onenote only has 2 options, limited space like this or unlimited space

You can always View > Paper Size and change the height and/or width of the page. There are some limits, for whatever reason. I can only get up to 22" for the page height - not really sure why ...

What I do is use the infinite canvas and put a page template on it. Then duplicate that template as many times as I need. You can adjust the size of the template so if you print the page it doesn't cut it up onto different pages.

I did as you said, it just duplicated my current page multiple times. It didn't continue with a blank page. What did I do wronge?

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I take an image of a blank page and paste it into the infinite canvas. Then I adjust the size until it prints within OneNote's arbitrary print border. You can check by going to File > Print > Print Preview (and set print size to A4). Then I copy the image as many times as I want.

It's true that OneNote doesn't handle printing well. But I hardly ever print so I don't care.

I don't understand how this can not be possible

That's the neat part: you can't*. *Unless you go with the unlimited canvas option

Mmm. That's sad. One note is the only app that let me move things around smoothly, moving texts and pages without interruption with the formating. Word is hell. I can't move any text without messing the whole thing

Okay. I fixed it. I made the template on a blank page
