Say, please see the attached screen shot of a Microsoft Word document. The gray border surrounding the text is mine concern. How do I get rid of this? I cannot find what is causing this gray border around the text. Whichever Edit mode I chose, the gray border remains. It is something in the formatting, I would assume. Thanks, Shaun<br />

Permanent gray border around all pages of Word document

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
