Black horizontal line on blank Word document

[Sheebacat]

New user.  I chose blank document.  Why does my type appear in a black horizontal box?  How do I get a white page?

Maybe one of the darker Office Themes have been selected? 

If this is Word for Windows, you can click File > Options > General and choose "White" or "Colorful" for "Office Theme."

If you are in draft view, this is part of the user interface and does not print.
