Word 2003 is great, but why do Bill and his mates always have to randomly
disable features that worked fine every time they upgrade software? In
previous versions of Word, you could show or hide gridlines at any point, in
any view. Table properties could be edited, and cell borders moved, in any
view.
I just struggled for an hour trying to change column widths and show/hide
gridlines in a Table, but these options are greyed out, whatever you do -
unless you switch to Normal view, when they miraculously become available
again .. thought you might like to know. Worse still, I cannot find any tip
on this in Word Help or online support.

Don't be so quick to blame the tool. In W2003, as in previous versions,
table properties are available in all views except Print Preview. Your
problem lies elsewhere.
