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.

If you want to show actual "page margins" and not every individual text line: Go to Word Options / Advanced / Show Document content and select the "Show Crop marks".

While not the same as the old text boundaries, this can be useful for page margins.

I like "box" with a simple 1pt wide line. This is not a display-only setting. Be sure to turn it off when done
