I received your email regarding OneNote 2016 will not be included by default when a user on the Semi-Annual Channel downloads - but PLEASE you must include the majority of functions of the original OneNote 2016 such as:
- OCR - the Win10 version apparently attempts at this function but does NOT work. Sometimes after 30 minutes you may receive the text from an image (IF any?) but the original 2016 version was immediate and always works
- Date / Time - Win10 does NOT offer to include the ability to change the D/T of a note as with 2016 - WHY or HOW?
- Menu Bar - as I read thru MANY of the comments, most people prefer the option to see the original 2016 Windows (forever) menu ribbon or at least include the ability to create a Quick Access Toolbar. Seems that MANY of the recent "improvements" in MS are costing users MUCH more time!
- Links to Other OneNote - appears that ver Win10 has omitted the ability to include a link as in 2016. This is a MUST and WHY was it omitted?
- New Window - the original 2016 version includes the Title / File Name in front of the Program Name in the Taskbar (Name - OneNote) As you may well imagine with several OneNote windows open, it is VERY difficult to select the correct tab without entering each - NOT well thought out.
- Outlook Tasks - I generally thought the idea of Office 365 was to INTEGRATE the programs. Again the Win10 seems to have eliminated this basic function of including flags / alarms to Outlook.
- Sync Status - while I generally find a much needed improvement in syncing, it would be very helpful to include a sync icon, that quickly from a glance you would know the status as in 2016 (with Name / Title), NOT with having to enter the Show Notebook List, Rt Click, Sync.
For us to abandon a MUCH used application (NOT substituting an abbreviated App) we MUST have a FULL functioning program as before. If some of these options are available in the Win10 version I apologize, however it would be very helpful to have a page with comparison of features and how to access. The definition of an "upgrade" in our opinion is the SAME functions + additional features (NOT less). Microsoft please listen and think of your customers, thank you.
