Blue lines in Document
My sons laptop with Word for some reason now has documents starting with blue
lines like a piece notebook paper. They do not match font size and are irritating to us all. How did they get started? How do I get rid of them? |

Sounds like maybe someone turned on the grid lines?
To check, click View Toolbar Drawing to turn on the drawing toolbar. Locate the Draw icon on it and click to see a menu. Choose Grid and uncheck the option if that is turned on. Otherwise...could be you'd loaded an image or something into the default Normal.dot template. This TechTrax article will tell you more about fixing that issue, if that appears to be the case...

Dear Dean,
Thank you so very much for solving the problem that has been plaguing us for a long time. I know I have been through the view menu many times. I even looked at the draw toolbar and never thought to click on "draw" to see more. Since the draw toolbar was never checked (or visible) I did not suspect it. I make it a habit not to change things. My son I suppose did that at some time and forgot how he did it. These programs are much too complicated for me. I would think that if the draw was doing something it would show as running when the program starts. I am wrong again, as usual. Thank you again. Jeff. "Dian D.

Well, uh, I guess it would be Dian spelled improperly. Kinda lets you know
what you are dealing with huh? Like to get a message back on here I follow the email notification link and then get directed to the sign-in and then have to go to english, then Office, then Word, then Word General Questions and then search down to find the one I wrote, then reply. I am sure there is an easier way but like most things, I don't know it. Thanks again. "Dian D. Chapman, MVP" wrote: No problem...glad it helped. (By the way...who is "Dean?"smile) Dian D.

Well...I use a newsreader (Agent) to get here. But I believe if you
get here through the web interface at http://support.microsoft.com/newsgroups that there is an option to get an email notification if anyone answers you. Then you SHOULD be able to click the link in the email to get back to this thread. And...although these are great newsgroups...there ARE other groups like Yahoo email groups. You can find other types of support groups as well as further info about newsreaders in this article...as well as links to other groups (including my groups) on the resource page.

If you have a computer with any version of Windows installed, you probably
have Internet Explorer. Part of Internet Explorer is Outlook Express (which you may even use for email). You can also use it to read newsgroups like this one. You don't have to sign in, and it's much easier to find new messages (including replies to your posts). For instructions on setting up Outlook Express to access the msnews server directly, see http://www.insideoutlookexpress.com/...ommunities.htm -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA Word MVP FAQ site: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

But yes, there are easier ways to get here. As explained in the article...a newsreader is the more efficient way to handle it.

Spam, worms, viruses etc are the curse of the internet and the price you pay
if you ever release your e-mail address into an insecure web page or newsserver, or you correspond with someone who is less careful about virus protection. Set your anti-spam measures to discard these mails *without opening them*. If you have opened any of them, you had better get that antivirus software dusted down and you should run with a firewall to hide you from the clowns. Windows XP has a firewall, or you could consider the freeware version of ZoneAlarm. Never ever open an unsolicited e-mail attachment (even from friends) and set your mail reader to view only plain text or you could unwittingly add to the problem as well as jeopardising the integrity of your own system. Does your ISP provide spam filtering on his e-mail server? If not, you should consider anti-spam software. Mailwasher works for me, but I prefer to have it set to just delete them rather than bounce them.  -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org jeff wrote: Don't know who to talk to about this but what a price to pay to post here!!!

Yea, well. When I filled out the stuff for this one I had a choice for my
email address to be a fake one or something like that and I chose it. Fat lot o good. Google says the same thing - "Privacy protection Google Groups cares about the privacy of group members. You can: €¢ "Mask" your email address so spammers can't collect it. €¢ Remove your own posted messages if you change your mind about them. " But thanks for the Word fix. I really appreciate it!!!
