Fix "Hightlighted Text Effect" Now Present in OneNote While Using Windows High Contrast Setting
I use Windows High Contrast setting (black background, white text) to make it easier to see. I use OneNote daily for work and as of November 12, all text, even on old notes, looks like it has been highlighted. Background is still black, text is still white but the light-colored "highlighted text effect" makes the text hard to read. I've done nothing aside from opening OneNote this morning and this issue was not present yesterday. I've also restarted my computer to see if that would fix the issue and it remains the same. I just want to point his out…

Please fix high contrast mode - black. It seems to have some compatibility issues with OneNote.
Even though my High Contrast setting is set to white writing on a black backgroumd, which is how it is displayed in my other applications, when I open OneNote, the text is black on a white background. Please resolve this issue so when I am on High Contrast Mode while using OneNote, the writing should appear white on a black background.

OneNote inaccessible with screen readers
I have worked with students using OneNote on an iPad with VoiceOver and a laptop with JAWS. In each case, OneNote is nearly impossible to navigate, let alone input any information. I have tried both the online version and the installed versions in both cases. Overall, OneNote is simply not accessible to screen reader users. As a result, teachers and students are required to find workarounds and do a great deal of extra work. Please consider looking into this issue.

Add Thick Ruled Lines Option In OneNote
I like seeing ruled lines in OneNote, however adding thicker ruled lines in OneNote would be easier for me to see. In fact, there are special notebooks that are designed for people who have low vision. I don't use notebooks anymore, and I prefer OneNote to keep my notes tidy. Please consider adding this feature!

New Microsoft Application
This does not tie into OneNote but there was no category for me. It’s an application idea.
Microsoft offers many applications such as Word, PowerPoint, calendar, Sway, etc. The only thing they are lacking is a classroom.
Most schools use Microsoft as there document storage for students, I know I do. However, teachers must use Google Classroom or Band to create a virtual classroom with there students. It would be so nice to be able to send my work to my teacher without sharing or emailing it. Google Classroom is great but not if your school is Microsoft based and…

OneNote: allow import/export that preserves hierarcy
It would be extremely useful to be able to import a text file that already have a hierarchy (via XML like tags, or bookmarks in the document etc.) into OneNote and have the result preserve that hierarchy rather than have it all in a single note you then have to manually break up.

Office Lens great idea for Inclusion students but still sounds complicated,Is there a instructions for teachers or paraprofessional to help
Taking Pictures of Homework, projects to take home, websites to play on that's safe. Elementary kids with a Inclusion teacher usually does a lot of the computer work. Kids love taking pictures. Sending this picture home would be fabulous.

How am I supposed to learn how to use OneNote with all of these undefined icons?
How do I use OneNote if you do not have a tutorial for understanding it? When I create a note, how do I make sure the text is saved?
What do the stupid icons mean. the squiggly line?
What do all of the microscopic icons mean?
Whoops, Now I have red lines. How do I get rid of them?
I need something like OneNote to help with my memory disability and visual processing disability but it is so difficult to use.7 votes -
Onenote for Android Accessibility Improvement Request
Hello.
I'm Giyeon in Korea.
I would like to improve the accessibility of OneNote for Android.
When I read a memo I have Written, can not read it by line or paragraph.
Talkback provides the ability to change the navigation mode by swiping one finger up or down. For example, you can switch to Character navigation mode by swiping down one finger.
However, if you change the Talkback navigation mode to paragraph navigation mode and attempt to read the note contents, you will fail.
Be sure to test on a page with two or more paragraphs to Be sure to…6 votes -

Onenote
It's annoying that whenever you add a picture you cannot edit it, put it where you want, or put two pictures next to each other etc. I would just like some editing like there is for word and powerpoint. Even if there was just "crop" and "wrap text" it would be a lot easier to edit your notes to how you would like them

Improve the speed of One Note- It takes a long time for microsoft onenote to search words in a users notebook. Improving the speed of search
It takes a long time for Microsoft OneNote to search words in a users notebook. Improving the speed of search would allow users to better search through previous notes
Also, make it so that users are able to click and drag sections of one notebook to another notebook with ease.
thanks

OneNote for Android
Guys, please include more functions to OneNote. I don't understand why iOS version of OneNote differs from Android so much. It is ridiculous.
They have a variety of pen/pencil options, inserting pdf options, shape corrections etc. Please for the love of god include all these to OneNote. I'm not having the same experience of using OneNote in school as compared to my friends using iOS. Please, please, please include them for Android.
Yours sincerely,
OneNote fan boy

OneNotes
Tables within oneNote need to be "smart" I
love onenote. I use in for all my organizational needs, however, it would be great to have simple tables that could do imbedded formulas and such, so you don't have to go back-forth from excel and imbed files every time you need to change a number.
I would love it, if you copy and paste or send to "onenote" from another Microsoft products, it cares all the properties with it (similar to powerpoint, when you imbed an excel -- but better).
I talked with a developer at the USBLN conference last year,…

Please can we crop images in one note rather than having to do it externally?
I love OneNote but when I've screen shot something I'd love to be able to re crop if necessary. I miss the screen clipping tool from OneNote2016 but I'm trying really hard to use the windows X one (as I'll be expecting my staff to use it from September)

Hey!
Would OneNote be able to create a feature for me and everyone else where you can color code a page to mark as priority? You can even use yellow, green and red :)
Here's a screenshot I took for a better idea of what I mean!
https://imgur.com/a/DtekAI just couldn't make it a colored highlight, since I was just holding a page and timing the screenshot for demonstration. But if you can make it permanent and with color, that'd be awesome!
