Hi everyone

I am a newbie here and look forward to gaining some knowledge ..

I was trying to create some pages with columns and suddenly my pages were covered in a `mini` grid of tiny squares - I dont know if this has activated a default as the grid now appear on all my documents.
I am just learning MW so forgive my lack of knowledge.

Thanks.

Hi
After a lot of trial and error I found the problem - I clicked on view and un-ticked `gridlines` - problem solved. I have no idea how I added them in the first place.
Thanks anyway.

I'm not sure how you turned it on -- there are probably several ways
to do it -- but here's a way to turn it off. (Assuming you have a
recent version of Word with a Ribbon.)

On the Page Layout tab, click on the tiny arrow at the lower right of
the Page Setup group. Go to the Document Grid tab. At the bottom is a
button for Drawing Grid. That opens a panel with a checkbox for
"Display Gridlines on Screen" -- uncheck that.

(There's probably a much easier way to turn it on and off, but that's
also the place where you'd change its size etc.)

Hi Peter

Thank you for taking the time to reply to my problem, I did resolve this by trial and error more or less as you suggest.

Thank you very much.
