Default Template question

Where do i find Table Tools ?

A couple of points:

- Whenever you post a question in the newsgroups, it's important to
mention what version of Word you're using, especially because it's Word
2007 which is very different from previous versions.

- You certainly should be able to select the table, in any of several ways
(place the cursor just above the top of the table so it's a black downward
arrow and click there; click on the little box with four arrows that
appears next to the table's toop left corner; or click anywhere in the
table, go to the Table Tools Layout ribbon, and click Select Select
Table). In fact, it turns out not to be necessary -- just click anywhere
in the table. On the Table Tools Design ribbon, click the down arrow on
the Borders button and choose Borders and Shading at the bottom of the
menu.

- When the dialog appears, follow the steps I already listed below.

I have a Calendar template that has colored lines.
Is there anyway to change the color of the lines to black ?

I can't say for certain because I don't know what's in your
template, but most calendar templates in Word are built with tables.
The lines are borders
of the table cells. So to change the color, you select the table and
click Format Borders and Shading. On the Borders tab of the
dialog, make sure the Apply To box says "Table" (not "Cell" or
"Paragraph"). Then open the Color dropdown and choose the black
square (or, usually, Automatic is equivalent to black).
