How to remove margin marks in Word 2003


Before you start, make sure that the Text boundaries option in Word is not selected.

FWIW: these steps worked at the time of writing but (as you may know) things change with Microsoft applications, so you may have to experiment a little.

To do this, follow these steps:

  • Start Word 2003.
  • On the Tools menu, click Options.
  • In the View tab, under Print and Web Layout options, verify that the Text boundaries check box is selected.
  • If the Text boundaries check box is selected, click to clear the Text boundaries check box.
  • Remove all the Asian languages from the Enabled languages list.

To do this, follow these steps:

  • Click Start, All Programs, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Office Tools, and then click Microsoft Office 2003 Language Settings.
