Tables in WRD 2003
Hi
I've got a very long table with several columns and 100 or more rows. The table borders are a solid line now but I want to get rid of the borders altogether. Is there a way I can do this with a couple of clicks rather than having to click on each and every line? -- Jackie D |

If I understand the situation, you could select the whole table and
eliminate the border between rows (the middle horizontal line in the border dialog). "Jackie D" wrote in message ... Hi I've got a very long table with several columns and 100 or more rows.

To remove all borders: Select the whole table, for example, by
pressing Alt+5 (use the 5 on the numeric keypad) with NUMLOCK turned off. Then, on the Format menu, click Borders and Shading. Click the "None" option. Make sure that "Apply to" is set to "Table," and click OK. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Jackie D" wrote in message ... Hi I've got a very long table with several columns and 100 or more rows.

Even easier. Place the selection in the table and then hold down the Ctrl
and the Alt keys and press u. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Good point. But Ctrl+Alt+u won't work if the borders were applied as
an AutoFormat or a table style. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote in message ... Even easier.

My mistake! It does work in Word 2003, even with a table

I thought so but wasn't going to argue with you since I never use table
styles/AutoFormats. g -- Suzanne S.

I avoid them too. My comment was based on a quick test in Word 2000
(where the shortcut does not clear the AutoFormat, but it does clear the default simple borders applied to a table created without selecting an AutoFormat). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S.
