How do I turn these off?

These greyed out tabs have appeared in my Word docs and I don't know how to
turn them off. They are in each corner and line up with the tabs / margins of
the ruler, so I'm pretty sure they're something to do with that.

Appreciate if someone could tell me what they are (used for) and how to turn
them off.

Thanks,

Mark

These "crop marks" are usually the result of an East Asian language enabled
in your Word application.

Go to Start>All Programs>Microsoft Office>Microsoft Office Tools>Microsoft
Office (Your version) Language settings and disable any enabled East Asian
languages.

If the above process still doesn't clear it up, then try the following
steps checking to see if the problem is resolved after each step.

1. Starting Word in Office safe mode (hold ctrl key when starting Word).
2. Use Start>Search to locate and delete any files using the search string
of
~$*.*;*.tmp
3. Run repair reinstall for MS Office using the Windows Control Panel
Add/Remove programs command..

Greg,

Smashing pal - that did the trick perfectly. Never would have fathomed that
one out!
