Background lines in Word 2003
When I open documents sent to me by email in Word 2003 they have a background
which appears like lined paper or squares. This makes reading the document very difficult. If I create a new document from Word I do not get these lines. Opening the same documents on other computers in Word 2003 does not produce the lines. I have tried repairing Word and re-installing but this has not helped. Does anyone know what has happened |

Ordinarily I would think this was a grid issue. If it's possible to set grid
display by template, that might still be true. In the document, display the Drawing toolbar, then select Draw | Grid and clear the check box (if checked) for "Show gridlines on screen." -- Suzanne S.

I confess I'm surprised, as I had thought this was an application-wide
setting. -- Suzanne S.
