I was overall very happy with the updates from OneNote 2007 to 2010, adding the ribbon and styles to the UI. However, there were many simple options that weren't added that could have made it a lot better.

The one I'm hoping to find a backdoor solution to or maybe an add-on is changing the default styles in OneNote 2010. I would like to alter the Font, size, bold, italics, underline color, and most importantly, the line spacing of the headings.

Does anyone have any solutions for this?

Alternatively, does anyone know of a site to suggest either to Microsoft new features or to programers new add-ons?

Thank you for your help

This is how it is done in Word 2010 but i can't seem to find a way in OneNote. I will continue to experiment.

"Organize your styles Do you love creating and working with your own styles? It’s not a difficult thing to do in Word 2010. Simply format the text with the font, size, style, color, and effect you want. Right-click your creation, point to Styles, and click Save Selection As A New Quick Style. If your styles begin to overpopulate your Styles gallery, you can organize them and make your favorites your defaults. First, click the dialog launcher in the Style group (in the Home tab) and click the Manage Styles button at the bottom of the Styles pane. In the Recommend tab, click the style you want to change and click Set Whether This Style Shows When Viewing Recommended Styles. Scroll through the list and click the styles you want to hide or show. It’s an easy way to weed an over-full Style gallery, and you can always change the settings back if you find you’re missing a style you really need." Author: Katherine Murray
