how do i edit the background in onenote ? please help :)

@maikenjacobsen View --> Page Setup --> Page Color or Rule Lines. Those are pretty much the only two options. You can always include an image and do things on top of it, but that's not really a "background" per se.

Hey MM,

Thx for the demo. Hv an issue & cannot find solutions! How do u print an existing multi-page document into a single OneNote section so that it appears as individual pages?

I hv a multi-pg. PDF document & want it all under one section. When I print it into OneNote it puts all the pg's. on ONE page. Make sense? I need it to be like putting indvid. pg's. behind one divider in an actual notebook. It does not do it! Is my only option to copy each one individually?!

Thx alot for any input

@wosefole Comments are received, but screened.

What you are trying to do is not possible by the nature of OneNote. Within a section you can have multiple pages, but you would need to do this separately. It will not allow you to automatically drop a multi-page document into separate pages, because when to Print to OneNote, you have to give it a location. This is because OneNote is really for one-off creation and not conversion, which is what you're essentially trying to do.

Thx for very fast response. Another feature I do not see is the 'Flag' feature. Can u not flag pages

in OneNote? I guess I will hv 2 use Windows Journal 4 what my needs r--importing film &

TV scripts & making notes on them. With Windows Journal I can insert pages in between

the script pages (notes pages that I have to use for my job) & at the bottom all of the pages are

tabbed. Then you can flag them to access them quickly. Sad the bigger better program does NOT

have these features. :(

@wosefole Honestly - you're in a square-peg-round-hole situation.

If the scripts are PDF, your best tool is Adobe Acrobat. It supports inking directly on the pages, flagging, sections, etc. without importing or converting.

Journal can do it, but it's clunky. You're adding more work than is necessary. Acrobat is the best tool for that business case. And yes, inking is supported in full Acrobat.

I just got a new tablet from work that came with ZERO documentation. After watching a bunch of videos and reading articles, this is the best quality tutorial I have seen. Thanks so much for making it!
