OneNote 2007 Insert Document/Send to OneNote Page

[jsprague]

As a grad student with extensive electronic notes, I would really love for ON
2007 to retain the feature found in ON 2003 that allowed documents sent to
OneNote to have their separate pages placed on separate pages/subpages in my
notebook on insertion. It is particularly difficult to take notes on,
review, and then study so many pages when they are all strung out in one
looong page in my notebook. Printing gets a little weird, too.
It also limits my desired organization...
I'd really rather not print hundreds of pages out separately or cut and
paste document pages onto separate pages in order to be able to effectively
view my notes. In fact, any person who has somewhat long documents on which
they'd like to take organized/tabbed/labeled notes might appreciate this
feature! I think that, although they have not be in the past, electronic
notes will be an emerging and important component of colleges and Microsoft
might look forward to the potential increase in usage of the feature overall.

Please answer whether or not you agree with this suggestion! Thanks for
taking the time to read my long plea.

You should file this suggestion as feedback on connect.microsoft.com.
There is a special OneNote 2007 Beta connection on there that you need
to sign up for. Search the existing feedback first though, as someone
might have already filed this. If someone did, you can vote for the
feature there. If no one did, post the link to the connect feedback here
so that other users can find it easily and vote on it.
As a sidenote: I don't think you'll see this feature in OneNote 2007, as
the team isn't adding any new features anymore right now. However, some
3rd party might program an add-in that does exactly this.

I'm fully with you.

We won't see anything like this in the coming version.
But IMO for future versions it would need quite some re-thinking on
the basic concepts of dividing pages into sections in order to provide
better ways for the handling of longer documents.
I could think of quite some different patterns - not necessarily and
not preferably - subpages (in the present form). It might be better to
just add *pagebreaks* and pagenumbers going together with additional
navigation in a long documents (pages) - f.e. like navigation in the
Acrobat Reader or other e-Books readers.

Due to ON really falling short in so far I have given up the idea of
collecting larger documents by printing/importing into ON.
Although I would have really loved the possibility to keep papers
together with other related stuff, this turned out not be a really
workable solution with ON's instruments.

So I will keep on putting everything that has more than only a few
pages into PDFs and - having learnt from ON - (a) keep them in Acrobat
binders and (b) buy PDF annotator for ink annotations (working ways
better in so far as the annotations do not float around as in ON).

Pls do as Patrick suggested. File a suggestion in Connect. And let us
know by posting a link. I will then for sure jump on your wagon ;-)

Thanks for bringing up this serious issue
