I copied some text and pictures from a web page and pasted it into a Word document.
Unfortuantely some (a lot) of (nested) "box-" lines are displayed around paragraphes
and pictures.

What are these lines and how do I disable them (at least their visibility) in Word ?

What you've pasted is probably part of a table. Try Table | Hide Gridlines.

Select the contents and then go to:

Table, Table Properties, Borders & Shading,

Click none

For the future, always use Edit, Paster Special, Unformatted Text
