OneNote 2010 Pen Thickness

Question

Can you choose any pen thickness in OneNote 2010?

I think I remember being able to set a pen thickness in mm in OneNote 2007, but in OneNote 2010, the thickness selection is very limited.

Answer 1

Click Draw tab. You'll see two options for thickness and several for colors (under section Tools). On the very right side of this section, you'll see Up, Down and Down with line arrows. Hit the "Down with line" arrow (the last one) and then select "More Color and Thickness Options"

Answer 2

Customize a pen:

On the Standard toolbar, click the arrow next to Pen , and then, on the shortcut menu, click the felt-tip pen or highlighter that you want to customize.

Click the arrow next to the Pen button again, and then click Customize Current Pen.

In the Customize Current Pen dialog box, do any of the following:

• In the Pen name box, type a new name for the current pen.
• In the Pen color list, click a new color for the current pen.
• In the Pen thickness (mm) list, enter a new stroke size (in millimeters) for the current pen.
