HELP!
I have an annoying problem with Microsoft Word.

BACKGROUND:
This week I did a group paper, and when I downloaded my friend's
attachment that had her part of the paper, it changed my preferences
in Word. I think it installed some sort of Asian options package
because now when I go to Tools --> Options --> I can see "Asian
Typography" and "Japanese Find" tabs - which I never had before.

PROBLEM/QUESTION:
Even since I downloaded that Word attachment, I have gotten grey lines
that intersect at right angles in the corners of my new Word
documents. Basically it looks sort of like an "L" in the upper right
hand corner, a reverse L in the upper left corner, upsidedown L in the
lower right corner, and reverse upside down L in the lower left corner
(if that makes sense).  The intersection/point of each "L" is 1 inch
in from each of the closest two sides of the paper. I wish I had an
easier way to explain it. : )

I have searched through all the preferences I could think of and found
no way to make these annoying markers disappear. Your task, should you
accept it, is to eliminate these "L"s from my Word screen!

Thanks.

Those marks appear because you're in "Print Layout".  Choose
View->Normal and those marks should go away.
