That will cover the major problem. As for the gridlines, display the Drawing
toolbar, choose Draw | Grid, and clear the check box for "Show gridlines on
screen."

I have office 2003 (been using office for Years) I downloaded updates a
couple weeks ago (not sure if that is the issue) but...
First I always use the print view to work on my documents, now my views
are
different Like - there is gridlines or some kind of grids that show in
the
back ground.
BIG issue right now is- I have spend 10 hours writing and saving word
documents, but something happened, Most are not anywhere.... While I was
working on some I noticed when I clicked save as - then went on to
change
some things then clicked save as (and of course renamed it) and kept
doing
that to about 15 documents even though when I took a break and came back
I
checked one and it was not saved correctly, I thought it was probable me
so I
re typed it and saved it, However it is still not there...

Anywone know what is going on?

Thanks,
