Are the paragraphs in all your Word documents surrounded by dotted line boxes? The lines look exactly like paragraph borders, but look greyed out, and turning off borders doesn’t make them disappear.

Here’s what I mean:

For more proof that these are no ordinary borders, you may have noticed that all new empty documents begin with an empty box by default. So clearly, they are not related to any style or formatting options.

What they are in actual fact are Text Boundaries, and they’re useful for showing page margins.

In older versions of Word (2010 and below) the text boundaries use to cover the entire page’s content (i.e in one large box) but starting with Word 2013, Microsoft updated the layout so that the lines delineated each paragraph.

This has of course been cause for confusion for some users who never realized the change after updating their Word versions, especially since they look exactly like paragraphs borders with dotted lines instead of solid ones.

Anyway, here’s how to disable them.

How to Disable Text Boundaries

Go to Word Options > Advanced
Scroll down to Show document options
Remove the checkmark from the option Show text boundaries and click OK to save settings. That’s it.

line with dotted box

Using Word 2007 in a long manuscript I have a horizontal line with a grey box around it at the top of my bibliography that I can’t delete. I don’t think it is a border problem and have tried all that to delete it. Any help would be appreciated. I attached a screenshot.

Thanks,

Underlining in Word is easy, but overlining a text is a bit more complicated. An overline in Word is also known as an overbar, d bar symbol, or overscore and is commonly used for scientific texts. Even outside of these texts, you may have numerous reasons for wanting to overline text. Overlining text in Word isn’t straightforward, but it isn’t impossible either. There are actually at least four ways to do it. You could use the field code, the equation editor, the method of adding a paragraph border, or the individual letters method.

The Field Code Method

The field code method is probably the most technical way to add a bar over text ion word. However, once you get the hang of it, it is convenient and can be done fairly quickly.

Start opening the document in Word where you want to add the overline.
Position the cursor at the point where you want to put the text you’re going to overbar.
Press “Ctrl + F9” on your keyboard and the field code brackets will appear. They are highlighted gray, and the cursor gets automatically positioned within the brackets.
Enter “EQ x to()” within the brackets. Note the space “EQ” and “x” and also the space between “x” and “to.” This field code is made to create an equation, hence the code “EQ” at the beginning. The rest are simply switches that will be used to format the text or equation. There are lots of switches you can use for this particular field code, with some of them applying bars in other positions, such as the right, the left, and the bottom of the text. Some even apply box borders around the text.
Put the cursor between the parentheses “()” and type in the text you would like to overline.
You will notice that the whole thing still appears like a field code, rather than overlined text. To solve this, simply right click at any point in the field code and select the option labeled “Toggle Field Codes” from the menu that pops up. The text will now appear as overline text.
While the field code is in the form of overline text, you can format it however you want to. Simply highlight it and apply formatting as you please, such as altering the color, font, size, and so on.

If you want to display the field code again at any point, just perform the procedure you performed to toggle to overlined text: right click at any point in the text and select the field code toggle. Whenever you place the cursor in the text that was generated with the help of a field code, the text will appear in gray highlight, just like the field code that was used to generate it.

Extending the Overline

If you want the overline to extend beyond the text on either side, simply add spaces on the side where you want it to extend. It can prove useful when you want to create lines for signatures with words under them. The beauty of field codes is that they work in all versions of Word, whether on Mac or PC.

Equation Editor Method

Another way to add an overbar over text is to use the equation editor.

Start by clicking on the “Insert” tab at the top right of your document.
You will find the “Equation” button in the “Symbols” section of this tab. Click on that button to open the “Equation Tools” Display.
In the display, click on the “Design” tab. Under the section marked “Structures,” click on the button labeled “Accent” to open a pop up with different accents that you could add to text in your equation. Some of these are a single dot, a few dots, a curly line, and so on. What you’re looking for is the “Bar” accent.
You can either select the bar accent or go directly to “Overbars and Underbars” and select “Overbar.” When you use the latter option, you’ll get a slightly longer overbar than you would if you simply went for the “Bar” accent.
A small dotted box will appear in the equation object with the accent you selected over it.
Enter your text on inside the dotted box. To do this, simply click on the dotted box in order to select it and then type in your text. As you type your text, the line will extend to cover it.
Once you’re done typing in the text, click outside of the dotted box and the overlined text will be shown without the equation object.

The equation editor comes with its own quirks, which you may or may not want. For example, if you enter hyphenated words into the editor, there will be spaces before the dash as well as after it. That is because Word treats the dash as a minus since the object is an equation object. There are also other quirks that come about as a result of the fact that Word interprets whatever you’re writing as an equation. If you don’t like the quirks, then it may be a good idea to either use the other methods outlined.

The Paragraph Border Method

You can also use paragraph borders to add an overbar to text.

Start by making sure the active tab in the ribbon is the “Home” tab.
Type in the word you would like to overscore in the document.
On the “Home” Tab, in the “Paragraph” section, there is a “Borders” button. Click on that downward arrow next to that button. A drop-down menu will appear.
From the drop-down menu, select the “Top Border” option.
When you select “Top Border,” you will notice that the top border extends from one margin of the page to the other. You only want it to extend from one end of your text to the other. To do that, you’ll have to adjust the indents for that specific paragraph.
Click on the “View” tab on the ribbon.
Under the section labeled “Show,” click on the checkbox marked “Ruler.”

Now that the ruler is visible, you can change the indents for the paragraph. Place the cursor in the paragraph and position your mouse over any one of the markers for indent on the ruler. Click and drag the indent until the line is at your preferred length. Once you’re done moving the indent marker, you can release the mouse button. Your line is now at the length you want it.

The Individual Letters Method

If you would only like to add a bar over a single letter, then this method proves fast and convenient.

Position your cursor where you would like to add the overline.
On the “Insert” tab, in the “Symbols” section, click on the “Symbols” button.
In the drop-down menu, click on the button labeled “Special Characters” and then “More Symbols.”
You will find a list of special characters under this section. Scroll through them until you find the specific overlined letter you want to add, such as an a with a line over it, and then click on it.
Click on the “Insert” option when you have selected a character in order to insert it into your document.

Источник

To use a line shortcut, first, open your document with Microsoft Word. Next, place your cursor where you want to add a dotted line in your document. Type the asterisk sign (“*”) three times in your document. Now, press Enter, and Word will convert your asterisks into a dotted line automatically.

Microsoft Word gives you hundreds of page border options, allowing you to surround a page with a clean or fancy border, like a frame for a picture. You can also set a border to provide a shadow or 3D effect.

Add a border

Tip

By default, the borders are applied to the whole document, which means every page has the same border. Clicking the down arrow on Apply to gives you the option to select the first page only, selected page, all pages but the first page, and other options.

Once you’ve selected all the border options you want to use in your document, click the OK button to apply the border.
