View text boundaries

[Kamran]

[Word 2003]
Normally, when I apply View Text Boundaries in Tools > Options, I see the
dotted line around the page and these L-shaped brackets indicating the
corners. After I wrote I macro that turns this feature on and off, I'm no
longer getting the brackets in the corners. Could someone tell me why??
Thanks.

Hi Kamran,

That depends on what your macro's doing. Without seeing the code, it's hard to say exactly what.

 

[Kamran]

Right, should have thought of that. It seems to do the same thing, whether I
do it manually through the menu or use this macro:

Sub View_Text_Boundaries()
ActiveWindow.View.ShowTextBoundaries = Not _
ActiveWindow.View.ShowTextBoundaries
End Sub

Hi Kamran,

There's noting about that code to explain the behaviour you're reporting - unless you're using Web Layout view. Print Layout view is
the only one that shows the L-shaped brackets in the corners.

Yeah, that's what I thought! But I see the corner brackets flash quickly and
then disappear when I turn the option on and off. I guess this isn't the
first inexplicable behavior (or the last....).
Thanks.
