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.

Suzanne:

I just found your responses to Thinh Nguyen Tien andThomasCollo 's questions about the missing text boundaries  in Word 2013 (after three hours of searching, including a reading of most of your MVP artifles, because I was determined to find an answer this time).  That ends my search, but leaves me just as frustrated as I was beforehand!  I have to agree with you that it is yet another example of how ignorant Microsoft developers are with respect to .how people actually use their program.

If I had known about this ahead of time, I would have purchased an earlier version of Office (with Word 2010) for my new computer (which I had to get, because its predecessor died).  I guess I'll just have to learn to live with it, but it will be difficult.

I noted along the way, interestingly enough, that saving s copy of your Manuscript Template converted it into the same line-covered format but that my system was happy to copy your "Lonely Pilcrow" presentation (copied because I had difficulty reading the light blue print) without adding those lines, even though I think they were both *.docx files.

If you are referring to http://wordsintotype.mvps.org/LonelyPilcrow.htm, it is a Web page, so it might be treated differently. If you were viewing it in Web Layout view, you would still see the lines but not in Read Mode.

Let's create the groundswell.  I often refer to the explanation blogs, but never reply.  Here's my first as I am that frustrated.

After searching online for the last two days determined to find someone who knows how to turn-on the margins, it appears it is not going to work in Word 2013.  Phooey.  Trying to work with labels without margins is difficult.  I suppose I'll have to outline everything - just hope I remember to remove the lines before printing.  So much for a new and improved product.

Yea!  Did not know this.  Thanks so much.
