Can't remove outline boxes from resume
I've just finished creating my resume but there seems to be outlining boxes surrounding text. Opening the document in Word 2007 removes the unwanted boxes but they appear in 2003. I could simply save it as a Word 2007 document but I'm afraid that this would possibly conflict with employers who run Word 2003. How can I remove these boxes in Microsoft Office 2003? I've provided links to screenshots of the document opened in Word 2007 and 2003 to give you a solid picture of the problem: Word 2007- http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2405/...5408457a_o.jpg Word 2003- http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2245/...0f3bcffb_o.jpg Thanks for the help. -- RyanT |

The resume is built in a table. Word will display nonprinting gridlines if that's turned on (Word 2003: Table Show Gridlines; Word 2007: Table Tools Layout View Gridlines). When the gridlines are turned off, all you see are the printable borders that are turned on (the horizontal lines you see in the Word 2007 screen shot). When you send a Word document to someone else, you can't control whether or not they see gridlines. The best you can do is set all the "invisible" table borders to white color instead of "none", which would hide the gridlines. An alternative is to publish the Word document to PDF and send that out. If you don't already have the PDF add-in for Word 2007, download it from the Microsoft web site: http://office.microsoft.com/search/r...0 11033&CTT=5 -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
