You cannot create a new column by pressing the tab key in OneNote 2003 (817108)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Office OneNote 2003
- Microsoft Office OneNote 2003, Service Pack 1 (SP1)
SYMPTOMSWhen you try to create a Horizontal Outline
in Microsoft Office OneNote 2003, after your text wraps to a new line, if you
press TAB instead of creating a new column, nothing happens.CAUSEThis problem may occur if the first heading is permitted to
wrap in the OneNote section. If the first heading wraps, you designate that the
first heading will be as wide as the whole Horizontal Outline.
Because of this, you cannot insert a new column inside that
heading.WORKAROUNDTo work around this problem, start a new column. To do so,
follow these steps:
- With the insertion point at the end of the text of the
first heading press ENTER.
- Type some text to the width that you want the first
column.
- Press TAB.
This inserts the new column. - Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each additional column that you
want to create.
You can now return to the first column that you created and
complete typing your text. Note Do not press ENTER when you are finished typing your text.
Pressing ENTER rearranges your column layout, undoing some of your
columns. If you want to create a new column layout under your existing
layout, for example: from three columns to two columns, follow these steps:
- Put the insertion point at the end of the last line of the
last column.
- If the last column is shorter than the other columns in the
layout, press Enter as many times as you want to bring the insertion point
below the last line of the tallest column.
- Press ENTER.
- Press SHIFT+TAB as many times as you want to promote the
new line to a top level heading.
You can now create a new column layout with different widths
than the previous columns. STATUS Microsoft
has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed
at the beginning of this article.
