What you are describing sounds to me like the document grid. To hide it: On the
Drawing toolbar, click Draw | Grid. Clear the "Display gridlines on screen"
option and click OK.

On the other hand, if you are sure that it is in fact a table grid, see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm.

No, I just added borders and they show up fine! Anyway, this occurs on any
document with a table in it.

On a blank document, why would a tiny grid pattern appear all over the page
when I have Show Gridlines switched on?

Perhaps you have inadvertently added white border lines to the table? If so,
that would explain why you cannot see the gridlines.

Definitely a table - I created it!

With non-printing characters showing, I can see the end of cell/row marks.

Are you sure it's a table and not something created with tabs? Turn on your
non-printing characters and see what, if anything appears.

When I have a document containing a table and click View | Gridlines, they
do not show up.

However, if I then open a new blank document, the page is full of tiny
gridlines!

Can anyone help, please?
