Default Show Text Boundaries

To show/hide text boundaries, use the following macro:

Sub ShowHideTextBoundaries()
On Error Resume Next
ActiveWindow.View.ShowTextBoundaries = _
Not ActiveWindow.View.ShowTextBoundaries

End Sub

Add it to the normal.dotm template (or to an add-in); you can then add a
button for it to the Quick Access Toolbar or attach a keyboard shortcut. See

Notice is says "PageBounndaries" not text boundaries. I tried it and it
just
eliminates the extra white space. Thanks anyway!

Thanks, but I already tried this and found no related command. I
thought
someone might have another idea.

You can add any Word command to the Quick Access Toolbar, by default
located
at the left edge of the topmost title bar. Click on the down arrow at

right end of the toolbar, and navigate through the menu structure in
the

hard to
recognize, but you get tooltips when you hover the mouse cursor over
them.
