For the gridlines issue - table show gridlines.
There can be amny reasons for the slow opening, but the old favourite is
Norton AV's office plug-in. Turn it off.

We print labels, eight per A4 sheet.
We designed these in Word2003 and used the
table tool to make 8 x labels, each 102 x
74mm.
This has worked well for a long time, but
suddenly the faint dotted line indicating the
table cells has disappeared from the screen,
and the documents take a long time to open -
about five times as long as before.
However any new table we make is OK.
How can we fix the old ones which number in
the 100s.
Please help, Frank
