Default A grey box/border around my document won't disappear

Hey guys

So I've got this infuriating grey 'border' around my document that doesn't behave like a normal page border (have gone to Design > Page Borders and turned everything off, with and without all the text selected, still no luck). Any idea what this is and how I can get rid of it? Here's how it looks:

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot!

Without taking a look at the document I couldn't say. You are right that it looks like an ordinary page border.

It could be a textbox or other shape in the header or footer set to wrap behind or in front of text.

Thank you - you were right! Just a shape in the header (not sure how it got there!) Thanks very much for your help!
