In older versions of MS Word I could create tables with invisible cell
boundaries by choosing "None" in Border Settings, and making sure that the
"Text Boundaries" option is Unchecked at Tools\Options\View\Print & Web
Layout Options. I am now working in MS Word 2002 and this process is not
working. The cell boundaries, that I do not want to be visible, are showing
up with grayed borders. These gray borders do not print, but I also do not
want them visible when the file is being viewed electronically. Any advise
is appreciated!

What you're seeing are the table gridlines
(http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/Gridlines.htm). Although
you can turn them off for your PC, you can't control whether others
have them turned on or off.

A trick that usually works is to turn on all the table's borders
(Format Borders & Shading) and color them white. That will hide the
gridlines if they're turned on, but will be invisible unless the
person has set the window background color for all Windows programs to
something other than white. (I happen to be one of those people. g)
