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.

"Space between pages" (and truncated pages) is a "white space" issue (http://wordfaqs.mvps.org/WhiteSpace.htm).
In fact, I find that Show Text Boundaries do not even show you the page boundaries. It shows you the top, left and right, however, if you have, say a section break, at the bottom, it will end there, not at your PAGE boundaries. For instance, my Margins are all 1", and i have a section next page break at 6", and the Show Text Boundaries stop there. That still is not my page margin. Very frustrating feature, and all those lines make my eyes go wonky!
Do they ever do any type of updates to fix these things, or will I have to upgrade?
Good Luck, All. I'm still looking for a way!
For Page boundaries:
Page Setup | Layout | - change to 'Continuous' - for some bizarre reason it is set to 'New Page'
Try using "crop" marks. Crop marks are the best work around I have found.
MS says the previous Text Boundareis was an error they finally fixed!
Go figure!!!!!!!

I never liked the ribbon - due to changes in 2007 caused me to go off with mental health issues in 2010 - I now use the Quick Access Tool Bars - just add the "White Space Button" in Quick Access Toolbar - you need to select 'All Commands' - it places a 'green' circle on the QAT (Quick Access Toolbar)

I'm not sure why you need a QAT button when you can toggle white space by double-clicking between pages.
