The article in question has been updated for Word 2007, but I think what you
are asking for is "Text boundaries," which displays the margins and other
text boundaries as a dotted line. That is found at Office Button | Word
Options | Advanced: Show document content: Show text boundaries.

Thank You!! That worked. That option is misplaced. Should be under 'Display'
not 'Advanced.'

There are many options under Advanced that should be under Display;
apparently the designers didn't want to "clutter" Display with options they
thought few users would use.
