You cannot adjust the settings in the Page Setup dialog box in OneNote 2003 (822514)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Office OneNote 2003
  • Microsoft Office OneNote 2003, Service Pack 1 (SP1)

SYMPTOMS

When you try to adjust the settings in the Page Setup dialog box of Microsoft OneNote 2003, you may see that the settings in the Page Setup dialog box are unavailable (dimmed).

CAUSE

This issue occurs because OneNote is configured to use the page size setting "Auto". This means that OneNote adjusts the page size based on your content. This automated size may not match the size that you want for your document.

WORKAROUND

You can change the setting from "Auto" to the size that you want for your document (for example, "Letter"). Doing so disables the default configuration and you can make changes to the Page Setup configuration of your document.

Note Replacing the Page Size "Auto" with another value changes the behavior of OneNote. When you switch to fixed sized pages, the page is resized on the screen and you will see gray areas to represent the area off the page.

To change the page size setting, follow these steps:
  1. On the File menu, click Page Setup.
  2. On the Page Setup dialog box, in the Page Size drop-down menu, click a page size other than Auto.
  3. Click to close each of the Page Setup dialog boxes.

    Your changes are saved upon closing.
