RE: Seeing where a new paragraph begins
I do use OneNote in this 'Alt-Tab' way to make notes on information in some
other application. I also use it to jot down notes from a meeting or a
conversation. The cursor does retain its position when I Alt-Tab away and
back (I think it would be very disconcerting if it did not).
But the problem remains how to quickly start a new 'frame' or paragraph or
container or whatever they are called; I can certainly do it with a couple of
down-arrows and a left-arrow or Home key; and I can do it with the mouse but
it just seems to slow me down, and often leaves more white space between the
'frames' than I want.
