Questions about organizing paragraphs on a page.

1. Is there any way to automatically (or quickly) split a page into
multiple movable segments?

I have hundreds of pages of notes formatted in the following manner:

- This is one paragraph about a specific topic.
- This is one paragraph about a different topic.
- This is several paragraphs...
All relating to one topic...
That could be described with one or more tags.

Every segment of text separated by a dash, I would like to behave as
one movable segment in OneNote.

The only way I see to do this is to copy-and-paste each individual
segment.

If I have to copy-and-paste so many individual sentences and
paragraphs, it does not benefit me to move the text from Word to
OneNote.

2. Is there any way to automatically (or quickly) arrange movable
segments on a page?

I would like to be able to "select all" and right-click to "arrange in
columns," one column being a standard manuscript format page.

It is way too frustrating and time-consuming to arrange so many
movable sections in OneNote.

3. Is there any way to move a segment on top of other movable segments
and have them automatically move out of the way, like how blocks of
text reposition themselves in Word, WITHOUT combining the segments?

4. Is there any way to quickly split a movable segment in two?

I would like to be able to place the cursor at any point in a segment,
right-click, and "split into two segments."

A keyboard shortcut to split segments at any point would also be nice.

Example:

-There's a lot of text here.
And here.
<-- I place my cursor here, and hit the keyboard shortcut.
- Now the above text is in a separate movable section.

OneNote is a cute little program, but, without these features, I fail
to see how it could be useful to me. It's just not a good solution
for organizing large amounts of text.
