ShowInserted documents turn into pictures that I can't edit.

Microsoft Office OneNote 2003 has a unique page format that is decidedly different from the linear structure of a typical word-processing document, spreadsheet, or other type of file. Such structured documents cannot be imported into OneNote's more flexible layout without considerable loss of formatting. To preserve the original formatting of imported content, OneNote uses the graphical Microsoft Document Imaging (MDI) format to insert files onto a page as pictures, which can be annotated, arranged, and printed in OneNote as part of your notes. If you don't need to preserve the formatting of content that you want to bring into OneNote for editing, simply copy the text in the original document, and then paste it into OneNote.

ShowDocuments that use color show up in black-and-white when I insert them.

OneNote uses the graphical Microsoft Document Imaging (MDI) format to insert files as pictures that can be annotated, arranged, and printed in OneNote as part of your typed and handwritten notes. Because each page of an imported document or file is imported as a separate picture, imported content can dramatically increase the file size of your notebook. To help keep the file size small, imported pages are compressed and converted to grayscale before they are placed in OneNote.

ShowI can't move or rearrange the pages of an inserted document.

By default, each page of an inserted document or file is placed as a separate, fixed background picture in OneNote. To move or rearrange the picture, right-click it, and then clear the Set Picture to Background option on the shortcut menu (shortcut menu: A menu that shows a list of commands relevant to a particular item. To display a shortcut menu, right-click an item or press SHIFT+F10.).
