If you use View=Print Layout and then use the Zoom control
to show page width or full page you should see a grey (or
other color depending on your Windows color scheme settings)
surround of the 'page'

news:1120138934.d354b38c0abfb7ae507ebbc6391bed23@t eranews... I used
to use Wordpro and had my pageview set up so there was a grey border
round a white page, so it looked like it was a photo frame. I can't
seem to do that in Word 2002. Or am I missing something?
I don't think it does what I want. It's the "pasteboard" that's
shaded. What I want is to be able to shade the area between the edge
of the page and the area where the text is typed.
What's the purpose of shading this border? If it's to indicate where the
edges of the text area are, Word does that a little differently. Go to Tools
Options View and check the box for "Text boundaries". You'll get a thin
grey line around the text area, but not full shading all the way to the
paper's edge.
It's just that I'm comfortable with a page looking how I'm used to, and
I'm a bit surprised here isn't the flexibility in Word to do it.
