Printing from PowerPoint to OneNote 2007

[jvaldivia02]

Hi Guys I have a question: I just downloaded the beta version of
OneNote 2007, and I need to know something about printing and viewing
the PowerPoint files in OneNote, especially when I print the PowerPoint
files in Note Pages form instead of Handouts. Everything looks fine
when I import the PowerPoint files to OneNote, however when I press
Page up or Page down it doesn't exactly go to the next page but instead
it goes to the middle or maybe less of the second page. I've tried
different zooms but they don't seem to work, after a while of flipping
and pressing Page down and up it just messes up again. I've tried this
in Go Binder and it works well for this. I think Acrobat reader has the
"Fit page" button, that is what I am looking for in OneNOte 2007, any
suggestions....The reason I ask this, is because as many of you know in
school sometimes they give you lecture PowerPoints with 100 plus slides
on it and I need a way to flip quickly through them without having to
adjust the zoom or the placement of the slide by pressing the up an
down arrows every time I flip. Any suggestions would be awesome, Thank
you

The Page Up and Page Down buttons in OneNote just scroll the page by the
amount of page visible in the window. Unfortunately, OneNote is not aware of
the slide boundaries.
One thing you could do is print the PowerPoint slides to a smaller paper
size, and then resize the OneNote window so that about one slide fits visibly
on the page, and then use Page Up, Page Down. It won't be exact though.

Thank you very much for answering Olya, I think OneNote 2007 is great.
Last year I used OneNote2003. And in this new version I love the
search features (mayor new power feature), however the flipping through
the slides (printed in Note pages form) fast and accurately is
important to me since I am in medical school and the amount of material
(Powerpoints mostly) is overwhelming at times. Thank you for the reply
though

Yes. Naturally but a really sad outcome.

As belabered in quite some other threads (not yet in Connect, however
[siiiigh]) IMHO the concept of OneNote lacks of a decisive feature:
In addition to pages an subpages the possibility of defining
*pagebreaks* inside the pages would urgently be needed. Such
pagebreaks would have to be
a) manually set by the user (from the menu, the toolbar and with a
shortcut key),
b) as a default (user customizable option),
c) automatically when printing into ON (according to the paper size
chosen in the printer dialog).

This would not only be needed for viewing (PageUp and PageDown working
on these pagebreaks) but even more for *printing*.
At present printing pages with material which has been imported
(PowerPoint slide shows as a major example, PDF documents as another
one) results in a real mess.

One thing you could do is print the PowerPoint slides to a smaller
paper size, and then resize the OneNote window so that about one
slide fits visibly on the page, and then use Page Up, Page Down. It
won't be exact though.

Hardly usable as workaround - at least for presentations with more
than just a few slides:
Each image has been resized individually <!!>. And only too often one
will not drag the image to size 100% matching the wanted size
throughout.

Rainald, I agree with you. I can't believe I forgot about the printing.
That feature needs to be fixed too. Hopefully, the OneNote team will hear us
and include those features in their final release.

If it's not in B2TR, then it won't be in the final release.

Patrick, have you tried the B2TR yet? I know they have improved on some
things for Office in general, but more especifically what new features for
OneNote has the OneNote team included in the B2TR? Any luck with the "FIT
Page" feature? The reason I ask is because I uninstalled Office 2007 since
printing from PP 2007 to GoBinder or OneNote was SOOO Slow, and I wasn't sure
if I wanted to use it just yet.

We won't see the suugested things in the ON 2007.
Would just mean a change of the basic concept.
And it's simply too late for that.

But as they are already collecting suggestion for the next version (ON
13) IMO it would be good to see sugestions posted for that in Connect
already now.

I have B2TR, but I haven't looked hard and long yet to figure out all
the new stuff. I am sure there will be blog posts in the upcoming days
detailing all the differences.

Reinald, sorry to bother you again, but I guess I am not up with some of the
lingo. What is IMO and IMHO? I have seen those several times in the forum,
and where do we find the "Connect" website or forum, that you are talking
about to input our suggestions for the next OneNote.

 

[Patrick Schmid]

IMO = in my opinion
IMHO = in my honest opinion
Connect is connect.microsoft.com. There is OneNote connection you can
sign up for and then submit feedback (bug reports, suggestions).

Actually, it's "In my humble opinion" -- or at least it has been for
years. But that's just MHO.
