How to Print Multiple OneNote Pages at Once on a Mac
Question details
Users want to know how to select and print multiple pages from the same OneNote section or tab simultaneously on a Mac.
- Product
- Microsoft OneNote
- Device & OS
- macOS
- Scenario
- Attempting to batch print several notebook pages or an entire section for hard-copy review.
- Observed behavior
- OneNote for Mac currently only permits printing one notebook page at a time, preventing users from selecting multiple pages for a single print job.
Verify that your printer is properly connected to your Mac and ensure you are using the latest version of OneNote for Mac to access all supported formatting options.
Print a Single Long Page Across Multiple Sheets
Since OneNote for Mac does not support selecting multiple pages to print at once, you can consolidate your notes into a single long page and allow it to print across multiple physical sheets.
Microsoft OneNote for Mac currently lacks the batch printing feature available in its Windows counterpart. As a workaround, you can copy the contents of several pages into one continuous page.
Create a new page in OneNote and copy the contents from the multiple pages you wish to print into this single new page.
With the consolidated page open, click on 'File' in the top Apple menu bar and select 'Print'.
In the Print dialog, ensure your paper size and scaling options are set correctly so that the long page spans across multiple sheets of paper.
Click the 'Print' button to send the multi-sheet job to your printer.

Use WPS Office for Flexible Document Printing
If you frequently need to print multiple pages, sections, or custom ranges, consider migrating your notes to WPS Writer. WPS Office provides comprehensive document formatting and advanced batch printing features without the restrictive limitations found in some note-taking apps.
- 1. Install WPS Office: Download and install the free WPS Office suite on your Mac.
- 2. Transfer your notes: Copy your organized content from OneNote and paste it into a new WPS Writer document.
- 3. Batch print easily: Go to Menu > Print to access full control over printing multiple pages, specific sections, or the entire document at once.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I print an entire OneNote notebook at once on a Mac?
No, OneNote for Mac natively limits printing to one individual page at a time. You cannot select multiple pages, sections, or an entire notebook to print in a single command.
Is there a way to export multiple OneNote Mac pages to PDF?
Similar to physical printing, saving to PDF in OneNote for Mac is restricted to a single page at a time. To create a multi-page PDF, you must save each page individually and then combine them using a tool like Mac Preview.
Does OneNote for Windows allow printing multiple pages?
Yes, unlike the Mac version, OneNote for Windows (particularly OneNote 2016) includes robust printing features that allow users to print entire page groups, sections, or the entire notebook at once.
