I would like to print off some pages from my notebook. How can I
control where the page breaks will occur, so that I can get a well
formatted printed document?

The answer unfortunately is: No are are no options for the layout.
One is bound to either have things printed at random or choose the page
layout for a fixed page size.
However, the latter will destroy one of the best things in ON, the
flexibility of endless paper.

Although this issue has been discussed over and over there will ne no
change in ON2010.

You really can't with any consistency. There are no hard page breaks
that one can insert. You can use trial and error to manually insert spaces
and continually compare the Print Preview. Keep in mind that ON isn't
designed to create well-formatted output like a word processor or desktop
publishing program.

That works against some of the recommendations I've seen for using
OneNote as a teacher. I can plan my lessons, quizzes, homework,
worksheets in ON, but it is very difficult to produce something that can
be printed and handed out to students. So I'll need to produce word
documents and insert into ON, but then I can't take advantage of adding
tablet input on the documents. ON allows me to insert/create drawings
and text with my tablet, but I don't think Word does.

Hi, Doug. I just tried an experiment with one long OneNote page.

I tried several different ways, but the one I was able to get to work was to
navigate to the OneNote page I wanted to print out, select Save As, then
save as a .pdf.

One Note exported to the .pdf format and separated the page into two pages.
It even put a footnote at the bottom of page 1 with the name of the OneNote
page. You might try to experiment with this to see if you can get the pages
to come out suitable for handouts. Use the OneNote feature that allows you
to add space between stuff on the page if you find that you need to tweak
it.
