Thanks for the follow-up.

Note that, as an alternative, you can set compatibility to Word 2010. This will restore text boundaries while keeping some of the new features introduced with the *.docx file format. Here's how to do it (as explained by MVP Jay Freedman in the thread at http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/o...9-34d2a04a1a8f):

Press Alt+F11 to open the macro editor, and press Ctrl+G to open the Immediate window at the bottom of the editor. In that window, paste this line and then press Enter:

ActiveDocument.SetCompatibilityMode wdWord2010

Close the macro editor. Then open the Options dialog, go to the Advanced options, and scroll to the bottom. Change the dropdown "Lay out this document as if created in" to "Microsoft Word 2010". That's all there is to it...
