I believe you are referring to text boundaries. This option can be found in
Office button | Word Options, Advanced category. Under "Show document
content," check the "Show text boundaries" option, and click OK.

A useful element in the previous version of MS Word was the "text borders"
tick box in "Tools", "Options", "General" tab. Does anyone know where
this
has gone in Word 2007? It was useful in letting one know the outer limits
of
one's text and particularly when text panes were being used which could be
set outside print areas.
