How to see margins when in footer in 2007?

[RNW]

In my footer, I've got a little table to organize the stuff there: name of
document, page number, company name, etc.

If I change the margins of the document, sometimes I need to resize my
little table. But I can't see where my margins are. The margins don't seem to
be indicated by shading in the ruler, or by guidelines, or anything.

This is new to 2007...I used to be able to see where the margins were when I
was in the footer.

Help...am I missing something?

Thanks.

The ruler should show shading outside the margins. I'm not aware of anything
that would prevent that.

You can show the "guidelines" by going to Office button > Word Options >
Advanced > Show document content and checking "Show text boundaries".
