Create "linked" pages in OneNote?

S

Swesent

I'm using OneNote to create a character index for a book I'm writing. In
OneNote I have created one folder for each family, as well as separate
folders for every other useful category. In these folders, all characters
belonging to that category have their own page. My concern here is that one
person may belong to two or more categories.

For instance; "Mathilda Winter" - she will be filed under the tab for the
Winter-family - there she will have her own page together with her husband
and children. But she works as a teacher and should therefore also be
included in the school-staff folder.

I know that you can easily create links to individual pages which you can
put on any page, under any folder that you want. But I would like to create a
"linked" copy of Mathilda's page under the school-staff folder. No links to
click on, Mathilda's page will be available under both the Winter-family
folder and the school-staff folder. And by "linked" i mean that whatever
changes I make in one of Mathilda's linked pages, will be reflected on all
her linked pages.

Any way this can be done? (If you just copy a page and paste it under
another folder - you'll have to make the same changes to both of them since
they do not get linked in any way.)

You could make a decision on making Family your source section and then
create a placeholder page in the School Staff section.

So you would create the Mathilda Winter page in the Winter-family section.
This is the page on which you enter your notes.

In the School Staff section you also add a Mathilda Winter page. However
the only contents of this page is a hyperlink back to the Mathilda Winter
page in the Winter-family section.

A OneNote page hyperlink is created by right clicking the page tab, click
menu item "Copy Hyperlink to this Page".
