Hi, The user runs Word 2007 on Windows XP SP3. He opened a document from an external source and now every time he opens Word even blank document, it has dotted line roughly around the borders. It looks like a big rectangle in proportion to the document's 'physical border.' I tried to remove the templates in the user's template folder, restart Word, it's same. I tried to copy the normal templates from the other 'good' install, it still stays there. Is there anyone know what the dotted lines are and how to get rid of it? The other thing I notice is when he opens a doc with an image, the image does not show. However, when in print preview and on the hard copy printouts, the dotted lines do not show but the image shows fine. In other words, the hard copy is fine but it just does not show as desired in Word itself. It seems to be 'hints' to show the borders. Add a border to a page in your document to add interest.

Oct 21, 2010 Hi, To work around this problem, To change the margin settings for the page border. Method: Position the page border relative to the outside edge of the page. Without knowing which specific template you're using, my guess is that the background color is a shape anchored to the page header. Or, if the boxes are different on different pages, they may just be formatted as Behind Text (in the document body). If you are unable to select them by clicking on an edge, then, on the Home tab, in the Editing group (far right end), click on Select and choose Select Objects. This will give you an arrow pointer that will allow you to select drawing objects without affecting text. Microsoft MVP (Word) since 1999 Fairhope, Alabama USA http://ssbarnhill.com. Hello Suzanne I tried what you suggested, but it made no difference. When I go to Editing > Select > Select objects, the cursor stays exactly the same which is a four headed arrow. When I click on any of the coloured boxes, the whole page is effectively selected and I can make the (collective) coloured boxes smaller, larger etc but cannot select an individual box, change the colour etc. I've tried it with a couple of the brochure templates and they were more of less the same, but the one I am trying to alter the colours on is 'Brochure (Modern Elegance Design)' which is one of the templates offered as standard in Word 2007. Stangely, there is a box for a photo on the page. This has the same coloured green border as some of the boxes use. I can select and alter the colour of the border, but nothing else. I've downloaded one or two from the MSN website, and they work quite differently. When I open them, the open up in Powerpoint and I can alter the colours through the Design tab. Okay, I've created a document based on that template. It's interesting looking at it in Draft view, as it contains only a page break and a following paragraph--not even a paragraph before the page break. Everything on the first page is a graphic anchored to the page break, and everything on the second page is anchored to the single paragraph. The bad news is that the colored boxes are formed by a single background art piece anchored to the page break.
