Margin indent border displays in Word 2000
A friend (high school computer applications teacher) has this problem:
*************************** In Word 2000 (Windows 98), the default page comes up looking like the one in the attachment. It has a frame of some sort showing the margins around the page. Also, the paragraph mark is stuck on there even though the hide/show feature is turned off. This is in all views. I have uninstalled Word and reinstalled, renamed the Normal template, and now I give up. Such a simple problem is driving me nuts. Can you help? ********************************* I have the attachment screen capture as a .JPG he http://russelltexas.com/samples/wordmargin.jpg Based on an Internet tip, I suggested she look to see if a Far East language was enabled under Start/Programs/Microsoft Office Tools\Microsoft Office Language Settings, but she reported no. The user has since done this: I uninstalled Word again and deleted every file with the word "word" in it, reinstalled and I still have the problem. I ran the "cleanup" program (http://cleanup.stevengould.org), checked for viruses and spyware and ran the Norton Utilities scan disk just for good measure. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Russell Smith www.russelltexas.com |

In Word, click on Tools | Options | View | uncheck the "Text boundaries"
and "Paragrah marks" boxes | OK.

Thank you very much...I thought I had asked her to do that, but the second time with your prompting was the charm. Here's her reply: It Worked!!!!!! Thank you!! I learn something new everyday.
