Hello,
I have Onenote 2007 on a Windows Vista machine running 2GB RAM.
I have a page that contains about 3 hours worth of class notes, and every
time I open it, it is slow to scroll and copy - basically everything just
slows way down.
I want to divide the page into subpages, as I have heard that that is how to
speed things back up (other suggestions would be appreciated.)
Does anyone know how to do this efficiently. I'm afraid if I try to copy an
hour worth of lector notes with the selection tool, onenote will freeze up or
at least take a while.
Thanks!

Some questions:
1. Are these typed or handwritten notes?
2. Are there audio recordings inserted? Video?
3. How large is the .one file on the hard drive?
4. How many "outline elements" (the little box which draws around the area
on the page into which you insert data)? For instance, if these are
handwritten notes, there probably are many, many boxes, but if typed, there
may not be that many.

Hi John,
Thanks for the reply!
Here are some answers to your questions
1) Kind of a mix, let me explain. I was writing (handwritten) notes in a pdf
program (bluebeam pdf revu) before I really discovered that onenote would be
better for the job. Anyway, I printed all of those notes to onenote, and all
of them (about 4 weeks of notes) are on one page in the section. In another
section (section 2) I have about 3 hours worth of notes which were
handwritten in onenote. It is in this section (section 2) that I really
noticed the screen scrolling slow, the long delays when selecting, random
switches from pencil mode to typing mode, and a few other things probably
related to it running slow. I'm not having much trouble with section 1 in
terms of speed. I should also mention that I've put a bunch of short clips of
text with tags on them in both sections 1 & 2, which are linked to a
"contents" page.
2) No audio or video recordings
3) 19 MB or so which is about 1/3 of the total size of all my onenote files
(a bit larger than expected compared with the rest of the notes, but I'm not
terribly surprised.)
4) Not sure exactly what you mean here. It is handwritten (in section 2),
but I'm not able to see any boxes around the ink unless I select it, and then
it is just 1 selection box.

Thanks,
Clark Kogan
