Word uses unique characters and formatting to display
specialized document elements, such as bookmarks, crop marks, text
boundaries and wrapping, and background colors and images. You can set
options on the Advanced pane in Word Options to show or hide these
elements when you work on a document. In addition, you can also show or
hide Word window elements, such as scroll bars, shortcut keys, and the
vertical ruler. If you want to change the number of recent documents
shown on the File tab or the units of measurement used in a document,
you can set the options on the Advanced pane.
