Hi!



Some time ago, I started to have a problem with my Word 2010. When I add page numbers, they are gray, and have a blue box saying "Page numbers (top)" around them, which prevents me from seeing where exactly the numbers are going to be.

What is worse - a kind of similar thing happens with my equations. If I just add an equation, all I write is automatically grey and italicized, the mathematical spacing doesn't work there (e.g. there is no space around the "=" sign), and the whole thing is between blue boxy thingies (this time with no text). The only way to add a normal equation is to choose a template (like the area of a circle) and then edit it.

All of it disappears upon printing, but it's still annoying, as it makes it harder to format the document well.

I'm adding a screenshot to show you what I mean. Does anyone know how to remedy it?

Perfect! So easy, but I couldn't find it anywhere. Thanks!

Sometimes, knowing what it is you're looking at is half the battle.
