Having far too much fun with OneNote for about a minute today

Today I had to test a feature we have in OneNote that I don't to use all that much - the ability move outlines around the page with a keyboard. I even made a little movie of the screen capture and am using this as a test to see if I can get video embedded on this blog as much as it is about testing.

 

To get this to work you just right click on the gray bar at the top of the outline and select "Move."  Then the arrow keys move the outline around.

 

I was doing this today and just caught myself moving the outline around for some reason - it was just fun to watch, I suppose.  Anyway,here is what it looked like:

I really had to crank down the video quality of the capture to get it to upload - let me keep working on this :)  Not much to it, really.  But eagle eyed readers will notice we move the mouse cursor around with the outline and long term readers will remember I mentioned once that holding down the SHIFT  (edit) CTRL key while moving the outline moves it one pixel at a time.

 

Oh, and the bug I was trying to track down would not happen again, so there was no bug at all.  Took about a minute or so, but it sure was a blast in such a funny little way.

 

Questions, comments, concerns and criticisms always welcome,

  Obviously, I do not have the video embedded correctly...
