Text Boundaries Auto Fit with the Text

This is the default in Word 2013, but ordinarily you would not see it in Word 2007 unless you have inserted a wrapped object, and even then you would still see the page boundaries.

Thank you, Suzanne.

Here's what I understood:

In Word 2013, there's a feature to set if let text boundaries autofit, but in Word 2007, I only can show/hide it. So if I want to set the text boundaries not autofit, I have to install MS Word 2013.

I open that word file with both Word 2007 and Word 2013, after I set the text boundaries displayed, they autofit the text in both programs.

Okay, I guess I must have misunderstood what you meant by autofitting. In Word 2013, if you display text boundaries, they display only around existing text, whereas in previous versions they outline the page margins, showing the extent of the page available for content. Text boundaries on frames, text boxes, and tables are unchanged in Word 2013. In no version do you have any choice other than on/off.

The concept of autofitting is applied to text in table cells (it's in the Cell Options), tables themselves (AutoFit to Contents, AutoFit to Window), and text boxes (which, in versions through Word 2007, can be set to expand or contract to fit content).

How the text boundaries behave may depend on the version of Word in which the document was originally created.

You can't attach files to this forum, but you can upload a file to SkyDrive, make it public, and post a link here.

Hi dear,

Here's the link, I have uploaded it to my SkyDrive, but I don't know if it's public.

I never use SkyDrive before.

It appears that you haven't made the file public, because I can't access it. Go to the uploaded file and see which options are selected for sharing the file.

Hi dear,

I don't know how to set the file public, now I saw it's already shared.

I upload it to another network storage site, please click the link:

http://pan.baidu.com/s/1CBKd0

It's a Chinese site, you can click the button with numbers (file size) and then click button with words "普通下载" (the right button), save this file on your computer, and open it.

After you set the text boundaries showing, you can find it auto fits the contents.
