Hello,

Weeks ago I must have changed something in Word 2016 for Mac, and since that time I'm seeing gray horizontal lines on the screen in Print Layout and Web Layout which are drawn after each paragraph, one line after each paragraph. These lines appear in all documents, also in the templates that came with Word. The lines are not printed though; they also don't appear in the Print Dialog when I choose "Print" from the File menu.

I faintly remember playing with Borders and Shading when this happened, but I'm not sure. Anyway, I have tried everything I can think of to get rid of these lines: I have deleted the Normal.dotm template from the Templates folder as well as the Word preferences file in the ~Library –> Preferences, but to no avail.

Can anyone tell me how to get rid of these lines?


Word v16.16.2
Office 2016 for Mac
macOS X 10.12.6 (= Sierra)
