No. But if you create a blank notebook, you can drag the section to that
notebook by clicking the tab and dragging it to the new notebook. Once it is
there, you can use the same process to split the section into multiple
sections. (Create the new sections, name them, drag the pages to the section
you want them.)

easier way :)

Thanks for your help.

What did you want to happen? Create a new notebook with just one section in
it? A new notebook and a new section per page in the orginial section?

Hi there. I am familar with Daniel Escapa's old Blog. So I am quite sure that had Anja replied, she would have been greeted quite possibly with a brand new tool to do such a thing. Well, here it is May 26th of 2011 and I am working my way through my new Office 2010 upgrade and enjoying it. Previously my OneNote notebook had a dozen sections each with about a dozen pages. Now, I would like each existing Section to be its own Notebook and I want each page in that section to become its own section. All the content can just go on the first page of the new section. Daniel, got a powertoy that will convert all this?

And finally, as usual, I am a happy OneNote user and already created the new notebooks from scratch. Then dragged the sections from my old notebook to the new notebooks, replete with templates in tact. Who needs a powertoy!? But, if you are reading this, please keep plugging away at them! Personally, I use 5 of them. I use Merge Pages. I use Table of Content. I use Word Count. I use Sum Table. And I use Notebook Cleaner. What I needed was a Table with all the pages (which now I can easily type the links), and in the right hand column I needed to know how many words were on each page (again I typed this info in), then I wanted to know how many words total in the section I had (so I used sum table, even if I had to copy the column and paste it on an untitled page to do the calculation). Worked for me. Now the two table ones don't work in 2010. Plus, the new 2010 versions of what is available don't work for me. TTYL bye!
