ON 2007 not displaying web pages correctly.

[SaltySailor7ccc]

I have Windows Vista and Office 2007. Whenever I send a web page to One Note
2007, the rendition of the page is so scattered. Even the banner is sometimes
scattered over three or more lines. If I increase the page width, it does not
correct the problem. I have tried doing a massive use of the delete button to
remove spaces, cut and pasting, etc. I even sent the web page to Microsoft
Office 2007 Word to do the editing as it does not display accurately in Word
too. Then I save it in Word and print it to One Note and then it sometimes
doesn't display accurately. Anyone run across this problem or know how to fix
it?

AFAICS everybody has run across this problem.
And no one has a solution.
The problem result from the construction of Websites, their usage of
tables and programs/scripts.
ON just can not provide a way to execute all of the stuff used.

Only workaround I know: Using screen-captures and inserting the images
into ON.
ON's screen-capture is limited, however, in so far as it can not capture
more than what is presented on the screen. This is a serious obstacle
with sites needing to be scrolled.
A great tool to workaround this is *SnagIt* (which has to offer really
great features in addition, f.e. a big tool bag for commenting images of
all kind). With SnagIt one can take screen-shots of scrolling pages of
website and even of scrolling windows in applications - f.e. the long
list of software presented by "Add and remove software" (Control Panel).
I for one don't* know how to do without - the more as commenting images
in ON is hardly doable.

There's a 30-days fully functional demo, pls see here:

One thing I've found is that capturing an entire web page isn't always
necessary. Simply highlight the text you REALLY want to save, then
click the OneNote button on the IE toolbar. That sends JUST the
selected text to OneNote. If you have multiple items to save, repeat
the process, then move the captured text items onto one page. I've
found that to be handier than capturing an entire web page except in
rare instances or when I'm just in a real hurry.

If I =really= need the web page formatted the same as on screen, I
just print the page using the "Send to OneNote" print driver, which
creates a OneNote page with what a printout of the web page would look
like. The tradeoff is the lack of being able to manipulate the text
in the "printout." However, I usually only need to do that when I'm
capturing something like a receipt for an online purchase, for
example, or in my case sometimes a doctor's office visit summary or
test results from the Kaiser Permanente web site.
