OneNote - Inserting Code Blocks
Are there any plans for a way to format code blocks in OneNote without inserting a 1 column/row table or an ugly print out? The most relevant Google search brings up a post from 2018 where the top answer says its been requested on UserVoice and directs OP there, but 3 years later, still no code block formatting options and Microsoft isn't using UserVoice anymore so I don't where else I can submit feature requests besides this discussion board. Thanks!
Please add Markdown support
Please add support for Markdown editing/rendering. EverNote and Boostnote all support this, but OneNote still lacks this feature, while it remains so many developers' main notetaking tool. Take myself as an example, I enjoy its seamless integration with OneDrive and powerful search function, but find it difficult to properly take down coding related notes -- I was forced to format code snippets into monospaced font with shading to make them look like "code snippets". To elaborate the user story about this idea: The user can create a new "regular page" or a "Markdown page". If the latter, then Markdown tags entered are rendered as you type (e.g. #title, >quote, *bold*, `code`...) The user might also enjoy a "cell editing" mode (similar to Jupyter Notebook). So if the cursor is placed in a cell, then it changes to raw text view. And once escaped from this cell, it gets rendered. And maybe enable some Jupyter/VS Code stype shortcut keys, too (Alt+Up/Down to move the cell, Alt+Shift+Up/Down to duplicate the cell, Ctrl+Shift+K to kill a line, etc) This way notetaking will be more efficient/fun, and many developers would thank MS!
OneNote and Apple Scribble
I’m running the public beta version of iPadOS 14. Apple now has a feature called scribble, which let’s the user take the Apple Pencil and hardwrite text into any text field and Apple converts it to typed text. This doesn’t work in the current version of OneNote. I suspect that is because of the way that OneNote executes its free form text boxes. Will OneNote eventually support this feature. I’d REALLY like to take notes in OneNote with my pencil and using handwriting, but having the Apple functionality turn it into text. FYI, it already works on Evernote.
How to paste a video link without a preview by default?
Every time I paste a YouTube video link like below: OneNote 2019 creates a preview. All I want is a simple link like the one below: My only solution is to press control + z to undo, then it fixes the format. However, I wish there was a setting somewhere that would change the default pasting of a video?
Sync Error- E0001462 bukxq 30102 server issues
Hi fellow user, I wonder if someone can help me with this error. I have about 20 pages in a section, inside a section group, each with a small audio file and a pdf, plus handwritten notes. This error appears for the last few pages, saying OneNote can't sync now, and that the pages with the issue were last synced at a specific time, a few hours ago. This is actually a copy of a previous Notebook I was using, but got a lot of E000145C bukxh 10007 errors, from trying to use it in 2 devices at the same time, I've since made this new notebook copy i'm using, and only one one device. Do you have any ideas? Could it be some sort of size issue with the section or section group? I've tried to contact support, but there is no technical support for OneNote from the Windows Store, and leave feedback on the app itself. I won't close the Notebook or reinstall the app, as that will lead to data loss. I can try to copy the page somewhere else, and copy back again, but I want to understand WHY I even have to do that in the first place. I sincerely appreciate any help you could provide to this issue, Stay healthy and safeWhere ARE OneNote files saved?
Today I was using OneNote to save some notes form an online course I'm going through. I realized that I was putting all these notes into the wrong OneNote notebook. I searched to see if I had a different OneNote notebook for the new that I wanted to create. There was none, so I proceeded to create it. Only OneNote than complained to me, saying that a OneNote notebook by that name, already existed. Oh yeah, well then where in heck is it? I looked in my OneDrive for it (I have a Microsoft 365 Family Edition license). According to https://www.filedesc.com/en/app/microsoft-office-onenote all OneNote files end with a file extension that looks like this .one* So, I looked at the root level of my OneDrive for all files ending in .one*. It didn't find anything. Huh? The mystery is getting larger. When I look inside OneNote, to say add a new notebook, it will show me the names of the available OneNote notebook. But when I try to find them searching using OneDrive - no way. Nothing exists anywhere. I'm pretty sure that OneNote does use OneDrive for saving OneNote notebooks. I'm sure of this because when I use my Windows 10 desktop, or Window 10 laptop, or my Android phone, I can find all of those notebooks as notebooks I could add. So, what in heck is going on here? Does OneNote obfuscate the file name for some reason of it's own?
OneNote 2016 (Desktop) Renders PDFs in Low Quality vs. Mobile Apps
Hello! For the past few years I have been dealing with an unexpected and difficult use case between the OneNote 2016 (Desktop) and Apps (mobile, online, Win10, etc.) in regards to how PDF printouts are handled. When importing a PDF as a printout in OneNote, there is a difference in the resolution of the printout when viewing the PDF in the 2016 (Desktop) version when compared to OneNote App in Online, iPad, mobile, etc. **If importing a PDF printout in OneNote 2016 (Desktop): PDF is full resolution in desktop program (OneNote 2016) PDF is reduced resolution when viewing in OneNote App (mobile, iPad, Online, Win 10, etc.) **If importing a PDF printout in OneNote App (mobile, tablet, Win10 App, etc.): PDF is full resolution in BOTH desktop program (OneNote 2016) and OneNote App (mobile, iPad, Online, Win 10, etc.) Because of this, I am forced to import PDFs through the OneNote App in order to get the full resolution of the PDF. I can't just use the OneNote 2016 desktop PDF import, then go to a mobile device to read papers/edit. This behavior has been around for a while, and makes working with OneNote difficult since I use the PDF printout daily. This problem has been documented multiple times in the past in the following posts: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/onenote-app-renders-pdfs-in-low-quality/ea64a37d-eba9-45bf-bdb0-968aef1d338f Good description of the resolution difference between the imports, and the "workaround" solution via importing through mobile app https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_onenote-mso_win10-mso_o365b/onenote-pdf-printout-low-resolution-on-other/caf6afc5-becf-4ab4-9890-5c0d1f298510 Previous OneNote employee describing what he/she believes is the cause of this low resolution import Based on the posts, the issue seems to be from OneNote 2016 using XPS as a native backend, and the apps rending the PDF resolution in a different manner: "2016 uses XPS as a native backend which is why the high quality rendering occurs only on that platform and on the OneNote Win10 app." - https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_onenote-mso_win10-mso_o365b/onenote-pdf-printout-low-resolution-on-other/caf6afc5-becf-4ab4-9890-5c0d1f298510 Does anyone know why this is occurring? Is it due to the XPS backend of the desktop 2016? Is there a fix for this behavior? Short or long term? Any help/comment/feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
