Default How to switch on text boundaries in Word in Windows and on a Mac


I have just recently loaded Microsoft Office 365 - 2016 onto both a Hewlett Packard laptop (i-5, Windows 8.1) and an i-Mac (i-5, OS X El Capitan) and I cannot find out how to switch the text boundaries on in Word on either machine. Incidentally, the File menu also does not appear in the Mac version of Windows. Is there a reason for this? Or have I loaded Office 365 wrongly?
I would be grateful for any pointers.

At least in WinWord, the text boundaries option is still available in the "Show document content" section at File | Options | Advanced.

The problem is that the option has changed so that it isn't very useful. In older versions of Word, text boundaries marked a whole "text container," but now it encloses each separate paragraph of text.
