OneNote: Things are moving around on their own!

[eitsuop]

So, I write my notes for class in OneNote. I write equations. With a lot of variables in them. It's important that they stay perfect so I can actually study from them.

Lately, things have started moving on their own. A division bar, an answer, a highlighting, whatever. They slide up the page on their own. Sometimes just a bit, sometimes a LOT. All my equations are ruined on one page, but fine on another. I never actually see them move. I go back to look at something else and come back to the page I was on and everything has moved.

I can't take it. My notes are being ruined. Why is this happening, and how can I stop it?

Without seeing an example, my guess would be that the formatting is being handled differently. See if either of the two options here help:

Perhaps a pre-defined template will help.

I'm just making everything a blank page. Here's an example: http://scrnsht.com/nzggyi
To tell the truth, I have no idea where everything was supposed to be...

Math Software

I ran across this the other day. Never used it. It may be more friendly to your math work than One Note.

Download Details - Microsoft Download Center - Microsoft Mathematics 4.0

I noticed one requirement was net frame work be loaded for it to work.

Great program, HammerHead. I used it all the way through Calculus this past Summer.

eitsuop, you might have a look at this article:

I'm wondering if you could use the "Lasso Tool" to group things as you go along - hopefully they'll stay that way when you refer back to your notes later on.

I'll definitely give the grouping idea a try. Using a different program isn't an option for me, though, as I already have a month's worth of notes in OneNote and am also taking notes for English and French classes, not just math.

Thank you for the suggestions!
