OneNote, add a 'basic shapes' tool bar; lines, box's, circles, cl.

[Todd Bethell]

Can OneNote draw a straight line or any shape for that matter. I know it was
created for a tablet computer but I am using it on my laptop.

 

[Erik Sojka]

That feature doesn't exist in the current version.

Fred Zimmerman has a OneNote file which contains some basic shapes:

These shapes aren't as configurable as those found in the other Office
programs (a limitation of OneNote, not of Fred's work) but may help in some
notetaking.

Drawing a line should not be considered a "feature" for goodness sake. Even
if your useing a PAD.... it might be nice for it to look neat sometimes,
otherwise call it OneSRCIBBLE ;-)

 

[Erik Sojka (MVP)]

You *can* draw lines using the mouse/external digitizer pen on a PC or
using the Pen on a Tablet. All as if you were working on paper.

Were you looking for a WordArt/OLE kind of thing or just "draw a line
with a pen-like-thingie"?

 

[Richard]

Missing the point Onescribble is what you get, need to be able to like place
lines to grapicaly organize sheet, even in Outlook you can insert a
horizontal line. I think that hor and ver lines would be nice boxes to set
notes apart and circles to zero in on points like that were clipped from
webpages.

No excuses just finish the app ;-)
