Cannot see my grid lines when working in a table

Hello

I have to create tables which does not have any borders. So when I create my table I always select it and turn off the lines from the borders toolbar.

I cannot understand why my table gridlines also disappears. I cannot see my table when this happens. Please can you help?

Thank You.

RE: Cannot see my grid lines when working in a table

Hi

This problem is due to your Table menu, displaying Show Gridlines. This means that your table gridlines are off.

To turn on, select Table menu, choose Show Gridlines and your table gridlines will display.

Because you have turned off the borders when you type your data and choose Print Preview you will only see your written text with no border lines.

Hope this helps.

Word tip:

Now you see it, now you don't - hidden text in Word

Did you know you can choose to temporarily hide text in a Word document? The text is still part of the document, but it won't appear on screen unless you choose to have it displayed.

Here's how:

1. Highlight (select) the text you wish to hide.

2. Go to Format - Font.

3. In the Effects section of the Font dialogue box, tick 'Hidden'.

4. Click OK.

The portion of text you have chosen to hide should no longer be visible on your screen, unless you have the Show/Hide button turned on.

If you can see the hidden text in your document, and you haven't got the Show/Hide button turned on then:

1. Go to Tools - Options - View.

2. Under the 'Formatting marks' section, deselect Hidden text.

5. Click OK.
