How to add page 'corners'?
Hi:
In WORD 2003, my page (in outline view) had little grey right-angles to indicate the corners of the page - i.e. where the margin corners began. Is there any way to make these appear in WORD 2007? Thanks! Ken |

Hi Jay,
FWIW, in Word 2007, the entry right below 'Show text boundaries, 'Show crop marks' will display just the corner marks. Not being able to turn off the crop marks setting in Word 2003 was a side effect of the language settings, but that is fixed in Word 2007. ============ "Jay Freedman" wrote in message ...

Thanks, Bob. Something else I hadn't noticed. I don't often have a use for crop
marks, but it's nice to know somebody on the Dev team was paying attention.

Keep in mind, however, that they aren't really crop marks (unless you plan
to crop pages at the margins). -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Jay Freedman" wrote in message news Thanks, Bob. Something else I hadn't noticed.

Hi Suzanne,
Yes, even MS admits that it doesn't add 'crop marks' http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q176136 FWIW, what the 'crop marks' setting was useful for, other than the visual reference to where the margins on when in print layout view, especially when labels were more expensive, was to use on a plain sheet of paper to be held up to a light over a sheet of labels to see if the alignment was right before you 'wasted' a sheet of labels g. Your article has clearer pictures then the MS article g http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/CropMarks.htm ============== "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Clearly the illustrations in the KB article were created using underlines
and pipes; what I don't understand is why the area they're in has ghostly scroll bars. Clearly they somehow adjust in size when the window is resized (unlike a screen shot), but I don't know how they were created. I like the idea (in Method 2 of the KB article) of just using a rectangle, though, instead of grouped lines, counting on the printer to truncate the excess. -- Suzanne S.
