Rule-lines & Outline formatting elizondojavier[ at ]gmail.com 4/6/2007 6:34:42 PM I'm a user of EccoPro migrating to OneNote2007. Until now, I haven't found a suitable program to organize my information in the way that I could with EccoPro. Ecco is a program which has a lot of loyal followers because it's design allows for much versatility on how you organize information. It's latest release dates back to 1997. The purpose of this mail is to request the development team to consider new ways of handling the rule-lines on any note. Now, the rule-line capability of ON is blind as to what information is contained in the note. In Ecco, the rule-lines are deliberately made one-line or several-lines by the user when entering the "item" (single piece of information entered). It would also be desirable to have outline formatting available for the formatting of a specific level of nested entries.

Re: Rule-lines & Outline formatting "Ben M. Schorr, MVP" <bens[ at ]bogusaddress.mvp> 4/7/2007 4:43:58 AM I agree with the suggestion about Outline formatting (within some parameters) but the rule line issue would be a rather substantial change in how the rule lines are handled, I think. Right now they are nothing more than ink guides to help better write on the page. You're asking that they be made a somewhat active part of the page content. I do agree with folks who want the option to have them print; but I don't think I want the lines to change based upon content -- otherwise they lose their utility for those of us using them for ink. -- -Ben- Ben M.

Re: Rule-lines & Outline formatting "EMRhelp.org" <EMRhelp.org[ at ]gmail.com> 4/9/2007 1:41:36 AM I agree with Ben that the impact of having to entirely change OneNote just to make the lines print as they are on the screen is really not that important. I would love to hear the exact reason you want the lines to print. What are you using OneNote for ? A fundamental question is ...Q: why does paper have lines ? Why does lined paper exist ? The reason I'm sure was to make it easy to write in a straight line. OneNote accomplishes that, with it's on-screen lines. They key here is DONT print the lines. It might take a wee bit of getting used to no lines, but it's probably best thought of as progress not regression. The reader doesn't need the lines ! IMO. If you really want lines that "line up" with text, just insert your own background with lines and ink on TOP of those lines.

Re: Rule-lines & Outline formatting "EMRhelp.org" <EMRhelp.org[ at ]gmail.com> 4/9/2007 1:57:59 AM I can't seem to print Ruled Lines in OneNote 2007. I thought I could in OneNote 2003.

Re: Rule-lines & Outline formatting "Ben M. Schorr, MVP" <bens[ at ]bogusaddress.mvp> 4/9/2007 4:48:57 PM Nope, the lines never printed. (But I'd like to see that option added to a future version) -- -Ben- Ben M.
