Margin Markers

[Tantrictara]

I opened a file that has margin markers in the corners (they do not print but
show when the file is open. Somehow this got saved as my default templade.
How do I turn this off?

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..

I'm guessing here, but it sounds like your track changes is one. To turn off
the options depends on the version you have. Sounds like this is your
problem.
