I am having difficulty getting the borders to be hidden. I have created a
survey using a table that has merged and split cells. In the sections with
split cells it is my intention to "hide" the top and bottom lines as to
create a "check mark" box before the rating word. So I have tried to select
the cell that I need to remove the ceiling and floor in, however, it does
nothing for the formatting of the cell. Is there something else that I need
to be doing? Any help is appreciated!!

Are you sure you aren't just seeing the table's Gridlines? Try TableHide
Gridlines first to see if that clears it up. The gridlines don't print
regardless of whether they're Hidden or Shown.

Otherwise, I'm not real clear on your intent so there may be other [better]
approaches, but the simplest way to selectively remove borders is to turn on
the Tables & Borders toolbar, select the Eraser tool & click the borders you
want to remove. Just keep in mind that the tool doesn't only remove the
visible line but actually removes the cell 'wall'.

However, with merged/split cells there may be some borders that can't
[easily] be removed or you may want the line to not show but still have
individual cells. In that case you can use the Border Color (pencil) tool on
the same bar to change the color of such borders to white.

I'll try the pencil option. I can't remove the lines altogether because of
the way I have the table set up. It would ruin the formatting of the survey.
Thank you for your suggestion! I appreciate it!
