Jay:

I want to thank you for your registry "hack" to remove corner marks:

Manually editing the following key fixed my problem with margin marks:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\C ommon\ LanguageResources

Leaving 1033 as "On", but changing another one to "Off" did the trick.

My problems began when I copied and pasted a German e-mail into Word. That
must have triggered a language addition. Language Tools only shows U.S.
English as enabled, but I had an entry for 4100 that was turned "On".
Changing it to "Off" removed the marks.

Have you considered amending the Knowledge Base Article to include editing
the registry?
