Fill color on drawing shapes

[Stoo]

In OneNote 2007, is there a way of filling drawing shapes with color?
The drawing toolbar allows you to draw standard shapes and change the color
and weight of the border lines, but I cannot figure out how to change the
fill color.

I don't believe you can (other than manually).

What do you mean by "manually"?
How would this work?

Setting a pen color and scratching back and forth until the shape is totally
filled. Like Mrs. Buchanon, my 1st grade teacher said, "Don't color outside
the lines!"

Although there's no way of linking the colour to the shape.

If you move or resize the colour, the shape stays put and vice versa.

Yes, there's that. The ooooold song "No grouping in ON" {siiiigh}

IMO Ben's suggestion was a joke more or less anyway ;-)

Well, not a joke exactly, but clearly it's a kludgy workaround.

Well, seeing as you guys crop up no. 1 on a google for "onenote shapes fill"...


I used a 12mm 'highlighter' pen to color in the background behind some text, then found that I could use the lasso tool to select text and color, to drag and drop elsewhere in the page.

This worked even when I colored only one portion of the text within a note container on the page - onenote didn't drag the whole container, instead it grabbed the lasso'ed text only and then created a new container on the drop.

I'm sorry but do not understand *ANYTHING*

Obviously you jumped on an oooooooooold thread in some *forum* (not in
the NewsGroup itself).
And the result is a total chaos.

Pls start a new thread and ask in an understandable way.
