Printing Notes without titles

[Alan Carr]

I'm trying to use OneNote for my engineering homework. I scanned a sheet of
engineering paper and used it as the background but when i try to print it i
cant get rid of the title and get the page to print full size. Can I use
OneNote for this, or is there a better program to do this with?

If you are using OneNote 2003, you can put the title information on a
separate page and then print. To do this, go to Print preview and check
Print Title on separate page (I'm guessing on the title of that box, I don't
have it in front of me at the moment).

If you are using OneNote 2007, bring up the Page Setup task pane and uncheck
"Show Page Title".

thanks so far...
Im using OneNote 2003, and that works to get rid of the title, but I cant
seem to get the note page that I scanned in, to fill up the entire printed
page. if i check the box to have it print full size it puts it on two pages.
Also is there a way to get the background picture to not print?

Are you looking to do anything with these scanned notes other than print
them out again? I'm not trying to be a smartypants, but are you looking
for a copy machine?

To make a scanned picture keep its size when on a ON page, go to Tools |
Options | Editing and change the "Size Document pictures at this percent
of original document" setting to 100%. That should keep the scanned
images at the original size. In File | Print Preview, uncheck "Scale
Content to paper width" which should also reduce some of the cleanup ON
tries to do when printing.

Let us know if these don't work...

It sounds as if you have a tablet PC and are doing your homework by
writing on the screen and you want that engineering grid as the
background for what you write. If you are just typing on top of an
engineering grid then I don't see the point.

I use Journal for what you are doing. I just use the grid that is
available in the program. You can even set the exact spacing of the grid.
But you can't highlight every tenth line like on engineering paper and it
doesn't have the same kind of title area as engineering paper. If you
must have the engineering grid then you can just print a bunch of copies
of your scanned in grid to the "Journal Note Writer" printer to create a
journal document with a bunch of empty grid pages. It will actually be a
page with the image of the engineering grid as a background image. But it
will print the correct size every time. OneNote does not do a good job of
allowing you to control the size of your printouts.

Journal is only available on Tablet PCs.

 

[Alan Carr]

yes, i have actually ended up using journal because i can have it print out
full size onto the engineering paper, and keep everything where its supposed
to be.

what ive been trying to do all along, im sorry if i was not clear before,
was do my homework on my tablet pc, and then be able to print it onto
engineering paper to turn in for those proffesssors who expect paper copies.

the print controls in one note are pretty horrible. but the one thing that
one note does well that journal doesnt have at all, is being able to paste in
graphics. its nice to be able to just copy a chart from excel in.

it would be nice if they could merge the features of journal and onenote
into a single program.

I paste graphics into Journal all the time. Whuduya talkin about? I even
just now copied some cells from Excel and pasted them into Journal. They
paste as nothing more than a picture of the cells but they paste.

it would be nice if they could merge the features of journal and onenote
into a single program.

Yeah, people have been begging for this since about the second day after
OneNote was first released. Don't know why they didn't do it for ON 07.

Aloha Grant,

They did merge some of the features (like lasso) but weren't able to get
to all of them. There are some pretty significant changes in OneNote 2007
(internal hyperlinks, totally new search engine...) and the OneNote dev team
is not very big.

ok, ive been able to paste in cells from excel, and pictures, but for some
reason journal wont paste in charts. does that work for anyone else? what
could be the problem?

Probably something to do with the way Excel puts the data in the
clipboard. I know nothing about creating charts in Excel so I am not
going to test it for you here. You could always just zoom in as far as
possible and then take a screen clipping of your chart.
