It is infuriating that I cannot take class notes and copy over math equations, or use shortcuts/autocorrect features to quickly type mathematical symbols. I am a biology grad student, and I have to navigate through multiple menus every single time I want to use a delta or micro symbol. This makes taking quick notes impossible. Either make the autocorrect rules we set in Word apply across ALL Office apps, or integrate the Options tab from Word into the rest of these apps. I didn't have this problem with OneNote 2016, but y'all discontinued support and updates for it, leaving us in a garbage position.

Please sort this out. I should be able to select what language I want as default and it should work. All defaults are English UK and it still forces German Switzerland which is extremely annoying. I installed the German language pack because I also sometimes work in German but now the German has over run all the English. I have removed German from all proofing options and language options in Office. It should be possible to set a language as default for all new pages. It should also be possible to set the proofing language by selecting a page or section or section group so everything inside of it is changed at once to the proofing language selected.

Stop the note containers from appearing randomly on the page. I'll go to click on the screen to add a note container for a school assignment and it will scroll me down and put it over on the next page or even the page after, and if it does go on the same page it still goes on the very bottom. I'd love to either see this fixed or for a new method of creation to be implemented like dragging to create a box after clicking a "create box" option in the toolbar at the top of the screen, or right clicking and being able to select something in the menu that says "create box" and it would make a small box with adjustable sides.

I use OneNote for many applications, an important one is to develop and keep electronic laboratory notebooks (ELNs) for my research group at University. Since the onset when I started using OneNote I saw its potential and decided to harness its power, which indeed has increased over the years. There are several features in the 2016 version that would need to be implemented to make it an extraordinary tool for ELNs or other applications. Instead Microsoft has moved into a Windows 10 experience, effectively a simplistic or more immature form that requires my team and myself to go back and forth between 2016 and the 10 versions to make it work.

I started using Windows to then move to the OS platform long time ago, and although a long time Mac user, I have always used Microsoft platforms concomitantly albeit less. Tools like OneNote are tools leading users of platforms other than Microsoft and Windows to become not only more frequent users of these platforms, but to actually become more emotionally connected to these platforms.

What I believe is a OneNote retrograde step in its current form is unfortunately dissipating that re-established bond from Mac and other platforms users with Microsoft and their products.

I am sure that Microsoft has a business and technical model for the implementation, but the approach posted by Microsoft, along the lines of "well we know that many of you may look for more suited alternatives to the underpowered after all Windows 10 version but we will count our loses and focus on a different group of people that does not need them" I believe may be a model less ideal than perceived at first glance. Power users of OneNote I believe are those leading its insertion culturally in a broader society.

Importantly, those perhaps more power users endorse the credibility of Microsoft products more broadly.

Microsoft has managed to create a bond, an emotional link, between the company, its products and users within and beyond Microsoft products.

If Microsoft lead users "to find more suitable alternatives" they of course will and will not return to Microsoft, but it will not be just one individual, it will be the other individuals connected to her/him.

I love what Microsoft is doing, OneNote has been a masterpiece move. Why to jeopardize its initial impact on inclusivity through targeting exclusivity?

Thank you.

I often have to refer to books and Tables in pdf documents. It would be amazing to link from onenote to a specific page and it would be even better if you could take a screenshot of a section in a pdf, embed it into onenote and link that screenshot back to the section in the pdf where the screenshot was taken so you can understand The excerpts or screenshots context.

I know that you can work around that by printing the pdf somewhere into onenote and linking to the individual page. This doesn't show an excerpt, is tedious and you loose alll the advantages of the pdf.
