jdm, I'll offer two possibilities:

Tools Options View. Uncheck Text Boundaries. OK.

On the Drawing Toolbar (View Toolbars Drawing), Draw Grid. Uncheck
Display Gridlines on Screen. OK.

Hope this helps.

In print layout view I sometimes get a background grid. I don't know how I
turned it on and I can not figure out how to turn it off. Any suggestions?
