OneNote 2013: Merging multiple pages or switching continuous viewing

Question

I'm using OneNote 2013.

I have used the 'Print to OneNote' facility to import a bunch of textbooks that I'm working with.

At the time I didn't know about the advanced option to import large documents without paging them, so I now have sections with several hundred pages. And a few shorter documents that are not paged too.

Ideally I'd like to be able to navigate through them as if they were a single document rather than several hundred discrete documents, and merge or regroup the pages by chapter.

I reason I can either do that by either:

1. Switching on some sort of continuous scrolling.
2. Merge the pages into a single page.

After a bit of hunting though, I have yet to find a continuous scrolling option or a way of merging pages.

Thanks in advance!

Solution 1

Switching to a scrolling view seems not to be an available option. Which leaves merging the pages.

And in that regard, you have two options:

1. Copy/paste each page manually.
2. Buy a plugin to do it for you.

I went with the plugin (on account of I had several hundred pages to merge).

For anyone who stumbles across this page with the same problem then the plugin I used was: OneNote Gem at a cost of US$28.

Solution 2

In Onenote go to the FILE menu, then click OPTIONS, then on the left click ADVANCED, then scroll down on the right the second last check box is "Insert long printouts on multiple pages", untick it. problem solved.

Yes, I did that for future documents, but in this particular case, I had a several hundred page doc that already had a lot of edit notes and annotations added, so reimporting it would have resulted in a lot of lost work. Thanks anyway!

Welcome to SuperUser, could you please try to clarify the steps. I would find current formulation difficult to follow. For example, exporting the section to what format? Why to print hard copy? What does "(hard copy) vs page" mean? Bullet points and logically organized paragraphs are your friends. Thank you.
