How to display margins in Word 2013

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.

    This shows how, you just double click along the top edge of the document. :)

    The word "margins" is being used differently by that article and by the people discussing the topic in this thread.

    The article is concerned with showing the areas at the top and bottom of the page, which are hidden when "show white space between pages" is turned off.

    This thread is concerned with the dotted lines that surround the page's main text area in all versions before Word 2013, when "show text boundaries" is turned on. Those lines surround every paragraph in Word 2013, making a cluttered distraction and obscuring where the text area begins and ends.

    Add my grain of sand to the "swell".  I really don't like the boxes around every paragraph.
