Page length and size

[fogbank]

Hi. I'm a newbie with 2 questions that baffle me and have not found answers
elsewhere.

1) Many of the OneNote templates (for example Blue Stripe Title) if I select
"Letter" paper size and ask for a "Print Preview" it will show it split into
2 printed pages if the "Scale Content to paper width" is not checked. I've
specified 8.5 x 11" paper and very small margins, but it still will split it
into 2 pages because of the width of the title itself. What am I doing wrong
-- if I don't want to scale the content?

2) When I cut and paste text about 12" long from Word into OneNote, I will
run out of paper, so to speak. That is, the OneNote page (let's say is titled
"Good Question") will show text spilling into a dark gray area below. If I do
a print preview, it will show that 2 pages will be printed.

How can I extend the "Good Question" page to be more than one 8.5 x 11"
sheet -- and be editable? Or do I have to add a completely new 2nd page
"Good Question 2" and split my cut and paste Word text into 2 separate
OneNote pages?

I hope the above was clear. Thank you for your help.

Just a rather radical approach on my side:
I never ever use ON's page size features.
I just use endless pages.

Thank you. I apologize for being so late in a response. (I was not able to
use a PC for weeks now.)

By "endless page" -- do you mean in "Page Setup" you specify the paper size
as "auto"? That does seem to do the trick for me.

I've got much to learn.

Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I was referring to just use "auto" for the paper size.
Honestly speaking, I do not see any reason fro specifying any pages
size.

I've got much to learn.

We all do. No matter how "expert" we are with OneNote (or anything
else), there's always some nugget of information out there that opens
up entirely new doors for us. That's why I so dearly love
publicly-accessible newsgroups like this. I'm ALWAYS learning
something new every time I open up my news-reader.

(And FYI, I've been involved in providing online support in one form
or another since 1984, back my early days at Ashton-Tate when
CompuServe Forums were king and nobody outside the academic community
ever HEARD of "newsgroups" or Usenet or anything like them.)
