Re: See gridlines while working
You're right, I'm not making myself clear enough. In Word 2003, if I had HIDE
GRIDLINES selected, and NONE selected in borders, I could still see a gray
outline of each table cell. In Word 2007, the same settings do not give me an
outline to see what I'm working with. If I turn on gridlines, I get exactly
that, gridlines. If I turn on borders, I can see the cells but the borders
will also print. Any solutions?

You probably had "text boundaries" enabled.
