Using Text Boundaries (Microsoft Word)

Written by Allen Wyatt (last updated August 10, 2019)This tip applies to Word 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019, and Word in Microsoft 365 3 If you work often in Print Layout view, you may find text boundaries helpful. These are dotted lines that appear in your document to mark the limits of text elements. For instance, when you use text boundaries, dotted lines appear around the margins of your text, as well as around headers, footers, footnotes, etc. To control the display of text boundaries, follow these steps: Display the Word Options dialog box. (In Word 2007 click the Office button and then click Word Options. In Word 2010 or a later version, display the File tab of the ribbon and then click Options.) Click Advanced at the left side of the dialog box. Scroll through the options until you see the Show Document Content section. (You'll need to scroll down a ways.) (See Figure 1.)
Figure 1. The Advanced options of the Word Options dialog box. Use the Show Text Boundaries check box to control whether Word uses text boundaries or not. Click on the check box to turn the feature on and off; a check in the box means it is enabled. Click on OK.The way that text boundaries are implemented in Word has changed over time. In Word 2007 and 2010, when you turn text boundaries on you will generally see the boundary of the body of the page—in other words, you can see where your page margins are. Beginning with Word 2013, text boundaries were modified to include paragraphs as an element of the page. This means that text boundaries show around each paragraph on the page. This has been frustrating to many users, but there is no way to "go back" to the old way of indicating text boundaries, as far as we've been able to figure out.
