Question

How to move text and textboxes in OneNote?

Answer

Within OneNote you can move that text box, or expand it by using your cursor.  To move the entire text box, but maintain its size and shape, wait until the cursor turns into an + with an arrow on each end and click and drag the item to where you would like the text box to appear.
 
To resize the text box go to the side, or corners of the box and wait until the horizontal (side) or diagonal (corner) arrow appears.  Once your cursor becomes the appropriate arrow, click and drag the box to increase or decrease the textbox size and shape.
 
Cutting or copying and then pasting text is another way to move text from one location to another.

  • Cutting text removes it from its original location.
  • Pasting places it in a new location.
  • Copying leaves the text in its original location, but places a copy of the text in the new location when you paste.
