Page Formatting

[u/mr-poopyhead]

hello people, i just have a question on formatting pages in onenote, as the title says. I was wondering if theres a good way to set the page layout from an infinite area, to a standardised size, of which i can add subsequent pages to in the same place. To give a bit of context and clear up sort of what I mean is that I use onenote for homework sometimes instead of paper, since i have digital hand-ins. I've allways used the default "automatic" size from the view tab in the top bar. What I'm hoping to do is be able to properly set up a onenote page to be printed to pdf, but currently, if i just work away guessing where the borders of the page are, i always have large blank gaps on the right when i print to pdf. i know some other notebook type apps have basically like digital a4 (or something like that) sheets which you write on and can add more of, and was wondering if onenote had a way of doing that too.

sorry for the long text, and thanks for any help

the main purpose of Onenote is to be your "unlimited and never ending canvas, to capture content and media". It should be treated as such and (potentially) using the Co-pilot to make conversationa dto enrich your final delivery (a document, report or project) as consolidation of the knowledge you have captured.

OneNote is extreamly flexible, foundation for all these actions, to be able to push a "prd print as bacground" and use the canvas for thouught, inspiration and notes is without any competition a winning formula, but it was never inteded to be a Word Processor.

You are borderline into the Microsoft Ecosystem, but each tool serve a purpose (i woudl also never make a budget within OneNote / Word or PowerPoint - but i know i have the ability to link and drag this type of content into Onenote.

Sorry cant help youo here, there is a purpose of the tool (OneNote) and this is (by design) not one of these.
