Ink moving itself after losing focus Michael R. Brown 2/3/2007 5:04:01 PM I use OneNote intensively as a medical student to diagram various things like nerve pathways and arteries. I have been using OneNote 2007 trial for more than a month now and am having some big issues with OneNote moving the inking in my drawings after I select another option (I'm assuming losing the focus on that inking). Usually this happens when I ink a part of a diagram and then go to select the lasso option so I can then move some of that inking. It will then shift my ink (usually down and to the right) a centimeter or so that I just added. The worst part of it all is that I cannot undo this as the last undo option is adding the ink that gets shifted. I cannot tell you how immensely frustrating this is as it has ruined several hours worth of work before (yes I do back up, but you still lose the last hours worth of stuff to go to the backup). I am hoping to get to the bottom of this or I am going to have to stop using OneNote because the time and fustration I am saving by using OneNote is being outweighed by this issue. Anyone else experiencing similar problems????

RE: Ink moving itself after losing focus Lin 2/5/2007 9:44:00 PM Can you send us the problem file? And if you have screenshots of before and after moves that'll be awesome. -Lin (MS) "Michael R.

RE: Ink moving itself after losing focus Alex <MS> 2/9/2007 12:40:01 AM Michael, when you say you are using the "Trial" version, is this the trial of the final version, or a beta? If Beta, the final version has fixes in it that address ink moving. I can't say that we got all of them, but it should be better. -Alex <MS> "Lin" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Can you send us the problem file?

RE: Ink moving itself after losing focus Michael R. Brown 2/11/2007 3:21:01 PM I don't know how you want me to send them to you so I just zipped two examples and put them here http://www.kristyandmichael.net/downloads/inkmoved.zip The first example is kind of a jumbled mess, but if you look at it you can see where the lines have shifted down (it should look like a bunch of branches on a tree). The second example is more recent (yesterday) . I noticed later in the afternoon that some text I had written that morning had shifted up. You have to scroll down to the area I highlighted with a green highlighter. Notice that only certain colors have moved up, whereas others have stayed put. You can also see places where I underlined key words and those underlines are now above all the words I underlined. Various things I have tried to stop this: Turned off switch auto between pen and selection tool. (So I can't accidentally move something) Disabled show note containers (they were getting in the way since I had so much inking and so many note containers). The right click button on my input pen is disabled. This is all being used on a Toshiba Satellite R10 with Windows XP Tablet Edition The problem is the shifts are so subtle that I don't notice them till later when I go back over my notes. My suspicions are that they occur when I add additional inking to sections above or below the section that gets shifted as I am reviewing my lectures and find key points I forgot to add to my summaries. Thanks for your help in this. -Michael Brown "Lin" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Can you send us the problem file?

RE: Ink moving itself after losing focus MTS 4/22/2007 6:38:02 PM Michael, I am experiencing the same movement of ink and subsequent frustration. If you found a solution, please let me know. (I posted a similar question today 4-22-07 - search for "keep notes stable" and you can respond to this question or your question). To no avail, I have searched for settings in ON that will allow only one container and, also to no avail, have perused the ON discussion group for any solution. Also, I posted here a month or so ago, and to my knowledge, have received no answer. Thanks for any help. Mike Stewart PS If any MS staffer can help we'd appreciate it. "Michael R.
