I can't make a toggle button to toggle on/off with one button, the Show Text Boundaries tick box in Tools\Options\View\Print and Web Layout options

Put the following macro in your template and then use the Customize dialog
box to put a button for the macro on a custom toolbar.

Sub ToggleTBView()
ActiveWindow.View.ShowTextBoundaries = Not _
ActiveWindow.View.ShowTextBoundaries
End Sub
