How to get rid of margin markers
I have somehow managed to switch on a marker which shows the margins on a
page when I'm in print layout view. The marker are two short lines connected at 90 degrees, pointing towards the writing area. How do I get rid of those? I'm using Word 2003. Thanks in advance |

How to get rid of margin markers
Graham
Thank you for answering but that didn't do it. Perhaps it would be more obvious if I could post a screenshot. Is that doable?

No, we know exactly what you're talking about, and it's the problem
described in the KB article cited. If the fix given in that article doesn't work for you, then we can't help you, I'm afraid. -- Suzanne S.

How to get rid of margin markers
Well, that was hardly the answer I was looking for. I'm not quite sure who
the "we" in your answer refers to but what was in the article didn't do it. I don't have and never have had any of the Asian languages cited as a cause turned on in my settings so the problem I've encountered is obviously different. There is thus another bug in the program. Has anybody else had the same problem and also not been able to solve it with what was described in that article? "Suzanne S.

How to get rid of margin markers
By 'we' Suzanne means the MVP community and other volunteers who answer
questions here. This is a well known bug. It is associated with Asian languages and the only known fix is that described. Did you actually check whether you had any Asian languages installed, as they can be installed automatically if you access material that requires them? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Henrik wrote: Well, that was hardly the answer I was looking for.

How to get rid of margin markers
I've looked in Microsoft Office 2003 Language Settings and I only have
English (US), English (UK); Danish, German and French installed. I've had that for a long while before this bug manifested itself. I tried to deinstall everything except English (US) but the markers remained. I'm not sure were else to look. I looked in Control Panel Regional and Lanuage Options as well. Under the Languages tab,'Install Files for East Asian Languages' is not selected, and under the Advanced tab, no East Asian languages are selected under 'Code Page Conversion Tables' (but other languages with particular characters -- e.g. Arabic, Russian -- are). I suppose I could try to reinstall Word even though I'd rather not, as I'd loose my customization. Do you think that would work?

How to get rid of margin markers
I doubt that re-installing will achieve anything useful - see

How to get rid of margin markers
I tried the approaches described here (deleting temp files, deleting registry
keys) but I still have the same issue. How frustrating...
