How do you highlight and move sections of one note to another note?

Use Copy Paste

To quickly reuse text, copy it in one location and paste it to another.

1.  Select the text, then tap Copy.
2. Note: If you want to remove the text from its original location, tap Cut instead.
3. Tap where you want to paste the text, then tap Paste.

Select text

If the text is in a table cell, you need to tap the cell before you can select the text.

• Select a word: Double-tap it.
• Select a paragraph: Triple-tap in the paragraph.
• Select an item in a list: Tap its bullet, number, or letter.
• Select a range of text: Double-tap a word, then move the grab points to include more or less text. Drag beyond the end of a paragraph to include any formatting marks (called invisibles).
• 

Note: If you tap placeholder text, the entire block of text is selected.
