Unwanted "L" shaped lines near header and footer

Everytime I open a new word document, two "L" shaped lines
appear near the header and footer. When I adjust some
settings in the header and footer, these lines change
size, but I can never get them to go away.

It looks like they are there for something to do with the
page layout, but when I go to print, they are also printed
on the page.

Does anyone know how to get rid of these things?

Thanks!

These are either as a result of the display of Text Boundaries that can be
turned off under ToolsOptionsView, but those do not print.

Otherwise, it is as a result of having installed Support for Asian Languages
and to get rid of them, you have to uninstall that support. I was not aware
however that they were printed with the document.

This is the information from the Windows Help File. The information that
you need is in the last paragraph.

To install East Asian language files on your computer

You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators
group in order to complete this procedure. If your computer is connected to
a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from completing this
procedure.

Open Regional and Language Options in Control Panel.

On the Languages tab, under Supplemental language support, select the
Install files for East Asian languages check box.

Click OK or Apply.

You will prompted to insert the Windows CD-ROM or point to a network
location where the files are located.

After the files are installed, you must restart your computer.

Notes

To open Regional and Language Options, click Start, click Control Panel, and
then double-click Regional and Language Options.

The East Asian languages include Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. The files
for most other languages are installed on your computer automatically by
Windows.

It is recommended that you install these files only if you are going to be
entering or receiving text in one or more of these languages. The Chinese,
Japanese, and Korean files require about 230 megabytes (MB) of space on your
hard disk. In addition to the language files, Input Method Editors (IMEs)
are installed for each of the three languages.

After you install the East Asian language files on your computer's hard
disk, you must add the individual languages for which you want to enter and
display text. After you add a language, the language is loaded into memory
every time you start your computer. For more information, click Related
Topics.

To remove the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean files from your computer, clear
the check box, and then click OK or Apply.

Although the answers you have been given would be correct if the "crop
marks" did NOT print, if you have printing marks, then they are actually
*there.* To remove them, View | Header and Footer, click on each one, and
press Delete. If you're seeing these in every new document, then you'll need
to remove them from Normal.dot. See
