Re: How can I convert a Section Group to a new Notebook in OneNote
Thanks, Ben. I did this.
Did I mention I love OneNote?
Interestingly: when I first tried to create the new notebook, I gave it the
same name and got a message saying "do you want to use this section group as
your new notebook?" So I said yes. And then when I opened the new notebook --
which should have been a copy of my existing section group -- all the pages
were there but the data was ABOUT A WEEK OLD. My newest changes weren't
there! Very bizarre. So I deleted that, made a new EMPTY notebook and
manually moved the files into it as you suggested.
