Re: Sections Vs. Folders

[alphabetgirl]

It seems to me that in the new OneNote (2009) that the names are different.
They are easier to conceptualize. I think that "folders" are now "Section
Groups".
When I look in Documents > OneNote notebooks, I see my Section Group names
listed.

Is this true? Thanks.

Sad to see that you jumped in a really oooooold thread (no idea where
you did dig this out)
"New" would mean ON2010, there was no ON2009, only ON2007. It seems that
you are having the latter in mind

I cannot say if there was the naming "folders" in the old 2003 version
as I only used it a week or so and immediately moved to the 2007 Beta.
In ON2007 and ON2010 there's

"Notebooks" and "Sections" as the basics.
One can create "Section Groups" in addition as a level between.
And "Section Groups" can be "nested", i.e.: one can create additional
"Section Groups" inside a "Section Group".
