–Response– Darn, I was hoping there was something I could change in the registry that would solve my only real gripe with OneNote (okay one of two, the second being that search results aren't highlighted in printouts sent to onenote). I appreciate you taking the time to respond to my question.
I was beginning to spend my free time learning more about Windows Registry so I could search for a way to fix it myself. You've saved me a lot time.
П™‚ I don't usually need formatting to be any richer than OneNote already provides. I would just prefer to have the ability to set defaults for the settings it already allows the manipulation of. –Rant– I'm not sure how others use OneNote, but I use it to centralize information, from lots of different sources in a variety of different formats, into one easy to access location. OneNote has proven to be very useful for such a task, but its problem is in making that information useful later. For instance, I find a law review article that seems like it contains a lot of information I want, but don't currently have the time to go through it.
To send it to OneNote I may (1) link to it and hope the website hosting it has it available when I finally get time to read it, (2) print it to OneNote and preserve the article in a format usually most suited for readability (font type, color, spacing, etc.), or (3) 'cntrl-a' and paste it into a page in OneNote. The problem with (2) is that as an image the text becomes difficult to read actively (e.g. Highlighting, selecting certain passages for coping elsewhere, and finding key words). The problem with (3) is that if I paste and 'keep source' formatting and the article is of any length then it could take a considerable amount of time to complete.
If I do (3) as 'merge' then I usually get the results I am after minus the paragraph spacing. If I do (3) as 'unformatted' text then the process is lightning quick, but all of the spacing, colors, fonts, and spacing are lost to my default OneNote settings. Merge has proven to be the most useful for me, but I always end up going back and adjusting the paragraph spacing. Yet another voter. Farming off to Word is not an option. These products are different beasts as the MS team surely knows.
It seems like a fob-off to just say 'use something else' It's the simplest thing in the world for programmers to handle this sort of thing. Storing a few numbers and actually referring to them in the code is trivial. If, somehow, the developers have made it horrendously difficult (can't think how) then they should be demoted to junior programmer and sent back to Programming 101. I thought the days of 'Constants aren't, Variables won't.' Is long gone. This paragraph spacing issue is SUCH an ongoing annoyance. What can possibly be the problem.
Even if the developers simply changed the default paragraph spacing FROM 0,0,0 to 6,6,0 at least the formatting would be correct most of the time. As it stands now text paragraph spacing is correct none of the time. I am seriously looking at EverNote now and even considering returning to my old favourite, used without issue for years named IMiser Research Assistant. But guess what.
Exporting data from OneNote apparently presents another major headache. Wouldn't it just be simpler for the developers to fix the program or issue a patch or even just provide the registry information so we frustrated users can reset the default ourselves? I would like to submit and re-iterate a comment above from March 29, 2012. When pasting content from web pages,.please. maintain line breaks within OneNote.

Pasted content is illegible without paragraph and line spacing, which render this OneNote feature unusable. OneNote is a tool to increase productivity. Reformatting pasted content manually by every OneNote users is not justifiable nor tolerable given today's technology, and given this concern has been raised for many years. I sincerely ask to team to take action and deliver a patch.
