Printing Grid (2003)

Topic

Hi,
A simple question here. I have a document that contains a list of group members in one column, their phone numbers in the second column, and another column that contains more relevant data. I don’t know Excel, so I used Word to create a table. The problem is that when I print it out, the grid disappears. I can’t seem to find a way to get the table grid to print in either Word or WordPerfect. Without the printed grid, it’s difficult to visually keep the information in the three columns separate. Can anyone tell me how to get the table’s gridlines to print? Thanks.

Hi

Select the whole table then either right click on the table and select “Borders and Shading…” or select “Format>Borders and Shading…” from the menu. You can set the borders on the borders tab. Your tables currently have no borders set, and what you are seeing are the gridlines that do not print.

Thanks, Tony. That worked well. One of these centuries, I’m going to make a concerted effort to really learn Word, and will get myself weaned from WordPerfect, although I still miss Leading Edge Word Processing!
