Why Doesn't OneNote Allow File Attachment Icons to Be Placed Beside Each other?
Unfortunately i don't have my win 11 machine setup yet, i did however try it on 2210 version of Office 365 onenote and seems to work fine on windows 10.
As a workaround, you can insert a table first and then insert files into each column.
Thanks
Hey JBLT-77
Not sure if it is the Onenote version you are using, or if it is an issue with OneNote desktop application. I am using 'Onenote for windows 10 app' and am able to align them side by side :
One note tries to insert a file wherever your mouse pointer is, so you can try clicking next to the first file you upload and see if it uploads the file where you want.
Thanks
harveer singh I am currently using the Office 365 version of OneNote. I'm not able to find the OneNote for Windows 10 app in the Microsoft store. Perhaps it's because I'm on Windows 11. I'm currently on the latest build of OneNote for Microsoft 365.

I had the same issue. Starting out, I had typed the name of a trip and wanted to attach any itineraries and important meeting documents for the trip. Any typing creates a text box. I then attached 2 documents, which landed in the text box in a vertical pattern. I wanted them to appear horizontal, left-to-right. I deleted them from the text box and re-inserted them OUTSIDE the text box which allowed me to move them around and place them horizontally. It seems the text box was the problem. Hope this helps.

harveer singh Thanks I will try that workaround as well as see if microsoft tech support can tell me why onenote is arranging file attachments the way it is.
