Hello all.

I am using OneNote 2007 at home for personal use. Unfortunately
OneNote tags appear to be oriented toward business uses only: Lots of
tage like Client Request, Project 1, Project 2, Schedule Meeting,
Discuss with Manager, etc.

I have lots of notes that are related to my PC usage, medical,
shopping, sports, etc. The kinds of categories that you would not
normally see at work.

I can rename existing tags and I can also create new tags (read:
categories). However the icons that I can select are not really
amenable to these categories. Of course I can use what is there and
just get creative in a weird sort of way: Use a Cloud icon for my
Medical category and that sort of thing, but the beauty of tags are
that the icon is usually instantly recognizable as a symbol that lets
you know at a glance what category it represents!

I already have literally thousands of icons available to me to add to
OneNote, but I cannot find where they should be added. For that
matter, I cannot even find where the existing icons are stored --
which leads me to believe that they are packed away in a small
database somewhere in the Program Files folder.

Does anyone here know how I can add my icons to the OneNote 2007
category icon store?

Thanks!

I had the same wish as yours. Needed to make some tags and assign some custom
icons which i got off the net. Currently they dont seem to have that option
