Table Gridlines
Hi,
I have filled in a CV form, which is the EU official one, the problem is that although I keep on hiding the gridlines, next time I open the CV they show up again, even if I saved the file with hidden gridlines. My fear is that people receiving the CV get the gridlines when they open the file, which is not very nice. Can you suggest me how to solve this? Thank you -- Alex |

Table Gridlines
AFAIK all you can do is set a border color the same as the document
background color. -- Greg Maxey/Word MVP See: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tips.htm For some helpful tips using Word.

Table Gridlines
Well, not really, the lines I see are light grey (gridlines) but if I go to
the table, there are no borders! -- Alex "Greg Maxey" wrote in message ...

Table Gridlines
I think that if the reader has Tools Options View tab Text Boundaries
turned on, all table cells will be surrounded by thin, dotted lines anyway (like the text boundaries). -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "Greg Maxey" wrote: AFAIK all you can do is set a border color the same as the document background color. -- Greg Maxey/Word MVP See: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tips.htm For some helpful tips using Word.

Table Gridlines
If I have a white background and white borders then the gridlines don't show
regardless of the users show/hide gridlines. If I have a white background and "no" borders then light grey gridlines will show if the user has opted to display gridlines. -- Greg Maxey/Word MVP See: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tips.htm For some helpful tips using Word.

Table Gridlines
I would think people are much more likely to have Table Gridlines on
than Text Boundaries. But a quick test here suggests that white borders on white paper also prevents Text Boundaries from showing up (MacWord 2004). The visible gridlines show as text boundaries, but the white borders do not show at all.

Hi Metallo

My fear is that people receiving the CV get the gridlines when they open the file, which is not very nice. after the technical answers: are you sure you want/have to propagate the CV while it is still in *.doc format? I would choose PDF if at all possible -- properly done, the layout will be stable no matter what's installed on the receiver's machine, no view options can really mess with your document, etc. 2¢ Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word |
