MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / July 2008Unwanted margin boundaries !
Hi there, JUST had a problem occur today that is driving me MAD. In MS Word now I get what I call margin boundary markers - not sure of the correct term. In all cases its when I am in print layout mode. What it is looks like 2 sides of a square - and there is one at each corner of the text area. Each has a different orientation and points into the area. In many ways they are like the dotted "things" you see when you can click on/off boundaries - where the lines will join them up. The FRUSTRATING things are: 1) I don't know how / why they are there today and not yesterday. 2) How I turn them OFF. Can anyone help me please ?? See the article "Margin marks or crop marks appear on each corner of the page when you open a document in Word 2002 or in Word 2003": http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=839371  SignatureRegards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word > Hi there, > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Can anyone help me please ?? I have the same problem. It started when I opened a document from the a co-worker that had these marks. Now all my documents have them. I tried the solution at "Margin marks or crop marks appear on each corner of the page when you open a document in Word 2002 or in Word 2003" it did not work. (There were no Asian fonts listed, anyway.) I restarted the computer and it still did not work.

Stefan, Thanks but, I checked the registry and all the numeric values are "ExplicitOff" except for 1033 which is “On”, as Jay Freedman says they should be. On the way to do this I also unchecked the supplemental language support boxes in Control Panel/Regional and Language Options Language tab and the check boxes for the “foreign” languages in the Control Panel/Regional and Language Options Advanced tab. Then restarted. This created a registry change. But the marks are still there. Then I checked the registry and found it as it should be with "ExplicitOff" except for 1033 which is “On”. What now? > See if the registry fix suggested by Jay Freedman in the following > thread works: [quoted text clipped - 45 lines] > > > > > > > > Can anyone help me please ?? Stefan, THANK YOU for that link. I followed what it said to do - registry editing is NOT my forte, BUT, when I changed the attribute for one of the language codes, and restarted word, the problem was gone !! This was all I could do as nothing else would work - the language setting tool thingy fails for me. Thanx again for the assistance, I do appreciate it ! > See if the registry fix suggested by Jay Freedman in the following > thread works: [quoted text clipped - 45 lines] > > > > > > > > Can anyone help me please ??

Correction: Unless you *forgot* to clear the "Text boundaries" option... Too many negations in one sentence!
