Margin mark problem once again
I have read many messages in this newsgroup that explain that un-wanted
margin marks or crop marks that appear in Print Preview mode are caused by having Asian languages enabled. And I've read Microsoft's directions on how to use the MS Office Languages tool to disable these languages and remove the margin marks. ( http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=839371 ) So far this has not worked for me. The marks are still there and "Asian Layout" appears under the Format menu. I have only one version of MS Word installed. I do have Outlook and Outlook Express installed and have checked every option of theirs that I can think of. I have deleted Normal.dot and rebooted, etc. Would anyone have an additional ideas? I need to capture screen prints of Word document pages for illustration use elsewhere and the margin marks must be removed first. Thank you very much for your help. |

Hi Bob,
You have made certain that you don't have the "text boundaries" option activated in Tools/Options/View? (Just double-checking the obvious, first) You don't mention the version of Word, but I assume 2002 or 2003? There are some things that have to do with Asian languages in the Setup list that could, perhaps, be triggering this, such as "Office Shared Features/International support" (that's the only one I see, at the moment, but I seem to recall there's another, maybe under Word). You might check and uninstall these things, see if that makes a difference.

Hi, Cindy,
Thanks for the ideas. Yes, it's Word 2003 and no, I don't have the "text boundaries" option activated. What is weird is that the margin marks only appeared a month or so ago after many months of using Word. I wonder if it's possible that opening a document that included Asian language text could have triggered the Asian language features. I shared the Microsoft tech doc on margin marks with the head of our tech services department who personally looked through the set-up on my machine and came up blank as well. I will probably try a complete uninstall/reinstall but the discussions I have read suggest that this does not solve the problem. I will, of course, inform this group if I find a solution.

Hi Bob,
Yes, this does sound very much like Asian language stuff. You looked in the Office Language Tools to make sure all languages except the one you're currently using are deactivated? I just took a quick look for the first time in ages in mine, and saw "Albanian" was activated. I sure never did that...

Cindy,
In "Microsoft Office 2003 Language Settings," the only enabled language is "English (U.S.)." I'm stumped. Thanks for your suggestions.
