Hi Steve G,

I had the same issue - there's an update available but you need to change the update channel for the Office on your machine which can only be done if you have admin permissions.

You need to get the Office Deployment Tool https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49117 and run this to extract the office setup program. 

Then create a config.xml file with the following content:

<Configuration> 
        <Updates Channel="SemiAnnualPreview" />
</Configuration>

Then run the setup from cmd with setup.exe /configure config.xml 

It will then run through an Office update process and next time you run One Note it will have dark pages.  It updated my OneNote to Version 2002 (Build 12527.20720).

I hope this fixes your issue. 

Daz.
