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

Today has been realesed the first official update for office 2013 since the realesed of the Service Pack 1, there is also an update for OneNote 2013 but it doesn't fix this issue. Well Microsoft this is very bad, after 1 Mouth you still have not realesed a fix. I understand that those things are complicated to fix but this doesn't seems me like a very big problem. Also there is also no comunication at all from Microsoft staff on this thread. A lot of people use this program every day, the vast majorty I suppose not to play with it but to work on it so you should really provide a solution.

Hi,

There are two updates(March, April) for OneNote since sp1, but neither fix the problem!

There are large amounts of user have same problem, e.g. here, here, here, here.

This is a must have feature for core user.

The best attracting feature of surface to university students is taking notes on PDF/PPT, and they even can't uninstall update!! Because Office 365 University 2013 is a Click-to-Run edition.

This happened right before the final exam!

There are more than one month since this bug, are you sure you can't fix this number issue?

This is EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTMENT.

Thanks Dave, that works for me too.

So until Microsoft gets the issue resolved, be sure you have the option set to "Break long printouts to multiple pages" and make sure PowerPoint has more than 50 slides. (I used 60)

Not sure how to work around with PDFs.

Same strategy.

1. Find a PDF editor. (Adobe Acrobat or Foxit)
2. Add blank pages at the end of the PDF until it reach 51.

Unfortunately, I too became obsessed with how it was forcing me to change how all my notes were to be taken, and yes right before finals exams. This sucked because for the longest time I didn't realize this was an update issue, as I'm sure many frustrated students are as well. Last night consisted of showing up at the library, popping on to Microsoft support chat (thinking this was a result of some change I may have accidently made to the "send to onenote" printer driver itself) and was connected to the biggest joke of a support representative I have ever worked with, who proceeded to take control of my desktop, uninstall and reinstall office. When that didn't work, his next solution was to: uninstall and reinstall office. I know this surprises everyone but that didn't fix the issue either (at this point its been a solid 3 hrs that should have been spent studying, but foolish me I still had faith in the poor lad who could barely navigate the menus in onenote). I asked towards the end of the second reinstall what other solutions he would try, at which point he said I had 2 final options (get this everybody):

PM Kyle: is there any properties of the printer driver itself that can be

tested?

9:56

PM Amor : have you seen this settings?

9:56

PM Kyle: paper size? yes, I have seen the settings to adjust paper size.

9:56

PM Amor : ok last resort, two things....

9:57

PM Amor : you may visit the following web site or reinstall office 365 for this

matter

PM Amor : http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/onenote-help/training-courses-for-onenote-2013-HA104032124.aspx

9:57

PM Amor : that is the website that you should visit first ok?

9:58

PM Amor : reinstallation is just the last resort ok kyle?

"

Um, was that serious!? Three attempts at reinstallation and a link to some beginner courses on onenote. He then proceeds to ask me if there's anything else he could assist me with. Please no.

Sorry had to vent a little bit there.

But anyway, the over 50 pages and making sure that box is checked in advanced options works best as a temporary work around. For power points this is easy. For pdfs though, I found a pretty simple way about doing this same process: combine a couple pdf note sets into one longer than 50 (for me in my classes its about 2-3 lectures) and then send to onenote and proceed to divide and conquer from there. Found an online combiner that's free and at least at this point hasn't stopped my computer dead in its tracks. I suggest gathering up all you notes before classes in the morning and putting them all into one pdf then importing to onenote (as long as your over 50 pages your good, so keep that one long pdf lecture as a backup if you only have 10 or so pages of notes, just throw that on the end and delete after you get it into onenote)

Enjoy and hope this helps anyone OCD like me
