How to Disable Note Containers in OneNote

Note containers have all the text written in one spot, allowing the user to move them to any spot in the note. However, this is often unintuitive and messy, which may usually result in scattered groups of texts on the note. Luckily, the note container function can easily be disabled in OneNote.

• Step 1: Open Microsoft OneNote and Select a Note

  

  The user can start this process by opening Microsoft OneNote on their desktop. Afterward, the user must select a note by clicking the notebook and selecting any of the notes available.

• Step 2: Check if Note Container is Activated

  

  The option for Note Containers is enabled by default in Microsoft OneNote. But as a precaution, it is best to check if this option is enabled. The user will have to click on any spot within the note, and type Uses on their keyboard to create any combination of words and letters. If a box with text appears, the note container option is enabled.

• Step 3: Changing to File View

  

  The accessibility options of Microsoft OneNote can be accessed by heading to the Options tab inside the File view. The user can open the File view by clicking the “File” button, which is located in the upper right corner of the window.

• Step 4: Opening the Option Display

  

  The file view holds all the options that could be used to edit, export, send, and save the file. To enable or disable any of the accessibility options available, the user must open the Options view by clicking the “Options” button located in the lower-left corner of the window.

• Step 5: Disabling the Note Container Option

  

  After the user has clicked the Options view, they must navigate to the Display backstage view by pressing the “Display” button on the left pane of the window. Upon clicking the “Display” button the user should scroll down until they find the Note Container option, and uncheck the check box for “Show note containers on pages” to disable this function.
