Master Page, create a rectangle 9 x 11.5, center it, fill it white, no line.
Create a rectangle 8.5 x 11, overlay it over the first rectangle, this will show
the page limitations. You will have to use lines or another rectangle on the
Master Page to delineate your margins. The guides will not show.
Seems a lot of trouble to do all that above, it is such a small shadow...
CorelDraw has a similar shadow, after awhile you get use to it being there.
