Changes to handwriting/inking behavior in OneNote 2007 0013 5/23/2007 11:11:00 PM Hi, I love OneNote and use inking heaviliy on my tablet. I eagerly bought the 2007 version and the first thing I noticed were a bunch of negative changes (negative from my perspective given the way I used OneNote 2003) to the behavior of the inking/handwriting functionallity. The following is the list of that I have noticed. Is there anyway to make these work the way they did in 2003? 1. I can't create handwritten lists anymore where OneNote automatically does the bulleting and/or numbering. I read a blog post about how to do this with handwritten bullets/numbers, but I can't figure out how to make OneNote automatically do this for me like it used to. 2. Where did the note containers go when I'm handwriting my notes? Can I get them back? I used to find this very useful because I was able to see and precicely control the word wraping and new lines. 3. How do you get OneNote 2007 to correctly recognize when you are continuing the previously written line on a new live vs. when you are starting a new paragraph on a seperate line? 4. When I press the selection button on my tablet pen (ThinkPad x41) it used to change to the text selection tool, but now it uses the lasso. Can I switch it back to use text selection instead? 5. I've been having a lot of problems with the automatic switching between pen and selection tool. It used to work really well, now it barely works at all and when it does, it switches incorrectly. Any ideas? Thanks,

Sounds like you want more text, less handwriting, in your work. The greater flexibility of handwriting in ON 2007 (approaching that of Journal, but not quite there) is one of the better aspects, from my own perspective. It appears you want text from handwriting, not handwriting itself, as the target for the page. For instance, if ON autonumbers a list, then you no longer have handwriting on the page. Then handwriting must conform to the spacing and layout of the autonumbering. This really does rule out any but the most stringent freeform notes on such a list. The containers again served to re-arrange handwriting at the most inopportune moment. Probably not an issue if you were happy being constrained by the 2003 writing mechanics, but anyone that fails to see the differences in preservation of handwritten content between use of the lasso and the text selection tool is clearly not interested in handwriting as the final medium. The statement about precisely controlling handwritten text through the use of containers leaves me mystified - in my view of things the pen should lay down the image, and it stays put until I lasso it or erase it - more closely modeling pen and paper (except for the lasso part, and more than once I have tried to move things on a whiteboard out of habit). Otherwise what you lay down with pen will NOT be what is on the page at a later date - things shifted bad in ON 2003, not quite as bad in ON 2007. ..02, FWIW
