did these "markers" get on my default file?
Hello,
This is my first post. I've encountered something in Word that I have no idea what it is, or how it got there (please see attached file). How do I remove these lines from my otherwise blank page? It looks like they have something to do with margins. Thanks! |

We can't see what you see. The document is blank. It sounds like you have turned on the display of crop marks. To turn off, Tools > Options, View tab. Untick the Text Boundaries checkbox.
Crop marks can also be displayed as a by-product of installing Asian languages. |

re: the markers in my default file
Thank you, Kimberly, for suggesting a solution. I tried what you said, but those are different marks. I'm going to describe it better this time, as I have a feeling you'll know what it is.
These marks look 2 small straight lines intersecting, at the top left and right margins. If I slide the margin scroller up or down, these two lines move with it. The one on the right looks like a letter L, while the one on the left faces the opposite way. I looked for other possibilities in the Options area, but I'm still stuck. Bart |

Do they look like in this picture? http://www.wordtipsandtricks.com/200...002-2003-2007/ I don't think they don't hurt anything... they are not part of the document; no one will see them but you. In order to remove them, disable Asian languages by following these steps: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=839371 |

re: the markers in my default file
I checked as per the link you sent re Asian languages, but I only have English enabled. I just noticed they're at the bottom of the screen too, the same kind of thing.
I haven't tried to print yet... when I did the print preview before my first post, I assumed you would be able to see them. Now that I know you can't, I'm less bothered. Here's a "drawing" of them: | | ___| |_____ On the bottom of the page they're upside down. |

re: the markers in my default file
The drawing of the lines came out funky in the thread... the lines intersect, like the letter L

I posted a link to a picture of crop marks and asked if this is what you see. Can you please answer that for me? Thank you.

I don't know if they'll print... you will need to test!

re: the link to the pictures of the crop marks
Thanks, Kimberly.
Yes, that is what they look like! Sorry, the first time I opened that up all I saw were the red circles. But I checked for text boundaries and Asian languages! |
