OneNote should have drawing tools.

[Callista21]

When taking notes, I keep finding myself wishing for the drawing toolbar
(like in Word) so I can do things like draw straight lines and fill colors.
Even a simplified drawing toolbar would be great (i.e. no need for all the
autoshapes).

Yes, that's a very popular feature request. Hopefully we'll see something
like that in an upcoming version.

I still agree with Callista - for those of us who use ON without a tablet PC
or Wacom, simple drawing tools would be an excellent addition - it's very
hard to circle anything with a built-in laptop mouse.

What about OneNote Mobile? I think it definitely needs a drawing tool. I
guess that when they built ON Mobile they are thinking about using it on a
mobile phone. However, PocketPC have touch screen!!

Hello Hypernova,

OneNote Mobile was designed for SmartPhones and it was only very late in
the game that support for PPC (with Windows Mobile 5 only!) was added. No
time to get ink support added for this version.
