A friend is using Word 2003 and at the top of each page are two "markers" in
grey - they look like backwards "L's" that indicate where the left & right
margins are located (one at the left margin and one at the right margin).
The markers are not on the ruler rather on the page. I have looked
everywhere to see how to turn this feature on/off and no luck.

I hope I'm explaining this properly and someone can help.

Much thanks.

See “Margin marks or crop marks appear on each corner of the page when you
open a document in Word 2002 or in Word 2003”

These "crop marks" are usually the result of an East Asian language enabled
in your Word application.

Go to Start>All Programs>Microsoft Office>Microsoft Office Tools>Microsoft
Office (Your version) Language settings and disable any enabled East Asian
languages.

If the above process still doesn't clear it up, then try the following
steps checking to see if the problem is resolved after each step.

1. Starting Word in Office safe mode (hold ctrl key when starting Word).
2. Use Start>Search to locate and delete any files using the search string
of
~$*.*;*.tmp
3. Run repair reinstall for MS Office using the Windows Control Panel
Add/Remove programs command..
