Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft® Office OneNote™ 2003

Creating Outlines Using the Pen

So far, all the outlines we've covered have been created using the keyboard. However, you can create outlines with the Tablet PC pen as well. The process isn't as simple with the pen, though. For example, in Figure 14.11, the training outline looks just fine, but if you tried to use the Outlining toolbar to collapse the third level, you'd find that OneNote doesn't recognize the outline levels. That's because when you write directly on the screen, OneNote doesn't always know that each line you create is part of the same line or note container.
