Display the Drawing toolbar. Click the Draw menu at the left end, then Grid,
and uncheck "Display gridlines on screen".

I wish I had a nickel for everyone who uninstalls and reinstalls Office when
it wouldn't do any good... ;-)

Hi

In Word, when using Print Layout View, the page is having this
background - looking like a net with small squares. I just don't
know how it got there, and I don't know how to get rid of it. When
switching to Normal view, then the background is blank as normal.

I'm not sure this would consider as background or not because when I
click Format | Background, No Fill is selected.

I uninstalled and reinstalled Office, but the bugger didn't go away.
What a drag!

Please let me know what this is.

Thanks
Steve
