Hiding table gridlines for particular documents (Word 2002)
I understand it is possible to show or hide table gridlines globally, but am
wondering if it is possible to hide gridlines for specific documents (or even a specific table). The issue here is documents are sent to clients and we would rather not have the gridlines show up (so this setting - if it exists - would need to be document specific, not application specific). I realize this is a cosmetic issue but wanted to see if there was a solution. TIA, Mike |

Not really. Unless you want clients to be making changes to your documents,
though, you should not be sending them in Word format anyway. You can print to a pdf document if you have the right software. (You can put a macro in your document to turn off display of gridlines when it is opened, but that will probably scare your clients with a macro warning rather than impress them with a clean-looking document.) -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Covering up the borders is a great idea - and has the bonus of being table
specific (the autonew/autoclose option would be document specific). Thanks! Mike "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...
