Viewing Shared-Session in full screen mode?

[cfman]

Hi all,

We are using MS OneNote 2003's shared-session feature to discuss ideas over
the Internet with my co-workers.

However the OneNote GUI has so many bells and bristles and the
shared-session/whiteboard itself only occupies about 6/10 of the screen.

Is there a way to view and draw on this shared-session/whiteboard in a
full-screen mode? Ideally, the whiteboard should occupy 95% of the full
screen and leave the remaining 5% of the screen for pen styles, buttons, and
page-scroll buttons.

The current client area of the whiteboard is really too small.

We are having trouble drawing freely, limited by the space.

Aloha cfman,

OneNote 2007 has a better "full screen" mode that minimizes the UI to give
you maximum screen space. It also does a better job with shared sessions.

Aloha Ben,

But I really want to get my OneNote 2003 full screen mode. I have to use it
for work. I cannot rely on a product that was delayed and delayed and nobody
knows when it comes out. I cannot tell my co-worker and boss to wait for
2007, right?

Anybody, please help!

Office 2007 has a bit of a better track record with those delays than
Vista
You could upgrade your co-worker and boss to the beta as well. If you
test it in your configuration first and determine that it is stable for
you, back up your 2003 files, then you might want to give it a shot on
those other two machines.

I really want my Jeep Grand Cherokee to get 35 miles per gallon but the reality
is that the product just won't do that. However the Ford Escape Hybrid will,
so shortly I'll be getting one of those.

Moral of the story...if you want the features of OneNote 2007 you'll need
to get OneNote 2007. Beta 2 is available now, the full version should be
available for retail by January.

If you don't want to use OneNote 2007, then you'll probably need to look
at something else, like NetMeeting.
