In Word XP, I'm looking for a way to get the grey margin lines (crosshairs)
to show up in each corner of a page in Printy Layout Vew *without* all the
dotted text boundaries from showing up.

Well, you must be the only person on the planet who actually *wants* this.
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

Wow, I didn't realize it was considered a "bug"! It's a useful way to check
margin alignment but less intrusive than the dotted text boundary lines. I
just reinstalled Word XP but haven't reinstalled the international proofing
tools yet, hence the lack of the grey lines I'm used to.

Thanks very much for your help!

I'm so used to using text boundaries that I feel quite lost without them
(except in Normal view, which is where I usually work anyway).
