How do I turn off the outline of a page in Print Layout View?

[Guest]

For some reason, a dotted line outlines the page in Print Layout View. New
documents show it. So do old documents. In each corner is a gray,
right-angle bar. I want to turn these off, because they are distracting.
Ideas?

It sounds as if you have Tools > Options > View tab > Text boundaries turned
on. If this is the case, turn it off (the setting applies to all documents).

For the dotted line outline, in Word click on Tools | Options | View |
uncheck the "Text boundaries" box | OK.

For the corner marks, see http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=839371
"Margin marks or crop marks appear on each corner of the page when you
open a document in Word 2002 or in Word 2003".
