highlighter "exciter" <t24680[ at ]hotmail.com> 4/8/2007 2:30:52 PM When one wants to highlight a word, you mark the word with the mouse and one can hardly make a straight highlight. And the results looks ugly. Maybe ON should restrict any deviant drawing and automatically make the highlight straight. Sounds logical to me. I use ON2003

Re: highlighter "exciter" <t24680[ at ]hotmail.com> 4/8/2007 2:33:53 PM Sorry, please read "highlighter" as "pen thick drawing". So I would like to see pen drawing automatically corrected for a straight drawing.

Re: highlighter "Ben M. Schorr, MVP" <bens[ at ]bogusaddress.mvp> 4/8/2007 11:26:38 PM Use the drawing tools - that's why they're there.

Re: highlighter "Ben M.

Re: highlighter "Ben M. Schorr, MVP" <bens[ at ]bogusaddress.mvp> 4/10/2007 7:14:06 PM They're not going to add a significant new feature to an outdated product. That would be a waste of resources. The OneNote team is fully engaged on OneNote 14 at present. How many features would you like them to not put in the next version so that they can add drawing tools to an old version? :-) -- -Ben- Ben M.

Way too early to know. :) I haven't heard anything to make me think it won't support it so far. -- -Ben- Ben M. Schorr, MVP Roland Schorr & Tower http://www.rolandschorr.com
