
want to see.

Does anybody know how to do this sort of thing with OneNote, or can suggest
alternative software to achieve this?

Thanks in advance!
