No gridlines in table
I have been using tables in Word for years - all of a sudden, there are no
gridlines in any of my documents with tables although it indicates "Show gridlines" in the TABLE pull-down menu - I am wondering what has happened and what to do? |

Emma,
Clicke the item TableShow gridlines. It will toggle and display "Hide gridlines." Then the gridlines should be visible. -- Greg Maxey/Word MVP A Peer in Peer to Peer Support Emma Riley wrote: I have been using tables in Word for years - all of a sudden, there are no gridlines in any of my documents with tables although it indicates "Show gridlines" in the TABLE pull-down menu - I am wondering what has happened and what to do? |

You need both Table Show gridlines and 'Text boundaries' on Tools
Options : View. "Emma Riley" Emma wrote in message ... I have been using tables in Word for years - all of a sudden, there are no gridlines in any of my documents with tables although it indicates "Show gridlines" in the TABLE pull-down menu - I am wondering what has happened and what to do? |

Actually, you don't. If you have gridlines displayed (which Emma obviously
didn't), then they display in both Normal and Print Layout views. If you have text boundaries displayed, then you get display of cell boundaries in Print Layout view even if you don't have gridlines displayed. -- Suzanne S.

That's how it should be, Suzanne, but there's some mysterious subtlety in
there. Some combinations of those settings leave the gridlines hidden even though they are 'on' according to the Tables menu option. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... Actually, you don't.

I wouldn't know, of course, because I have both displayed at all times and
rarely use Print Layout view, anyway. -- Suzanne S.
