Actually, you don't. If you have gridlines displayed (which Emma obviously
didn't), then they display in both Normal and Print Layout views. If you
have text boundaries displayed, then you get display of cell boundaries in
Print Layout view even if you don't have gridlines displayed.

You need both Table Show gridlines and 'Text boundaries' on Tools
Options : View.

I have been using tables in Word for years - all of a sudden, there are
no
gridlines in any of my documents with tables although it indicates "Show
gridlines" in the TABLE pull-down menu - I am wondering what has
happened
and
what to do?
