Unwanted lines in Word Documents
Please help...I've tried everything I can.
Whenever I open a new word document, or an existing document, I am seeing horizontal lines running across the entire page. And, whenever I open a newsletter from a template that I've been using, I see lines running horizontally AND vertically, so that it looks like tiny little boxes all over the page. This happens to me when I am in the "Print Layout View" and not the "Normal" view. I open documents in Print layout view and I can only see the lines in this view. I've turned off the "Show Gridlines" option on the page, there is no background on the documents, and I cannot select the lines. |

Unwanted lines in Word Documents
The "Show Gridlines" you referred to is probably the one on the Table menu,
which applies only to tables. The lines you see are controlled by a different setting. Display the Drawing toolbar. Click the Draw button at the left end and choose Grid from the popup menu. In the dialog that appears, uncheck "Display gridlines on screen". -- 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.
