Hi xTenn. Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately the problem is
more severe than that and your suggestion does not work. Your
suggestion definitely makes it worse!

How to test.

(1) place an image in a OneNote. (Test A, set it as background,
Test B, don't set as background)
(2) ink on the image.
(3) insert a text box above the image
(4) hit return repeatedly in an attempt to move the ink.

As you will see ... the ink moves, and the picture stays still -
especially if the image is set as background.
In Test B, the ink *CAN* move with the image, sometimes. If often
does, but it's just not robust enough. I test this function sometimes
and it works well, the next test fails miserably. It's hard to figure
out what to do.

Another request I have is to allow INK to "embeddable" into a cell in
a Table. That would be very helpful to me.

When interviewing clients I'd like to have a table as a template. The
left most column would be the areas I have to cover to interview the
client. The right most column would be a "Notes" section where I ink
notes while talking to the client. If I add a row above my inking or
make the row above twice as long, I want the INK to stay in the Notes
section.

I wish there was a OneNote Professional that functioned more like a
wiki/database with Objects that had functions that would integrate
more effectively with Office Products. I take notes for a reason and
I want the data to be usable. I struggle to find an application that
supports handwriting on my tablet effectively.

Oh, and I'd also like the ability to digitally sign a OneNote note and
lock it from further editing, unless unlocked.

However, I do love OneNote peer to peer synching. :)
