How does one "Show text boundary in 2007"

[Stefan Blom]

The text boundaries should show the "text area" within a container (page,
text box, frame, etc.). In other words, the boundaries depend on margins but
not on indentation.

This is strange, I think...

Note that the behavior of text boundaries has changed (I'm told) in Word
2013. It no longer works as expected, unless you save the document to an
older file format. :-(

I just noticed your reply...

Have you considered changing the text box margins? Does that make a
difference?

Stefan,

I don't know how I missed it, but you were right on!!! I checked the
text box margins of the troublesome document and noticed that it was
somehow set 1" to the left! As soon as I shifted the text box margin
1" to the right, the text box lined up perfectly! Unfortunately for
me, it meant that I had to go through the entire 1.8M file and change
the indents where applicable but once done, the document was "back to
normal".
I can't figure out how I got this particular text box margin set since
I didn't even know about it until the procedure for accessing the
"text box" was posted a short time ago! As I mentioned earlier, all
the rest of my webpage documents were not involved.

Thanks to you and Peter for your patience! Best regards!

Bill
