Why does Onenote audio recordings not span more than one page?

When I record audio in onenote and then move to the second page the time in
the audio toolbar shows 0 and there are no audio icons linked with my notes.
Everything is fine on the first page and my entire audio recording is there
but on subsequent pages I cannot start the audio. Is this a goof with my
install of OneNote 2007 TR2 or is this just a "feature" in the program?

What do you mean by "second page"? Are you creating an actual new page, or
are you writing/typing beyond the lower portion of the first page?

By design, a recording session will be associated with a single page (ON
definition of page) of notes.

Eric,

Do you know whether Microsoft plans to allow recordings to index onto new
pages and subpages for a single WMA recording? This was a great feature in
2003. I would be sad to see it go. As Viking points out, the OneNote
page/subpage paradigm seems to be being abandoned for both printing into
OneNote and, now, for indexed recordings.

My typical use for OneNote is (was): Download a professor's lecture slides
in PDF or PPT into ON with one slide on a page and then each subsequent slide
as a subpage. The whole lecture occupies one ON page w several subpages.
When the professor lectures on that material, I take handwritten (ink) notes
on top of each slide and also audio record the entire lecture. Now it looks
like I have to pile all slides and audio onto a single page with no subpages,
right?

Thanks,
Dave

Thanks, Erik.
I can live with the hierarchy change in OneNote 2007. We lost some
capability applied to subpages, but gained multiple notebooks. My real beef
is that the ability to import (print) documents to ON as separate pages (or
subpages) automatically, and then to subsequently get page-oriented
printouts. Now documents are just one big blob on a page, and printing them
results in odd page cut-offs. I've already submitted that to MS, but doubt
this step back in features will get re-incorporated.
