That looks exactly like openoffice does, which is one reason i use abiword or office instead – Journeyman Geek Aug 15 '11 at 12:15

Thank you bu this does not help. This border is not a property of the document (it will not be printed), but is rather some option in Word that makes it display all documets like this. – dima.chornyi Aug 15 '11 at 12:50
