Hello Suzanne,
I already tried to use "no fill" on the cell AND the table but to no avail.
If you like, I can send you a screenshot direct from my Outlook email but I
cannot in this posting format.
Let me know if that is OK. A picture is worth 1000 words.
Regards,
Kevin

Oh, shoot, I just reread your post and see you said *vertical* lines. Could
this mean that the paragraph has a negative right indent?
Another avenue to explore might be shading applied to the paragraph/cell.

Generally speaking, unless you have more than one paragraph of text in a
cell, you should not see paragraph marks ("carriage returns") at all. You
should see only the end-of-cell marker. I suspect that what you're seeing
is that someone has pressed Enter at the end of the cell content in a row
with an Exact height specified. The additional content (which we will hope
is merely an empty paragraph) is hidden below the bottom of the cell.
Usually, placing the insertion point before the paragraph mark and
pressing Delete will remove the unwanted and unnecessary paragraph break
and restore the (single, we hope) paragraph to its default condition as
the only paragraph in the cell, ending with the end-of-cell marker, and
you won't see the gray lines any more.
If there is still a gray line, you may see yet another paragraph mark, in
which case you can delete it, again hoping that there is not actual
content below it, just an empty paragraph. Continue until there is no more
overflow content.

I have a Word document that has faint gray lines displayed in the table
cells
where carriage returns exist. They are there no matter the viewing
format
(web layout, print layout, etc.). They show up whenever you try to view
this
particular document (someone else created the original) and interfere
with
the text if viewed on a projector and they also show up when printed out.
How can I turn off these gray lines? I have searched through many menus
and
options but I have not been successful so far.
Any ideas on what these are?
