Hiding Table Borders When Printing
Is it possible to print Word tables without having the table borders show up
on the printed page. I have 6 tables on an A4 page with each table separated with a line border which I would prefer not to show the printed copy. Can anyone tell me how to do this? I am using Word 2007 on Vista |

Hiding Table Borders When Printing
Don't apply borders. You can still display table gridlines.

Thank you your reply Suzanne but that reply maybe useful if I hadn't already started my Word document, but the fact being I had finished it and my colleague asked me to remove the borders and after some searching through the Word program I turned to this discussion group for help. So with your brief and cold reply I went searching again through the Word program tonight and found what I was looking for. So for the benefit of those Word users who may at sometime want to know the route to remove table borders, here goes. In Word 2007, select "Page Layout", "Page Background" then "Page Borders" which opens to "Borders and Shading". Select "Borders" tab and on the left is a "Setting" list where you can chose your preference of border styles, the first being "None". For a display with no borders choose "None" and on the right side of the page where it reads "apply to" select Table and click OK. The table borders will disappear from your document. I'm not sure but this route may apply to earlier versions of Word but I hope it helps somebody else out there. Irisheyes are smiling now. |

Hiding Table Borders When Printing
Ctrl+Alt+U will remove borders from a table. Alternatively, select the table
with the table handle and select No Border on the dropdown from the Borders button in the Paragraph group on the Home tab. Your question suggested that you wanted to use borders in order to be able to see cell boundaries but didn't want them to print. You didn't ask how to *remove* borders but how to "hide" them. -- Suzanne S.

Hiding Table Borders When Printing
Thanks Suzanne for your knowledgeable reply, so now I have 3 routes to solving my problem, yours being shorter routes than mine which I have tested and they work incredibily quick, the Ctrl + Alt + U being the winner. OK you were right about me stating "Hide" and not "Remove" in my question but I didn't realise the two differences when wanting to omit the borders for printing purposes. Thank you again Suzanne for your time "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Ctrl+Alt+U will remove borders from a table.
