By default the containers are enabled, and OneNote automatically creates one as soon as you add content to your notebook. However, if you want to disable content containers, you can easily do so from OneNote 2010 Options dialog. If you love using containers to separate the content, OneNote offers you a quick way to merge two selected containers, present within a single note sheet.

Whenever you click the new tab on the tab bar present in the main window, it creates a new notebook section and enables you to tweak the default settings including paper size, rule lines, gridlines etc., of the notebook page from the View tab on the ribbon. Although OneNote 2010 provides you with an option to change the default notebook page color in order to visually differentiate between multiple notebook pages, it doesn't offer a direct way to change the default color while creating a new section.
