Word 2007
All,
Stupid issue really - When I first open WORD2007, my typing page has what looks like grid lines, or graph paper all over it........it even prints that way....! Question is really, how can I get it to start up with the traditional 'blank' page. Thanks in advance for any help. Cheers |

Word 2007
In Word 2003 and earlier, you would display the Drawing toolbar, choose Draw
| Grid and clear the check box for "Display gridlines on screen." From the Word 2007 Command Reference, your best bet looks like Drawing Tools | Format | Arrange | Align | Grid Settings or perhaps Page Layout | Arrange | Align | Grid Settings. -- Suzanne S.

....or in the View ribbon tab, click the Gridlines checkbox (in the Show/Hide
section of the ribbon). Although... if your gridlines are also being printed, then it sound like something else might be going on as well. The gridlines are guides, and are not supposed to be printed. It might be that you actually have some kind of background wallpaper or pattern that's being used for your documents, and which has been set as your default. If turning off gridlines doesn't do the trick, try this: In the Page Layout ribbon, Page Background section, click Page Color and set it to No Color. If this fixes it for you, and you're still getting gridlines when creating a new document, then you'll need to edit Normal.dotm and turn the Page Color setting off there. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP http://www.herbtyson.com Author of the Word 2007 Bible Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along.
