Onenote 2010 is great but I haven't figured out how to set the right
margin in a note.

Here is a screenshot shpwing the problem. I would like to set the
margin closer to the right side of the page.

When I click on a text box, i can't seem to widen it.

When I go to View|paper Size, I want to use Auto paper size so the
note keeps growing in length. When I select this option, all the other
boxes are grayed out.

Any help appreciated.

cursor on the border and a two-way arrow cursor will appear.
Right-click and drag the border to the right and that will expand your
margins.

Only if one has activated the option to "Show note containers on pages"
(Tools | Options | Display).

Got it. Thanks. For other people who read this thread, there appear to
be some differences in Onenote 2010
1. I set the option as suggested by Rainald. In ON2010 the options are
under the File menu.
2. When I click in a text box, I see a gray/blue window outline around
it. On the top margin at the right there is a <> that I can grab and
resize. Also, as noted by Steve, if I hover at the boundary the cursor
changes to sideways at the right side or vertical arrow at the bottom.
