Default !Gray Margin - Border markers

With no borders applied, I am wondering how why there are grayed L's in the
4 corners of the page appering as (_l , l_ ...), it seems as though they are
set to the page margins, yet theylook similar to those depicted in the page
border assigning.

I would like to know how to disable them, and a good start to that may be to
learn how they were enabled in the first place

Any help anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated!

The site: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=839371 reads
"If the Text boundaries check box is selected, click to clear the Text
boundaries check box."

it is not checked... but the corner markers that appear when checking are
those that are showing up; however, their is no box around the typing region
as with the boxed checked.

Thank you I look forward to your response!

What you are quoting is the "trivial solution" to the obligatory "Is the

Thank you very much... I didn't think that additional languages would have
caused that. Sorry for my ignorance.

Default !Gray Margin - Border markers

I am having a similar problem. In addition to the page border I selected, I
am getting a gray border around all the pages when I try to print a booklet.
I have read the article and taken both actions. The problem persists.
Actually, the left gray border on page 1 is the right border on page 2; they
make a "fold here" line. It is the same for pages 2 and 3. The other
borders connect to that line.

This is an entirely different problem, I think. We've had reports of what
are described as "page borders" printing on "book fold" documents. I don't
think a cause or solution has been determined, but since it seems not to be
a universal problem with booklets, it's possible the printer driver is
implicated.

Thank you. My Web research also seemed to point to a "no solution." So,
I've spent the last few hours reworking the document into Publisher. It was
rather tedious, because I am developing a booklet that includes 2 pages of
award winners by year. Each page has 5 columns, the middle one being the
spacer, the other two are for year and name, so there are two columns of
winners on each page, and one of the pages has 40 rows of names. Publisher
won't create that many rows. Argh. So, I managed to reduced the size of
everything in Word, and then I pasted special as a Microsoft object. It
works, but WOW, it will be a pain to update each year. Thank you for
answering.

If you want to do it in Word, you might see the "manual" method described at
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...etPrinting.htm. Provided you have
a printer that will manual duplex reliably (mine currently has a tendency to
grab several sheets at once from the manual-feed tray), this can be the
easiest solution, which provides you the most control.

Alternatively, if the book is short, you can avoid "Book fold" by using "2
pages per sheet" instead (the one in Page Setup, not the one in the Print
dialog, which reduces the pages), then use the "Pages" command in the Print
dialog to print the appropriate page pairs in sequence.

Default !Gray Margin - Border markers

I had just set up a 4 page Word document and then printed it with my HP Laser
5 with duplex capability, opting for "booklet" in the how many pages on a
sheet choice. It's how I got the unwanted page border. It didn't work. I
do almost everything in Word, so this is a shame. I'll look at the article
to see if there is anything I might have missed. Thank you.

If you selected the "booklet" option in your printer Properties rather than
the "Book fold" option in Word, then this might be a different issue.

easiest solution, which provides you the most control.

Alternatively, if the book is short, you can avoid "Book fold" by using

"2
pages per sheet" instead (the one in Page Setup, not the one in the

Print
dialog, which reduces the pages), then use the "Pages" command in the

Print
dialog to print the appropriate page pairs in sequence.

Thank you. My Web research also seemed to point to a "no solution."

So,
I've spent the last few hours reworking the document into Publisher.

It
was
rather tedious, because I am developing a booklet that includes 2

pages of
award winners by year. Each page has 5 columns, the middle one being

the
spacer, the other two are for year and name, so there are two columns

of
winners on each page, and one of the pages has 40 rows of names.

Publisher
won't create that many rows. Argh. So, I managed to reduced the size

of
everything in Word, and then I pasted special as a Microsoft object.

It
works, but WOW, it will be a pain to update each year. Thank you for
answering.

a universal problem with booklets, it's possible the printer driver

is
implicated.

I am having a similar problem. In addition to the page border I

selected,
I
am getting a gray border around all the pages when I try to print

a
booklet.
I have read the article and taken both actions. The problem

persists.
Actually, the left gray border on page 1 is the right border on

page
2;
they
make a "fold here" line. It is the same for pages 2 and 3. The

other
borders connect to that line.

The site: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=839371 reads
"If the Text boundaries check box is selected, click to clear

it is not checked... but the corner markers that appear when

checking
are
those that are showing up; however, their is no box around the

typing
region
as with the boxed checked.

Thank you I look forward to your response!

Default !Gray Margin - Border markers

I tried that later. It resulted in the same problem.

the "Book fold" option in Word, then this might be a different issue.

I had just set up a 4 page Word document and then printed it with my HP

Laser
5 with duplex capability, opting for "booklet" in the how many pages on a
sheet choice. It's how I got the unwanted page border. It didn't work.

I
