I just finished my new resume and I would like to send it out as an
attachment. But I can't seem to lose the template guides that surround the
text. When I print it out they disappear but when I send it by email it shows
up at the recipient with the blinking cursor and surrounded by the templates
guide-lines. Is there a way to "lock down" a document that will remove the
lines so that the resume looks the way it does when printed out but in email
form.

If the lines you're referring to are the gridlines at the edges of
table cells (since resumes are typically set up in tables), you can
hide them by selecting the table, going into Format Borders &
Shading, and setting the border color to white.

If you mean the faint gray lines at the page margins, that isn't under
your control. If the recipient has the "text boundaries" option turned
on in Tools Options View, they'll see the lines regardless of how
you saved the document.

Just as a general matter, it's usually futile to even think about
"locking down" Word documents. Word is an editor -- a program intended
for changing text -- and is very poor as a viewer.
