Learn more about Teams Keyboard shortcut for enabling margins' gridlines in Word 2013? Ask Question Asked 4 years, 6 months ago Modified 4 years, 6 months ago Viewed 802 times 1

Weird lines appeared in my .docx documents, when I open them in Word 2013:

I know what those are and how to get rid of them.

Here I am asking, how did I get them in the first place? Because I am million percent sure that I haven't visited configuration windows or section neither in my Word 2010 nor Word 2013 for ages.

So, how it is possible that I see them now and haven't seen them yesterday or the day before yesterday? Is there some magic keyboard shortcut that I accidentally pressed that enabled them?

• As far as I know, there is no such shortcut key to enable/disable the option "Show crop marks" in Word. In addition, check if you have ever double-clicked on the white space between two pages to hide/unhide the the white space. If you hide white space, crop marks will turn to be linking marks between two pages. – Herb Gu _ MSFT Commented May 8, 2020 at 8:25
• @G-ManSays'ReinstateMonica' I don't have a cat. But seems like a good hit! :> I have a chinchilla! :> – trejder Commented May 8, 2020 at 18:24
• @HerbGu_MSFT I will have to go to another place where I left my computer with Word 2013, because it happened only there. But, your comment sounds like a jackpot hit, so I'd suggest turning it into an answer. I am more than sure that I haven't changed this option in configuration myself. And I am more than sure that I don't have a cat! :) But it is more than likely that I have double-clicked pages separator space or messed up something with display mode. It seems that your answer is pretty much valid. – trejder Commented May 8, 2020 at 18:27
• 1 @trejder OK. I'm glad to see that my reply was helpful to your question. I'm a single young man and I don't have any cat but I love them very much. Cats' pink meat pads ~~~ – Herb Gu _ MSFT Commented May 11, 2020 at 2:03
