Can you clarify what you mean by “a section of another post”?

if the content is static then using a shortcode would work, you can simply add {shortcode} in other posts to duplicate the content.
you could write a plugin that looks for shortcodes and the content from a custom post type, where the title was the shortcode and the content was the content to be displayed to the end user. but this might be a little overkill.
can you explain more your usage/requriements etc.
What I meant is that lets say a user has written a post with 4 sections. Is there is a way to pull in one of the four sections into another post without having to rewrite that once over again.
Looking forward to your thoughts.
Not easily if these 4 sections are simply part of the Page or Post content. In theory, you might be able to come up with a coded method for doing this by grabbing the relevant page or post & parsing its content but I’d imagine you’d need to mark the start & stop positions using some kind of unique comment tag to make this truly flexible.
This is all based on the idea that, by “section”, you’re referring to something that is a paragraph or more in length. If it’s a lot shorter than that, you could perhaps look at using custom fields.
Thanks @esmi . I think by section client does mean like a paragraph of text. I am still trying to get more information on how exactly they want it to work.

I think this is the kind of solution that the client is looking for. Are you aware of plugin that can do this? I saw http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend/plugins/content-parts/ but not quite sure if this is the right way to get this done.
Thanks @tcr
I will try to get more requirements and will update the exact usage scenario.
I’m not aware of any plugin that can do this myself. Sorry 🙁
