How to display margins in Word 2013

There are items that are hard to believe!  Never was intended?  Then why was Text Boundaries in so many versions before it was "caught"? 

I think "text boundareis" were intended, but someone "goofed" on this version, must have been pretty high up, and will not take the credit or blame for changing "text boundareis"!

For the records, I just did newspaper columns the other day, three columns, and could not figure out a way to know where the "text boundaries" happened to be.  

I did run a line between the columns, but that did not tell where the text would stop and start.  If one wants to place a text box or a picture on either margin, it sure would be nice to have the line for the margin!!!!

The "work around" for mailing labels - "veiw gridlines" in tables works.  

Now if someone could tell me the "work around" for newspaper colunns, that would help.

Bug or not, intended or not, just bring "text boundaries" back!

And thanks for all the support of those making a contribution to this item.

View rulers helps, as does viewing non-printing formatting  marks.

To add to what Charles suggested, some people like to display crop marks as well (File | Options | Advanced: "Show crop marks").

One more suggestion, for positioning text boxes or pictures with respect to the column boundaries: On the Page Layout tab, click the Align button and make sure "Use Alignment Guides" is checked. Then, as you drag a floating object left or right, a vertical green line will appear when one of its sides coincides with a column margin. Also, a horizontal green line will appear when the top of the object matches the top of a paragraph of text.

Note, AFAIK, alignment guides are only available beginning with Word 2013 / 365.
