Hide gridlines ?
Ive benefited from help here; and Id appreciate a bit more, if someone has
time: I have made an 3-column index, with gridlines showing, [using Word 2002 €“WinXP] and I think that I used TableInsert Table to select the number of columns and rows €“but I cant positively remember . The index is now unwieldly €“ is taking up an unreasonable amount of space. [11.2 MB to index a paper only 10 Kb long €“ there are some duplications which will eventually be eliminated, but that wont amount to very much]. QUESTION: how can I reduce the size of that monster by removing the gridlines ? Ive tried TableHide gridlines, but that isnt getting to the gridlines. TIA |

Gridlines don't print. What you probably have are borders. Select the table,
then Format Borders and shading. Select none. Does that get rid of the 'gridlines' (borders)? -- Rae Drysdale "john" wrote: Ive benefited from help here; and Id appreciate a bit more, if someone has time: I have made an 3-column index, with gridlines showing, [using Word 2002 €“WinXP] and I think that I used TableInsert Table to select the number of columns and rows €“but I cant positively remember .

Show/Hide Gridlines is solely for how the table displays on your monitor.
If you are referring to lines in the table when you print you need to select the table, click Borders and Shadings and select None. Your lines should be gone. However, I don't think this will make much difference in the size of the document or table. Word tables can get really big really easily. I have no experience with it but did you get this huge table using Word's indexing? "john" wrote in message ...

Thanks to Rae and Joe - works perfectly - I would never have gotten it
otherwise. My Word book doesn't mention this,even when I know what I'm looking for ! "Joe McGuire" wrote: Show/Hide Gridlines is solely for how the table displays on your monitor.
