Also following: user definable shortcuts to add current line (or paragraph) to defined page in current section. For example “Shift + Ctrl + 2″ moves or copy current line/paragraph to page “Actions” …

what I really miss is, I would name it, “tagging while typing” (or “inline tagging”) , for example:

“I type this in onenote {spec_seq}Important” after pressing Enter I would have “I type this in onenote” tagged with tag “Important”

{spec_seq} should be user defined, for example “@#”, so

“tag this twice @#important @#review” will tag “tag this twice” with two tags (important, review)

I reallly want a scriptable “export whole notebook” to pdf or html or wiki etc.

And resizeable pages so that they dont look shit on a smaller / larger screen (learn something from the web – it’s only been around for 19 years!)

I'm a brand new One Note user. Just discovered that there's no ruler!!! I'm a bit shocked! It can't possibly be that hard to put one in there. How on earth am I supposed to accurately gauge for printouts??? Seems like a no brainer.

That would be perfect. It is so frustrating to try to take notes in Onenote, and have to import my equations in from Word. Then if I have to edit the equation I have to delete the incorrect equation, go back to Word, find the original equation, edit it, and finally paste it back into Onenote. By then I am lost in class.

It may exist, though I haven't been able to find it yet (if it does, please forgive my stupidity) – a button that eliminates excessive white space in a note page. Frequently when editing pages of notes, I delete whole notes. The remaining notes don't close up automatically, as text does in a word-processor say. It would be handy to have a button that rationalises the page, closing everything together, to eliminate excessive scrolling. Many thanks, Martin

I would love a simple text box function, so i can enter text in a box or text into auto shapes (as per other Office programs ), and then change the background colour or borders. Actually would be almost as good if we could put a colored border or background on the note containers

The thing I’d most like to see is more drawing tools. I’d really like it if you could connect objects with arrows that follow them around. I’d also like to be able to create objects like boxes with a pen and then have them automatically convert to a clean box. Also, being able to group and resize combinations of drawing objects and text objects.

I’m not sure what is meant by the poll’s description of mindmap, but I use that product as well and i really would like OneNote to have tools similar to mindmap, or perhaps better linkage between the two products.

Another thing I’d like to see is a hyperlink from anything printed into onenote back to the document’s source. The ie add-in creates this for webpages, but why not create a link to the document for everything printed into onenote?

Also, since I find that I’m actually doing more notes with type than with tablet (which kinda surprised me) I’d like more shortcuts to switch tools. For example, I’d really like a keyboard shortcut for the lasso tool.

A “sort pages by date” function please! This would be nice.
