Please add Greek font

[pstephe1]

I'm an electrical engineering student and the vast majority of equations are
Greek letters.

I am unable to convert any of the equations to text (two issues 1: no
equation editor installed, and 2: the lack of Greek font).

Unless I totally missed #2 (I just got my tablet PC today - and only been
using onenote for a 3 days).

With that being said - overall -> onenote rocks. Please add the two above
items!

Oops - forgot to add this in...

Regarding mathematical operators - can the partial derivative symbol be
added? It was missing in Office 2000 and would be good to have.

At present, equations seem to be the poor part of ON. Various
suggestions as a workaround have been made with the best seem to be to
use Word to generate your equation in Equation Editor, then copy paste
into ON.

Good idea - I didn't think of that. Only problem is partial derivative symbol
is still non-existant.

You might want to look into MathType (http://www.mathtype.com), which is
Equation Editor's big brother.

In OneNote, click "insert..symbol" and look for the Symbol font in the
font box at the top of the dialog box. There are Greek letters in the
Symbol font. I think I even found a partial derivative symbol in there
somewhere.

Equation editor is included with Word. If it wasn't installed during
setup then you can go back to the CDs and set it up. I'm assuming you
have Word, since I don't see how a student will be able to function
without it. Unless you're writing all your papers in TeX.

Of course OneNote's inability to directly use Equation Editor has
already been noted.

If you've tried equation editor and found it lacking, then you might
heed the popups it spawns from time to time recommending that you
upgrade to MathType, a product of Design Science. Microsoft licensed
Equation Editor from Design Science. MathType is a little pricey, but
there is an academic version. I haven't tried it myself, but there is
a 30 day trial.

While you're at the Design Science web site, take advantage of the
free download for MathPlayer, which allows Internet Explorer to
display web pages with MathML embedded. I see that OneNote doesn't
support MathML either, even with MathPlayer installed. (Or maybe
MathPlayer doesn't support OneNote.) You can successfully print MathML
pages to OneNote with the OneNote printer tool that's available.

Thank you SO very much Bob!

Now I can setup the entire equations as a characters (instead of half hand
written and half text). <- Which by the way sucks when you add more space
above it - as each is considered a separate piece and not all the items move
together!
