OneNote 2016 persistent zoom

Hi everyone

I have a problem with OneNote 2016.

I often print text-books to OneNote so I can then make notes on them. I have loads on there now but I have to zoom to 125% in order to make them fill the whole screen on my Surface Pro 3. The problem is, whenever I leave a page it resets the zoom to 100%. How do I get it to not do this? I've searched this topic before and it just comes up with a post that says the zoom level should stick with what I set it to.

Thanks in advance

Dan

    I'm having similar problems with the zoom feature.

    I've noticed that whenever I hit Undo, the zoom resets to the nearest multiple of 100 (even if it's set to Page Width). For example, I like to have it at 175%, so every time I hit undo, it resets back to 200%. Definitely seems like a bug of some kind; I don't know what that would be trying to accomplish.

    having the same issue - OneNote 2016 for Windows 10 keeps defaulting back to 100% even though I'm trying to keep it at 80%. Super annoying, was not the case for the previous version of OneNote.

    ​Hello Daniel,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    As you are aware, OneNote should retain the last set zoom level. In this case, I understand that you are unable to retain the previous zoom level.

    Did you check with other Notebook or pages in it? Does this happen only while sending to print?

    I suggest you to change the Default Notebook while sending the text to print and check if this issue happens with other different Notebooks as well.

    Go to File > Options > Send to OneNote > Other contents > change the default Notebook for Print to OneNoteoption.

    If you have any other queries related to Office, feel free to contact us again.

    Thank you.
