I'm creating labels (Avery #5160)...which I know how to do (select Tools,;
Letters & Mailings; Envelopes & Labels; select label size; and press New
Document), but once I select "new document", the screen is empty....just a
small square box appears in the top left hand corner. There are no grid or
formatting lines so that I can see as I type the text for each label. I have
2003 Microsoft Office version. Pls help. My e-mail address is
or 708/798-0490

In the table menu of W2003 & before or the layout tab of the table ribbon in
W2007, click show or view gridlines.

Click Table Show Gridlines.
