Copying and moving objects

With macros you can copy or move existing objects in OneNote. The CopyObject and MoveObject functions allow copying and moving sections, pages, outlines, paragraphs, images, embedded files, and tables.

Example

To create a copy of an existing page or to move it, you need a target Section object. You can specify where in the section you want to copy or move the page:

Copied!

$pageToCopy = GetCurrentPage() $targetSection = GetCurrentSection() // Copy the current page to the top of the current section // The last parameter is position and it is 0 based index // CopyObject returns the new page $newPage = CopyObject($targetSection, $pageToCopy, 0) // Now move that new page to the end of the section MoveObject($targetSection, $newPage, -1) // Now create another copy after 3rd page. It will be the // 4th page in the section, so specify the position #3 $fourthPage = CopyObject($targetSection, $pageToCopy, 3)
