"endless" pages vs. "real" pages?

[Michael Moser]

I have an odd phenomenon in my OneNote:

In a specific section some pages have "endless paper" (by this I mean: I can write on them as if the page had "endless" (or rather dynamic) page length. Sometimes the length extends automagically, sometimes I simply have to click into this small square at the bottom of the scroll bar to extend the page. When printed out, such pages are simply split into multiple pages.

On other pages, the white writing/drawing area for some (to me obscure) reason seems fixed, i.e. the page behaves like a real paper page, i.e. if I continue to write below the bottom end on such pages I start wring into the dark gray background. If I click into the square below the scroll bar, the scroll bar moves up and the page is shifted up as well, but the background remains gray, i.e. as if a "real paper page" was shifted up.

I couldn't figure out, yet, how to switch such pages to become "endless" pages. What flag, option or feature controls this behavior???

Hope I could make myself clear...

Not really odd, just normal

In a specific section some pages have "endless paper" (by this I
mean: I can write on them as if the page had "endless" (or rather
dynamic) page length. Sometimes the length extends automagically,
sometimes I simply have to click into this small square at the bottom
of the scroll bar to extend the page. When printed out, such pages
are simply split into multiple pages.

AFAICS this is the default in OneNote 2007.
I have all my things in endless paper.
There's a serious drawback, however: The developers did not care for the
necessary feature of setting page-breaks manually and showing page
breaks.
I seriously hope that this will be cured in OneNote 14.

On other pages, the white writing/drawing area for some (to me
obscure) reason seems fixed, i.e. the page behaves like a real paper
page, i.e. if I continue to write below the bottom end on such pages
I start wring into the dark gray background. If I click into the
square below the scroll bar, the scroll bar moves up and the page is
shifted up as well, but the background remains gray, i.e. as if a
"real paper page" was shifted up.

Obviously you have set a fixed format for these pages.

Easy enough: File | Page settings (my translation from German).
This will open the "Task Pane" where the page format can be set.
Opening the lost box at the top and selecting "Automatic" will fix your
problem.
