Cell borders in a Table do not display on the monitor screen
Word 2002. On my wife's computer (Windows XP) the cell borders in a table
are not displayed on the monitor. Paragraph marks do display; end of cell marks do display; however, the faint outline of each cell -- which I have ALWAYS seen whenever I have used WORD anywhere -- are not displayed. She would like the borders to display so it is obvious that she is working in a table. The table is set up so that the borders are invisible when printed. And, I know that I could work around this by putting in visible borders that would print, then removing them before printing. But, that seems like a real indirect way to achieve what she and I would like. Is there some display option switch that I cannot find that will make the expected faint table outline appear on her monitor screen? -- Best Regards, Bo_Jack |

Hello Bo_Jack,
It sounds like she has Hidden the table gridlines. Go to Table + Show Gridlines at the bottom of the menu. If the problem persists post again. Judith Bo_Jack wrote: Word 2002.
