I keep getting a page of lines
I've been doing my work this morning and all of a sudden, one of my documents
ends up having a "background" of lines. This isn't set up as a background and the lines don't actually print. When I open up a new blank document, the "blank" page is also completely lined, almost like stationary. Although the lines aren't printing, this is extremely distracting as I type. I don't know how to get rid of this, as it's not showing up in my formatting nor is it set up as a background. |

The problem could be that you have somehow turned on gridlines:
In the Drawing toolbar, select Draw Grid. Is €śDisplay gridlines on screen€ť turned on? If yes, turn it off - and you need to save the changed setting in Normal.dot: in the Drawing Grid dialog box, click the Default button and click Yes in the dialog box that opens. Click OK twice. To save Normal.dot, press and hold the Shift key and select File Save All. If a dialog box opens, asking whether you want to save changes to Normal.dot, click Yes. -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "Vicky" wrote: I've been doing my work this morning and all of a sudden, one of my documents ends up having a "background" of lines.

Thank you! That did it! I have no idea how I managed to do that, since I
don't use the drawing toolbar at all, but my computer acts on its own sometimes. Thank you again!
