Sending a Web Page

[PT]

When I send a web page to ON 2007, the result has all the data on the web
page. But the ON page is narrower than the web page. So, for example, a
web page laid out as three columns of text, ends up in ON as two columns.
This can seriously misalign the result.

I tried widening the ON margins, by elimination the left and right listings
of page names and notebooks, but it's not enough. Is there a buried option
to handle this?

OneNote cannot guarantee WYSIWYG when sending/pasting from the Web browsers.
HTML allows for very rich layout options and we have to interpret them the
best we can when importing into OneNote. We also try to reflow the content to
stay within default outline width (which is about 6 inches).

The Send To OneNote addin in IE works for selection as well as page overall,
so you can avoid sending unnecessary pieces from the site, such as navigation
or adds frames. Then you could resize the pasted content, both containing
outline and column widths in tables (to see table borders select everything
and goto <Tables | Show borders>

If none of the above helps, I'd advice using screen clipping and then rely
on OCR to find the clippings in OneNote.

I've found it better to use the print function and "print to OneNote" when
attempting to move a webpage to ON.

How do you then control the ON page which gets the printing?

SC shared these words of wisdom:

I've found it better to use the print function and "print to
OneNote" when attempting to move a webpage to ON.

But this will result in images and the stuff is not editable.

A serious dawback IMHO.
So I prefer to edit the HTML manually.
