Setting the "set as background" as a default when printing

[A confused student]

Hi,
I upgraded to onenote 2007 and found that it doesn't automatically set the
files printed into onenote as background - instead they are pictures. This
means that they can be moved around - which is great in some cases, less so
when you are trying to take notes on top of them. At the moment, I am
manually selecting all the pages printed and then right clicking and choosing
"set as background". I was hoping there was some way to set that as the
default preference - so that everything I print into onenote will be
automatically set as background (instead of individual pictures).
Thanks,

Hello,

there is no way to do this at print time (that I know of). Jeff Cardon, a
tester on the OneNote team, wrote a powertoy to do this after printing to
OneNote, though. Check it out at

I hope this helps (and look for more powertoys next week).
