Users who frequently perform document formatting may benefit from displaying the text boundaries in a Word document.
Before
Here what Word looks like before we add the text boundaries.
How to do this
Open Word 2010 and click on File to go to the backstage. Click on options to open the options menu.
Under the options menu click the advance in the left frame and scroll down to Show Document content section and check the box next to Show text boundaries.
Click ok and look at Word now.
These same steps can be performed on Word 2007.

Terrific work! This is the type of information that should be shared around the web. Shame on the search engines for not positioning this post higher!
thank you, it’s easy to know information when it’s come by pictures.
Many thanks for that.
After years of using Word 2003, I’m still groping my way around this supposedly easier to use version!
Great job of how to change this and where the options are in 2010.
Thanks
