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). -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Template question
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. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. desgnr wrote: I can't select the table.

Template question
The Table Tools tab will appear on the ribbon only when the cursor is in a
table. (There are lots of these "contextual" tabs that appear only when a corresponding object is selected in the document, such as picture tools, text box tools, header/footer tools...) That's why I said "click anywhere in the table" just before I mentioned Table Tools. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. desgnr wrote: It is Word 2007 Where do i find Table Tools ?
