Change Paper Size Microsoft Onenote Mac

Flash forward to just a week or so ago, and despite the fact that I installed the latest version of Office for Mac 2016, with the latest version of OneNote, the printed pages would not FIT on 8.5 x 11 inch paper AND the OneNote software actually enlarged them a bit so that it would print the right hand side of the page on a second sheet of paper. This change only applies to Windows, where we have both OneNote and OneNote for Windows 10. Other versions of OneNote — including OneNote for Mac, OneNote for iOS (iPhone and iPad), OneNote for Android, and OneNote for the web — are unchanged.

  • You can print a page, section, or notebook from Microsoft OneNote on a PC or Mac, though the process is slightly different for each operating system.
  • To print from OneNote on a PC, you'll need to access the 'Settings and More' menu, while on a Mac, you can print through the 'File' menu.
  • Because OneNote was designed to serve as a digital notebook, older versions of the software don't allow you to print an entire notebook at once, a limitation you also have on Mac.

OneNote is the perfect way to work on significant school assignments, company projects, or large-scale personal tasks collaboratively.

It allows you to gather all your notes, pictures, audio files, and other media into a single place, and digitally share that notebook with others. But what if this kind of project calls for a hard copy?

While it might seem counterintuitive to print out hard copies of files created using this handy digital note-taking program, paper copies are easier for some people to digest. They are also perfect for showing those outside your group what you've been working on.

If you want to print from OneNote, here's how to do it in a few easy steps.

  • OneNote is a Microsoft Office app similar to Evernote or Dropbox Paper, for taking notes and storing information.
  • OneNote lets you create notebooks for different topics, with each notebook featuring any number of sections and unlimited pages.
  • Within a OneNote notebook, you can take notes, type or write with a stylus, add drawings and photos, store links, and more.

Microsoft OneNote is an app that is designed for research, note-taking, and information storage. Similar to apps like Evernote and Dropbox Paper, it lets you store text and images in free-form documents which you can keep private or share with others. OneNote is a part of the Microsoft Office Suite, along with programs like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

How OneNote organizes your material

OneNote uses the metaphor of a notebook, complete with books, sections, and pages. Your copy of OneNote can have multiple notebooks, each dedicated to a different topic. You might have a notebook for work and one for personal information, for example, or you might create a handful of different notebooks for each major project.

Within the notebook, you can create sections to organize your notes even further. If you work in sales, for example, you could create a different section for each client. Finally, within any section, you can have an unlimited number of pages, making it easy to track information over long periods.

What you can do in OneNote

Once you set up a notebook and create a section, you are faced with a blank page. Like any word processor, you can start typing. As you do, OneNote will offer Word-like tools in the ribbon atop the screen: font selection, text style, bullets and numbering, highlighting, and more. You can also create tables to organize your notes and insert images, photos, audio, and video. The app also grants users the ability to create links or paste in URLs from web browsers.

If you are using OneNote on a tablet or a computer with a stylus, you can also draw, sketch, and write notes longhand.

Sharing notes from OneNote

OneNote is a versatile tool that you can use privately, or share with others - and with yourself on different devices.

If you store your OneNote notebooks in the cloud on OneDrive, you can open OneNote on any device connected to your Microsoft Office account. Whether that's a phone, tablet, PC, or laptop, you'll always be in sync with all your notes across devices.

You can share entire notebooks with other people using the Share button in the ribbon, though know you're sharing the whole notebook, not only a section or a page.

A feature called Replay lets you create a page of notes and then play it back like an animation. This is a tool you can use in the classroom or for delivering a presentation.
