How to display margins in Word 2013

Still would like to see Text Boundaries added back.  It was aweswom, and "always on"!  Never had to look for some work around!

Many (experienced) users depended on text boundaries, but, unfortunately, the Office team has stated that the boundaries won't come back. :-(  Still, you could post a suggestion in the form at http://support.microsoft.com/common/survey.aspx?scid=sw;en-us;2222&altStyle=MFE&renderOption=OverrideDefault&showpage=1&fr=1&nofrbrand=1.

I was aware the labels were just tables, but never thought to go this route.

Thanks for the tip.

In Word, labels are merely tables with fixed cell dimensions.  Therefore, you can turn on the "boundaries" by clicking on View Gridlines in the Table section of the Table Tools>Layout tab of the ribbon.

There is no solution known.  I have put "crop marks" on the four corners that help, but not the same as text boundaries.

You MUST use text boundaries when using labels or you will not be able to tell whether the text fits inside the labels.  I have had some labels display the labels, but not always.  

Good luck, however, WE DO NEED TEXT BOUNDARIES BACK!!!!

Good luck

I just upgraded from Word 2007 to Word 2013.  In the 2007 version, I could display the margins but I haven't been able to find how to do that in Word 2013.  Does anyone know?  Clicking on "show text boundaries" seems to put a lot of lines in the document only.

Go to the view tab and check ruler.
