One Note should allow creation of tables, fix ink, & custom number

[GDB]

I tried copy and pasting a MS Word created table into One Note. Its
formatting was destroyed, so I checked One Note to recreate the table by hand
but there was no feature to create tables. This should be added immediately.

Other Lacking Features:
1) Paragraph alignment (Center, Right, Justified)
2) Ability to change default numbering (BIG ISSUE FOR ME - when I tell it to
make the second Level of the outline capital letters with periods, I want it
to stay that way throughout my document. And if I should change it for a
certain paragraph, It should revert to the customized default when a higher
level number has been incremented).
3) Ink is still deficient. When writing a lower case "i" after making the
initial line of the letter and adding the dot above, the handwriting recog.
software connects the dot of the "i" to the line below...very annoying.

Coming in the next version apparently:

Personally, I don't find this lacking. I just don't expect it in OneNote.

OneNote is a notetaking application, not a word processor (MS Word already
has paragraph alignment). It's not designed for precise formatting.

I think it's more important to be able to take, manipulate and share notes
quickly and easily, search them and use them to form, adapt, develop and
share ideas.

OneNote serves its purpose well for me as it is and the future looks bright
for the next version.

These actually are supported using the same KB shortcuts found in Word
(Ctrl-R, Ctrl-E, Ctrl-L). There aren't buttons for them by default on the
toolbars.

Thanks Erik.

Thanks - this ought to be added to office help online. It took me quite a
while to find it here. In my case I'd pasted from a web site and some
paragraphs were right justified, which was difficult to read.
