The only explanation I can think of for this (aside from printer driver
issues) would be the following scenario:
1. You create a document based on Normal.dot or another document template.
2. You open the document on another computer; if you used a template other
than Normal.dot, a template with the same name is present on the second
computer.
3. The template in question has a different Table AutoFormat selected as the
default.
4. "Automatically update document styles" is enabled for the template in
question; the table style would be updated to the different formatting
(borders rather than no borders).
This seems pretty far-fetched, though.

Grid lines in tables are supposed to be not printable. The first time I
print
my document, the do indeed not show in print. When I print again they show
(sometimes), and also (hidden) borders. When I close and restart Word, the
first time printing is OK again. Print preview is always OK.
My printer is HP Laserjet 4250 tn, but it occurs also with other printers.
I
do have the right printer drivers (I think).
Tables are used in the headers of thousands of letters we send, so a
solution would be very welcome.
