wishl item: advanced pasting
"exciter" <t24680[ at ]hotmail.com> 4/25/2007 10:53:22 AM

Suppose I have two sections.
In one section, I would like to set the paste option to "keep source format"
In the section, I would like to set the paste option to "match destination
formating".

I would like to set this preference once and would like to see it unchanged
onwards.

Is this possible in ON2003?
If not, maybe this is a good request for new version

OneNote 2003 and 2007 do not support this. Why would you like this
feature to be added to OneNote? What scenarios would it address/make
easier for you?

Actually, there are several scenarios that this would be useful.
1. Updating a report page with information from a research site. This one
would be useful to match destination format so the table doesn't get shifted
out of proportion.
2. Bringing in information from another report or application to a page or
section. Here it would be useful to sometimes have the original formatting.

The list goes on but I agree, this would be a useful feature.

What I would find more useful would be a way to set paste options based
on where the content came from. I would like to ALWAYS use "Keep source
formatting" when pasting from another part of OneNote. But I would like
to mostly always use "Match destination formatting" when I paste from the
web so that I don't get those huge fonts but I still get the citation.
And I would like to almost always use "Paste as picture" when pasting
from Journal. Naturally, I would still like the paste options button to
appear, but having these automatic paste defaults would save me a lot of
time and trouble.
