Lines After Each Hard Return in Print Layout Mode in Word 2013

Both at home and at work I have Office 2013.  On my work computer, below every hard return there is a non-solid line from margin to margin.  Visually I find this very annoying.  However, on my home computer these lines do not appear, so there must be a way to turn them off.  I have compared the options settings on both computers and have not been able to discover how to do so.

So my question is, how can I permanently turn off these very annoying and distracting lines?  And, for future reference, what is that feature called?

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

David

Answer

What you describe could be text boundaries (which used to be useful, but no longer are). Click File tab | Options | Advanced. Clear "Show text boundaries" under "Show document content," if it is selected.
