Printing from OneNote is flawed ShaneUK20 3/29/2007 3:54:06 PM Hi Having read the posts about printing documents from OneNote I would like to register my vote that you need to be able to add in Page Breaks. As an IT engineer I use OneNote to keep instructions on how to do things that I only do occasionally. If I have to print them for somebody else to use they are rubbish unless I copy them into Word first and add in page breaks before printing. Please can you add it to the list of improvements requested in the next patch. Many thanks. Shane

Then it is a matter of inserting space to stop things from segmenting, etc. The settings will vary depending on you printer, screen, etc. Trial and error can verify. A pain, yes but for me easier than putting it into word first. Plus once I space a document it stays "print friendly", if you will. Of course you can always set the paper size from "auto" to a fixed size. Doesn't flow as well, especially for handwriting, but is more print friendly. BTW, if you google for this you will find many discussions - it is a well-known issue with OneNote. And to its defense composition for printing is not what the program's focus was intended. Still, the need does arise.

Re: Printing from OneNote is flawed Steve Silverwood <kb6ojs[ at ]arrl.net> 5/18/2007 5:54:45 AM Kathy: There's also a cool tool called FinePrint, which works great for "pre-printing" a document. I use it as my default printer, so any time I print I get a view of what it's going to look like before I send it to the printer. If I want a PDF, I also have the companion product FinePrint pdf Factory, which lets me just click a button on the FinePrint display and send the output direct to a PDF file. See www.fineprint.com for details and to download evaluation versions. //Steve// On Thu, 29 Mar 2007 10:01:00 -0700, "Kathy Jacobs" <call_kathy[ at ]knot.cox.net> wrote: [Quoted Text] >I have also found that sending the pages to PDF allows me to quickly see >what is going to be printed so that I can make the same kinds of >adjustments. > >OneNote team: That does NOT mean I think printing is anywhere near fixed and >you know it!
