how do I switch off a red dashed outline from paragraphs?

[Nick K]

All of my paragraphs (in word) are now being displayed with a red dashed
outline. However, when I show the print preview, the red dashed line is not
shown.

Does anyone know what setting I have switched on by accident?

Many thanks
Nick

Assuming that you are working with a version older than Word 2007, this could
be text effects (font animation). Look in Format | Font, on the Text Effects
tab.

And if you are in fact using Word 2007, you can turn off animated text in
the selection by using this macro:

Sub RemoveAnimationFromSelection()
Selection.Font.Animation = wdAnimationNone
End Sub

If you need assistance, see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm.
