Notebook lines in Page View

[Peter Tambroni]

Hi everyone.. I've got a question and please excuse my ignorance!

I'm using Word 2004 on a PowerBook G4...

I'm viewing a document in Page View and there are lines on each page just
like in the notebook view. I have never converted this document or viewed it
in the notebook view... Is there a reason they are there and can I get rid
of them??

Thanks!

Peter

Hi Peter,

Is this true just for the one document? Do you see the lines also in Normal
view or just Page Layout view? And are they the same: horizontal blue lines
with one vertical line at the left?

If so, I would have to guess that the document is corrupt. Turn on the
Show/Hide Formatting tool, copy all but the last paragraph mark in your
document and paste into a blank, new document window. Does that do it?

If this is happening for *all* documents, then I suspect your Normal
template is corrupt. You'll find instructions for fixing that here:

Let us know if something here works.

Thanks for your response and info!!

Some clarification (I mis-spoke). The lines are grey horizontal lines that
*look* like the notebook view. There is no vertical line at the left. It
seems to happen with only a few documents.

When I copied part of the document into a new document it did not have the
lines.... Some sort of corruption? Should I just copy it into a new doc?

Thanks!!

Peter

Yep. Sounds like document corruption. As John McGhie would say, just do a
Maggie on the problem documents. Maggie = Turn on the Show/Hide Formatting
tool, copy all but the last paragraph mark in your document and paste into a
blank, new document window.

This sounds like you may have turned on document grid somehow. This is a
japanese feature that can be enabled in English if you register Word as
Japanese.

Go to /Microsoft Office/Additonal Tools/ and drag the Word application onto
Microsoft Language Register. Set the language to Japanese and launch Word
with your document. Now go to the View menu and see if Gridlines is
selected. If it is, then unselect it.

Quit word and re-register as English using the same tool. If my suspicion is
right, this will fix your document showing the gridline. However, I have no
idea how they got there in the first place.
