Kim,
Tools - Options - View tab, uncheck the box next to "Text boundaries".
It could also be that you have an Asian language enabled in Start -
Programs - Microsoft Office Tools - Microsoft Office XP Language
Settings - remove the Asian language there and you should be OK.

Can anyone tell me where the setting is to shut this feature off? Some
users
have think grey lines in the four corners of the word window. Showing you
where your margins and headers/footers are. I don't know why it bothers
so
many people, but I can't figure out what setting it is to turn this on or
off. the lines look like an L or an L backwards.

thanks.
