Margins now outlined

I opened a document in Word in my usual print layout view. The margins around
the page are now outlined. What did I do to make this start appearing and how
do I change it back? I have looked all over trying to figure it out.

If you have Word 2003 or earlier, go to Tools > Options > View and uncheck "Text
boundaries".

If you have Word 2007, go to Office button > Word Options > Advanced > Show
document content and uncheck "Show text boundaries".

I found what was wrong. In options, tools, view, for some reason the "printer
boundaries" was checked. I unchecked it, and now things are back to normal.
Appreciate it.
