I have got greyed out horizontal lines when I open word. They only appear
when in print layout view and I have tried removing them but cannot find
the
correct method. They do not print or show up in any other views. The lines
are spaced out evenly and are not a background option because removing all
backgrounds does not work. I am using Word 2003 on windows XP
