So, I used: Insert > File, and selected a file. My principle requirement was to be able to create Sections and Pages on a particular topic and, along with other materials such as images and screenshots, add links to documents I had in my OneDrive. This interested me in particular because I would like to use OneNote to be able to access files I need for my teaching.
