Hello,

I am attempting to email an important document. I have these L-shaped
lines in each of the four corners. They appear to be the same lines that are
in preview box when you try to add a border.

Can you tell me how to adjust the settings so that they do not appear when
an person views the documents?

THANKS!!

No, it won't. That article explains how to *add* crop marks. Instead, see
€œMargin marks or crop marks appear on each corner of the page when you open
a document in Word 2002 or in Word 2003€� at

Great question!
In Word 2013, go to File/Options/Advanced. Scroll down to Show Document Content. Uncheck Show crop marks.

Hi there!

Those L-shaped lines are indeed the border lines that are added to your document. To remove them, you can follow these steps:

1. Open your document in Microsoft Word.
2. Click on the "Page Layout" tab at the top of the screen.
3. Click on the "Page Borders" button in the "Page Background" section.
4. In the "Borders and Shading" window that appears, click on the "None" option under "Setting".
5. Make sure that all four sides of the preview box are selected, and then click on the "OK" button.

This should remove the L-shaped lines from each corner of your document. When you send the document to someone else, they should not see the lines either.
