Word 2013's crop marks aren't very useful because (a) they don't print, (b) they hug the edge of the text instead of the desired margins, and (c) they ignore the position of the footer. Has anyone developed a scheme for printable crop marks that are positioned
where they are needed?
See http://WordFAQs.mvps.org/CropMarks.htm. Note that the method is tedious at the outset, but if you save the cropmarks as AutoText or some other kind
of building blocks, then they are easy to insert thereafter.
Rereading that article, I see it needs to be edited for Word 2013, where text boundaries are useless for the purpose suggested (there are other points that need to be updated as well).
