I wouldn't know, of course, because I have both displayed at all times and
rarely use Print Layout view, anyway.

That's how it should be, Suzanne, but there's some mysterious subtlety in
there. Some combinations of those settings leave the gridlines hidden even
though they are 'on' according to the Tables menu option.

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?
