You create a blank subpage and drag the page onto it. It will turn that page
into a subpage, and you can then delete the other one.

Another way to do it: Select the page tab for both the page and the tobe
sub-page. Right click the tab and select "Group Pages".

It would be a lot simpler if OneNote gave us a hierarchical outline of our
page/subpage structure, and let us simply drag anything to a new location. To
turn a page into a subpage, we'd simply drag the page into a position under
another page. A lot of note-filing programs work like that -- for instance,
TexNotes Pro and MyInfo.

That's easy. You'd have pages and subpages displayed in a column. Pages
would be left-aligned. Subpages would be indented.

To reorder pages, you'd drag them up or down, and drop them where you wanted
them to go. To turn a page into a subpage, you'd drag it up or down, till you
found the page you wanted it to be a subpage of. Then you'd drag it to the
right, under that page.

This is much easier to do than to describe! I've done it in many other
programs. It's the way most outliners work, including the one in Microsoft
Word.

And it has other advantages. You can quickly turn a subpage into a page. You
can create many levels of subpages. Working this way is completely intuitive,
and needs very little explanatoin. By contrast, OneNote's structure of
sections, pages, subpages, and section groups takes a while to get used to.

I take the liberty to disagree.
Dragging a "main" page below another page IMHO should leave it with
it's status.

Adding some hot-key (f.e. Shift+drag) perhaps might be a possibility.

Just my $ 00.2

What if there was the option to simply right click a page and choose "Page" or "Subpage"? Then you can move it anywhere you want and click and pick between the two. At least have the option in the "Page Setup".
