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.

    I totally understand your frustration. I am joining the countless people trying to study with this software. I have missed 3 hours of lectures in one day alone after the update killed my multi-page functionality. 

    Microsoft, how long are you going to let us talk among ourselves?

    How long are you going to ignore this enormous bug before you fix it? This was not a problem initially. 

    I paid $100 for this software and I am increasingly feeling like it's the first amount I've wasted on what I thought was a reputable and reliable source: Microsoft. 

    Help the students out, 

    Jake.

    Has this issue been fixed yet? Its very frustrating since this feature has stopped working. There should be a pop up dialog box or something that asks if you want to split the PowerPoint into subpages whether it be 2 pages or 100 pages it should always give you the option.

    Hey Daniel, 

    Any updates to this in the last 9 weeks? Have Microsoft introduced a patch?

    I am having the same problem. but I had that problem just a couple of days ago, longer after the update. When I check my control panel, i haven't had any update since 2013. my version of the programe is indeed higher than 15.0.4569.1506. adding blank pages does work, but it becomes difficult for PDF files, as you need an editor and it costs 500 bucks. most of my lecture notes are in the PDF formats. so the onenote is basically useless for me. I bought office 2013 just for onenote.

    the tech support was hopeless. The first time I got cut off, the second time tech guy said he was not able to help me with problem because the problem was usage problem, then he pretended that the line was cut off and hung up. the third time, I got transferred multiple times and ended up with the American support team who said they were not able to help Australian customers and referred back to Australia. I really cannot believe that Microsoft customer service is that bad. i also tried the online chat support as well. I need to pay 150 bucks for one year subscription of tech support. I didn't go ahead with it and have found this thread. sorry to rent a bit. for those who try to contact tech support for this problem, save your breath. It seems that lots of people are really bothered by the problem and there are a few threads about the same problem.
