"Paper Size" feature is interesting so I enabled it. It made the first page a white background so I can visually see the page. Very nice!

Now I want to move to the next page.

Now I want to turn it off so I can see everything without the dark background.

How do I turn it off?

A: Open Paper Size and set it to Auto.

To turn off the "Paper Size" feature in OneNote and revert to the previous view without the dark background, follow these steps:

  1. Open the "Paper Size" settings in OneNote.
  2. Set the option to "Auto".

This should allow you to return to the normal view where everything is displayed without the dark background.
