When I'm working there are dotted lines and boxes everywhere which I don't
want visible whilst I'm working. I need to Print Screen my document but those
annoying marqueed lines are covering a patterned picture which means they
would be difficult to remove even in a decent Image Editing program. I don't
want them visible, so is there a way of not showing them? I am using Windows
XP and Microsoft Word 2003.

Switch them off: Tools Options.

Dotted lines could be coming from:

1. Table gridlines: turn them off with Table | Hide Gridlines.

2. Text boundaries: clear the check box on the View tab of Tools | Options.

3. Hidden text (dotted underline): clear the check box on the View tab of
Tools | Options or use the Show/Hide ¶ button on the Standard toolbar to
hide all nonprinting characters.

4. Drawing grid: Display the Drawing toolbar, choose Draw | Grid, and clear
the box for "Show gridlines on screen.

Another approach is to take your screen shot in Print Preview.
