Changing the default OneNote template bball2 10/5/2008 5:46:00 PM Is there a way that I can change the default OneNote template? (the white ruled one with a date and time stamp)? I basically want a different template to show up every time I create a new section and not have to set a default template for every section. I found the BLANK.ONE file in the OneNote Stationary folder and changed the first page (Blank - default), except it still doesn't change the default template. If I apply the template from the template bar (Blank -> Default) I get the one I want, but if I create a new section, or go new -> blank template, I still get the old one. :-(

RE: Changing the default OneNote template SubSeaGuy 10/7/2008 12:10:45 AM To change the default template: 1. Open or create the page you want to be the new default 2. Place the page in the notebook section where you want it to be the default. 3. With the page open (the one to be the new default) Open "File/Page Setup" 4. In the "Page Setup" panel on the right, look towards the bottom and select "Save current page as a template" 5. Give the template a name 6. Check the box "Set as default template...." 7. When you create a new section, copy the original template and start at 4. There may be a way to change it globally but I don't know how. Maybe one of the MS pros can address that.

That's the step we're trying to avoid :-) In ON2007, there seems to be no way of setting a default template for an entire Notebook. It has to be done section by section. It's a real pain unless you use a Powertoy such as http://blogs.msdn.com/johnguin/archive/2007/12/13/template-manager-powertoy-for-onenote-2007.aspx which does not use OneNote's internal template system (not that there's anything wrong with that). -- Regards John Waller

Re: Changing the default OneNote template bball2 10/7/2008 2:26:00 PM Yup exactly! It gets a bit annoying when you are working with tons of sections in your notebooks.

As we are too :-) For us, Teachers = Notebooks Students = Sections Lessons = Pages We have new students almost daily (private singing school) which means new sections and new templates every time. -- Regards John Waller
