Hi Sandra,

If you want the notebook lines and fake spiral binding to print out, no,
I don't think it's possible. If you mean something else, be more
specific, please--it's not totally clear what you mean.

You could do a screen capture and print it as a graphic. I don't see why
that wouldn't work. You'd have to do one for each page, however.

By the way, I'm not really clear on what the Notebook View is intended
to do -- especially if you can't print it.

You can print the text fine.

I think it's more along the lines of a custom workspace designed for
certain functions, and the background notebook graphics are just
psychological and to signal that it's designed differently. It can
record audio, which the other views can't do. I don't use it a lot
myself, but I think it's easier to do hierarchical notes in--it
automatically applies bullets everywhere, you can collapse topics (which
I just noticed), supposedly you can create checkboxes to check off a
list (seen demonstrated, can't find myself).... In that way, it's
partially a step toward the notion of separate Words for separate needs
rather than trying to make a single Word one unwieldy all things to all
people.

Most people seem to be using it to take notes in class, with a tab for
each day or week, and except for reports of corruption, it seems pretty
nicely designed for that function.

Me, I can take organized hierarchical notes by applying heading styles,
but Notebook View gives you similar nicely browsable results without
having to learn anything about styles--and adds the benefits of audio,
and checkboxes. Also, I'm guessing it's easier to code those features if
they are somewhat separated from the rest of Word.

Makes sense.

You will need to have the Formatting Palette open to do that (Note Flags
section).

Why, thank you! Because of course I *hate* the formatting palette, and
therefore keep it closed.

The best way to get the lines would be try buy some three ring
Notebook paper like kids use in school.


Why you would have a Notebook view and not be able to print the lines is
beyond me anyway. what's the point.

You could basically almost do the same thing on standard printer paper
by setting by setting Line spacing to either 1-/2 or double space. You'd
get the exact same effect. :)

Ahhh! I long for the day when you had the menu bar system of
Word6(Word95) best design Word ever had. I know it was ugly looking but
you could put anything and everything on it and remove anything and
everything you didn't want. Format Painter just made a return to 2008
all the way from Word 6. (was called different then but was there)
