Can't read page list panel on Onenote!

Can't read page list panel on Onenote!

Onenote for Windows 10 used to be my second favorite app. Since it is now deprecated (made read only), I need to use Onenote desktop, which has a lot of limitations, at least as to math – latex capabilities.  Now one more headache has popped up which  makes onenote desktop  practically useless.  As shown in the attached image, I can see only the first character of the page list, I cannot expand it! I consulted copilot for a couple of hours, nothing worked.  Copilot finally said I should uninstall and then re-install onenote. The problem persisted.  Copilot suggested I uninstall and then reinstall office 365.  The problem persisted.  I finally asked Copilot to provide me the phone number to Technical assistance where I could talk to a human being.  Copilot provided a phone number with a small script as to what I should tell the technician. I called the number, a robot ask me to describe the problem, I basically read the script, and then I was given links to web pages where different onenote problems were discussed!

 

Help! I need onenote!

·        Can anyone make any suggestions as to how to be able to make onenote normal, i.e. allowing me to be able to read the page listing panel?

·        Can anyone give me a phone number to Microsoft support where I can talk to a human being?

Problems with subtotals with filtered data, works only sometimes.

Hi hope someone can help with my excel subtotals questions.  I use excel 365. I took great pains to scrape a table from the web.  It has about 450 rows and 15 columns.  I used slicers and column headings to filter the data so that I can see patterns.  Subtotal works inconsistently. If I use the formula:

=SUBTOTAL(101,[MDIST])

I get a correct answer ( the mean distance of the orbital distances of a selected planet’s moon).  Note [MDIST] is the name of the header.   However if I try to get the minimum distance of a selected planet’s moons, the following does not work:

=SUBTOTAL(105,[MDIST])

This renders the minimum distance of all the moons, given all the planets. In other words structured references work for average, but not for minimum.   If I manually select the [MDIST] column and type =SUBTOTAL(105,E9:E428), I get the correct answer.  This is annoying because I have to manually select distance (and other columns I have not mentioned) each time I select a different planet or dwarf planet.  Is there a way to automate this process?

Second question:  Is there a way to freeze the column headers as I scroll deep down in my database?
