800 TopicsDrawing on OneNote for IOs
I'm ready to give up on OneNote... it used to be good. I have two problems that regularly interrupt my work. The first problem I noticed was that when I double tap my Apple Pencil, although it is set to go to the eraser, it does that for a brief moment and then turns into that text-to-type pen. The second, and more important, problem, is that quite regularly all the drawing pens suddenly are greyed out and there is nothing I can do (other than possibly waiting a long time) to get them working again. The first problem I can work with, it's just annoying, the second has got me ready to shift my notes from OneNote. Has anyone got any suggestions for fixing either of these? The support crew have had me try the same things each week, and none of it works. Thanks in anticipation!5Views0likes0CommentsOneNote Searching (Indexing ?) Problem (Bug)
This seems to be some sort of bug in the OneNote Search feature (or maybe me). [By the way, I LOVE the Search feature - OneNote is rather useless (for me) without it.] My research into the problem leads me to believe it has something to do with Indexing. Anyway, anything I enter into OneNote now (except for the Title) cannot be found by the OneNote Search feature. My recent problem is in searching for a name (Scott). Search can find old entries with the name Scott and can even find a Scottsdale entry - and Search can find Scott in the Title of a recent entry but cannot find any of the other recent Note entries with Scott in the body (3 of them as a test). I also note that if I manually go to the page with a recent Scott entry, the word Scott is highlighted - but the Notes' containing Scott in it does not appear in the list of notes containing Scott. My OneNote file is huge, probably hundreds of notes (if not thousands) and the Search feature has always worked flawlessly, until now. Can OneNote get too big for Search to work? I really need this feature to work - anyone know what is going on here. ron in shawneeSolved1.7KViews1like6CommentsOneNote breaks if I move it onto an external display
Hi guys I use OneNote extensively for work as my virtual notepad. At most of my working locations, I use my laptop - Dell Latitude 7440 - connected to either a Dell Docking station + 2 monitors, or a pair of samsung monitors which have an inbuilt hub, connect via USB-C and are daisychained together. I've never had any issues with OneNote in the past, but recently have found that if I try and move my OneNote window onto either external monitor, it seems to break OneNote - the whole window becomes just the index list which is normally a column on the left (where it shows all your notebooks and pages) and it won't actually display any of the content from the notebooks/pages. If I try minimizing that column, it has a complete breakdown as if its unable to properly load the actual page content. The only way to fix this is to drag the window back to my laptop screen and then close it and reopen. Has anyone else experienced this? It's really frustrating and affecting my productivity as I often need it side-by-side with other screens.1.4KViews2likes4CommentsOneNote Desktop sync issue
Hello dear community, I installed OneNote from the Store on my Windows 11 laptop and connected it to my notebook in the Microsoft cloud. I opened a notebook in it, and it apparently syncs, but no notes appear on my device. When I click the link to the OneNote notebook in OneNote, the web version opens successfully and shows the notes. It also works successfully on my phone. So far, I have tried the following: - Uninstalling and reinstalling OneNote - Signing out of OneNote and signing back in - Creating a new notebook as a test → same problem Do you have any other ideas? Thanks. Best regards, BD52Views0likes1Comment
