Hi Markus,
Although you can include AutoNew and AutoOpen macros in the template that
would turn off the gridlines, it's much harder to be sure that the gridlines
are turned on again when the user closes your document or switches to
another document if that's what their initial setting was.
A better approach is to use Format Borders & Shading to turn on all the
table borders in your template and set their color to white. That will hide
the gridlines if they're turned on, but won't affect any other documents.

Hi
I make some forms, in which some elements are layed out with tables. I
save the template with "Table / Show gridlines" turned off - anyway
when the document is opened, the gridlines are visible again.
Can I set gridlines turned off in the document by default? (Word 2002)
Or, as a workaround, is there an option where the users of the
templates can set this as a default for their Words?
Thanks
Markus
