Microsoft apparently went out of its way to make OneNote idiot-proof. Delete Section Group in OneNote 2010 and OneNote 2007 Never again will a webpage screenshot saved for months be opened in MS Word only to find that the all important variable has been lost off the edge of the right margin, never to be seen again.
