Default Remove table lines
I recently moved from Windows machines to Macs. I'm now using Office Home & Student 2016 for Mac. When I open documents in Word on my iMac, the text is enclosed in what appear to be tables. I'm guessing I missed a setting to eliminate this. What did I miss? Thanks.

It looks to me like you might have Word's 'show text boundaries' option checked.

Thank you, Paul. I've searched through Preferences and cannot find an option for "Show text boundaries." Where is it, please?

I updated my profile via Edit Your Details > Registration Required Information" when I initially posted my question. I see it's changed now.

Thanks again.

On Macs, those preferences are set via Word>Preferences>View>Text Boundaries.
