MS Word Problem

[The ANZAC]

I opened a file from my friend and now I have these brackets that piss the **** out of me when I am working in Word. They don't come out when I print, but it's just an eye sore. I can't seem to find where to turn them off. Any ideas? I'll attach a pic

Go to TOOLS and then OPTIONS or PROPERTIES or SETTING. There you will find a tab called VIEW, should be the tab that is open first. Uncheck the box called TEXT BORDER or TEXT LIMITS or something like that. That will take away those markings.

Actually it was unchecked So there is nothing for me to select that will take it away

Well, check it, see what happens and uncheck it again. You might also want to try a few others of those VIEW checkboxes. I can only tell you that this was the way to get rid of those markers in the Word97, but it should be the same in the XP version.

Hmm. those look like the things in publisher. What view mode are you in? Master, or something else?

I'm in print layout view. I haven't checked this board in a while
