Yet another OneNote Powertoy

A great part of working in OneNote test is the people on our team. Take Jeff Cardon ( again ), for instance. He was wanting to know what types of addins people were requesting the most. I mentioned the method we tell users to use to make a page a subpage

Using our powertoys to test OneNote & updating MergePages

----edited info---- Jeff Cardon fixed a crashing bug in the merge pages addin. If you tried to merge pages in a read only section, the addin would crash (although OneNote kept running). You can get the update at http://johnguin.members.winisp.net/Shared%20Documents/mergepages_setup.zip
