Import Powerpoint into Onenote and all slides end up under same note.

I am using Onenote and Powerpoint 2013.

I have selected under Advanced Options to split long print outs into individual notes in OneNote.  This was working fine when i dragged PowerPoint presentations into onenote.  The slides would get put into individual notes as i would expect as i had this option selected.

All of a sudden today, i dragged a powerpoint into onenote, and the slides all get lumped into one note.  119 slides all under the same note.  I want them to go into individual notes as it did before.  I went to options, advanced, turned the Printouts insert long printouts on multiple pages, off then tried again, then on and tried again, i tried rebooting, everything.  It always comes back the same.  No matter what i select, when i drag powerpoint into Onenote, it ends up all on the same page.  I tried going to Powerpoint and selecting print to Onenote.  I tried every option.  Still same result, all slides end up in same page in onenote.  What happened?

Any help would be appreciated.

    The powerpoint needs to be a minimum of 10 slides in order to insert multiple pages. 

    You can delete the bank slides (page) from one note once it has been inserted. Assuming this is a setting in one note and I do not believe it can be changed (haven't found an option that displays that).

    FIX!

    Turns out there's an advanced option for it. File > Options > Advanced > Insert long printouts on multiple pages.

    I and several other users in the forums suggested that we get to choose how to insert files via a prompt. Not some random value like 10 pages .......  FAIL
