Table gridlines
When I have a document containing a table and click View | Gridlines, they
do not show up. However, if I then open a new blank document, the page is full of tiny gridlines! Can anyone help, please? |

Table gridlines
Are you sure it's a table and not something created with tabs? Turn on your
non-printing characters and see what, if anything appears. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "abrielle" wrote in message ...

Table gridlines
Definitely a table - I created it!
With non-printing characters showing, I can see the end of cell/row marks. "JoAnn Paules [MVP]" wrote in message ... Are you sure it's a table and not something created with tabs?

Table gridlines
Perhaps you have inadvertently added white border lines to the table? If so,
that would explain why you cannot see the gridlines. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP (Message posted via NNTP) "abrielle" wrote in message ... Definitely a table - I created it!

Table gridlines
No, I just added borders and they show up fine! Anyway, this occurs on any
document with a table in it. On a blank document, why would a tiny grid pattern appear all over the page when I have Show Gridlines switched on? "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ...

Table gridlines
What you are describing sounds to me like the document grid. To hide it: On the
Drawing toolbar, click Draw | Grid. Clear the "Display gridlines on screen" option and click OK. On the other hand, if you are sure that it is in fact a table grid, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP (Message posted via NNTP) "abrielle" wrote in message ...

Table gridlines
Stefan has given you the steps if you're in Word 2003. If you're in Word
2007, then you've fallen into the trap of using the more discoverable Gridlines check box on the View tab of the Ribbon. Turn that off. Now click in the table, which will cause the contextual Table Tools | Design tab to be displayed. Switch to the Layout tab and click on the View Gridlines button. -- Suzanne S.
