Hi Curious-
Table Gridlines are distinct from Table Borders, which may be the problem. Try selecting the table & using FormatBorders and Shading, set the Borders to None. You can also take a look at TableTable AutoFormat and see if there is a style without borders that will serve your need.

My Dear CyberTaz You are a genius, a wonder, and all good things! I have spent 2 days in Google, on the Web, Microsoft's Help, books on Word and everywhere except the Halls of Congress to try to find the answer to this question that only you were able to provide. Now, setting up text columns in tables is much better in many ways than using "Parallel Columns," so you would think that the answer to my question would surely be easy to find. Microsoft is very much at fault in not providing the instructions that only you were able to. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! No longer curious |

Thanks to CyberTaz's genious answer, I realized you can simply go to Format,
then Borders/Shading and change the color lines from black to white! That makes them competely disappear! And if you are using colored paper, well just match the color from the color table to the paper and you should have no problems!

How do I avoid printing table gridlines in Word?
Two mistakes he
1. You can remove borders entirely; they don't have to be any color. To do so, choose None in the Format | Borders and Shading dialog. 2. White borders do not print white; they just don't print. If you choose colored borders to match your paper color, they will print colored and will show up on the paper; white borders, on the other hand, will not print. But neither will No Border. -- Suzanne S.
