Want table borders to default to no borders
Some versions of Word ago, I knew how to get a blank document to default to tables with no borders i.e. when I set up a table, it will have no lines (I don't mean gridlines, I know how to turn those on & off) unless I set them up in "Borders." I can't work out how to do this (now using Word in Office Small Biz 2003). I'm sure it's breathtakingly simple & I'll go, "Duh!" when one of you tells me how to do this!

You have to select TableNormal as your default table AutoFormat in Table |
Table AutoFormat. I think just selecting it and clicking the Default... button will do this, but it may be that you have to actually open Normal.dot and do it. -- Suzanne S.

Want table borders to default to no borders
Jessica,
Modify the Table Grid style. Display the Styles and Formatting Pane. Click on the right edge of th Table Grid sytle name and when the dropdown appears, click modify then format borders and shading. Select None as the border style then OK. Finally check "Add to template" -- Greg Maxey A peer in "peer to peer" support Rockledge, FL To e-mail, edit out the "w...spam" in Jessica wrote: Some versions of Word ago, I knew how to get a blank document to default to tables with no borders i.e. when I set up a table, it will have no lines (I don't mean gridlines, I know how to turn those on & off) unless I set them up in "Borders."

Want table borders to default to no borders
This ability was added in Word 2000, but I didn't think it had a Table
Normal style (i.e., anything without some kind of borders, shading, or other fancy formatting). In Word 2002, you can not only select your favorite Table AutoFormat, you can also define a table style and make it your default (it gets added to the list to choose from). -- Suzanne S.

Want table borders to default to no borders
My mistake. What I actually did was chose the autoformat option,
select style "Simple 1", uncheck the "borders" box, and tell Word to set this as the default for new tables. Sorry for the confusion. But that certainly seems to work in Word 2000 to produce a default table with no borders, shading or anything else. Sorry for the confusion -- it was late at night and I'd only just tried the method!
