How moving or copying in OneNote behaves differently

In every program, the ability to copy or cut information from one place to another is essential. It seems like a simple enough task, but within OneNote, it takes on a different twist.

With OneNote, there are many choices for where you can copy or cut and paste information. You can copy or cut from one location on a page to any of the following:

  • A different location on the same page
  • Different pages in the same section of the current notebook
  • Different pages in a different section of the current notebook
  • Different pages in a different section of a different notebook

Another special part of OneNote to consider is its containers. When copying or moving (cut) information, you can copy or cut either part of the information in a container or the entire container.
