Of course this is not a full blown word processor, but then if it was, it would be Word and not One Note. Tables are still needed in notes: just today I spent an hour trying to figure out how to make a table, or as close as I could get to in OneNote, work for me, and then even worse to actually e-mail it.

Simply put, I'm nearly in love with OneNote, but it is sorely lacking some basics: tables, retained formatting in the email structure, etc. Oh well, I'm sure the wizards in Washington (uh, state) will figure all this out with the 2007 release. I for one look forward to it, and the ability to do even more in One Note.

Me too! (been a oneNote user since late in the 1990's). BUT, the more I use it, the more it becomes the center of everything. The posted concept, that it is for note taking, is NOT correct. I know a number of people who use it for nearly everything except email and calendaring. I use it to tie together all the other tools (for me, Excel, Word, Outlook, PPT, IE, all my web site maintenance, simulation programming, and on and on. My wife and I share notebooks about our life and family. It is a magic tool.

Of course, we want so many features to support all this.

My request is to focus on basic tools. It has enough glitter and magic already. But can't do the obvious (for instance a "Find/Replace" on a block of text (have to copy paste to word, VBA Editor or something to do that!). You can't control tables well. I need to change the indent width in outlines (it is WAY too wide and makes a messy display with 10 levels deep (yes, do that often).

So my request is to make the editing more flexible and include all the basic stuff. FIRST, a replace function that actually works; SECOND more control over outlines; THIRD Table control.

Thanks for a most oneDerful tool: oneNote!
