Default Graph Paper

When I open a new word document it has the appearance of graph paper and I
can't get just a blank page. How do I fix this?

Also when I open an existing document that has been sent to me it shows
single spaced lines like notebook paper.

Default Graph Paper

If this is Word 2007, clear the check box for "Gridlines" on the View tab
(Show/Hide group). Note that this is not the correct toggle for table
gridlines; that one is on the contextual Table Tools | Layout tab.

In Word 2003 or earlier, display the Drawing toolbar and use Draw | Grid.
Clear the check box for "Show gridlines on screen."

Default Graph Paper

This topic illustrates a problem I am having with getting easy HELP for Word
'07. If I know to search for "hide gridlines" the topic and answer comes
immediately, BUT, if I don't know the lingo and search for "remove graph
lines" I get nothing helpful at all and don't know how to refine my search.
Any clues for using Word Online Search Help??

This has pretty much been a problem in all versions of Word. In such cases,
I find that using Google (or some other search engine) to search is more
effective. Almost certainly, some other user will have posted a question
using language similar to yours and received the answer I gave you (more or
less). Google will find these postings.
