MS Word Problem *updated with link to ss*

Screenshot of problem

Does anyone know how to remove those |_ looking things on the margins at the top of the screen shot (they are also on the bottom). They just showed up last night randomly and I would like to get them off. Thanks SO much for any MS Word wizards who can help.

Not sure which version of Word you have, but Shift-F1 will bring up "Reveal Formatting" and you should be able to track it down from there. Sorry, but I don't know why you have the corner arrows. It looks like some kind of border markers.

I have the same situation in my Word 2003, and that Microsoft article does not resolve it. I recall dealing with issue a long time ago and finding out how to remove those crop marks but darned if I can recall now how to do it.

If removing the Asian languages doesn't work then hold down the Ctrl key and start Word in Safe Mode. It may require doing that more than once but the marks will go away.

Well, voilà! It worked. Thanks.

I removed asian languages and it worked. The best part is i can still type in chinese ?? on word without it being "enabled". seems like another usesless MS feature that makes a bug haha.

thanks so much for your help!
