hide/show gridlines not working
Hi Yabba,
You didn't mention the version of Word you're using but there's another setting that will show table cell boundaries, independently of the gridline setting, or if the table/cells have borders. Tools=Options=View 'Text boundaries'. If turned on the Show/Hide gridline setting basically has little visible impact. Formatting the borders in white may be helpful. =============== "yabba" wrote in message ...

And of course it may also be that borders rather than gridlines are what is
wanted. If so, http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/Gridlines.htm and http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/Borders.htm are the ticket. -- Suzanne S.
