Default How does one "Show text boundary in 2007"

Peter,

Thanks for the suggestions but I still cannot resolve the issue! The
"text box" on the right-hand side of the document is fine but the
left-hand is 1" away from the actual text! To clarify one issue you
mentioned, the problem IS apparently unique this particular file!

I thought I might have found the problem and it appeared to work but
when I scrolled down through the document, it "shifted" the order of
many of my indented sub-paragraphs! I did notice that on this
particular document, when you go to Page LayoutMargins Custom
MarginsPage Setup, the Margins Left was 0.13" and the right was
0.88". On all the other documents, the Margins Left was 1.25" and the
Margins Right was 1.25". But the left side of the "text box" remained
at the far left of the document!

I probably would never have noticed this problem had I not
"experimented" with the "text box" in the first place, but it's very
strange that I can't fix this one file. Any other suggestions would be
appreciated!

Bill

Have you examined all the interlocking settings of margins and indents
and Styles and all that stuff that could be affecting your display?
Check the Paragraph display (where you set line spacing etc.), the
Page Layout display (all three tabs), where you set page size,
margins, etc.), and the Styles panel (where you Modify or Create New,
etc.), and even look in the Header & Footer to see if there's
something there that shouldn't be.

Sometimes they can surprise you. Especially if it's only one file
that's misbehaving!

Stefan,

I just saw your recent response on this subject and while I've been a
Word user for years, I never had the "need" to show "text boundary"
but decided to try your advice on several of my files and it worked as
advertized. I then tried it on another file and the text boundary went
all the way to the left margin (1" away from the start of the text)!
Try as I might, I could not get the text boundary to close in around
the text! What do I need to do here? Thanks!

will be necessary to replace it, of course. I'll cross that bridge when I
have to... :-)


For what it's worth, I'd choose Firefox over Google Chrome, because Chrome
seems to create a mess if you ever want to uninstall it (see
