Microsoft Office Tutorials: Distribute class notebook content library

Copy sections or your entire Content Library from one notebook to another. For example: It's the beginning of the quarter, and you want to populate your new Algebra 1 notebook with the same material from last quarter's class. Or, you can keep a master Class Notebook and distribute its Content Library each time you're preparing to teach the same course again.
