Background grid in print view
igenr8 12/30/2008 1:22:00 AM
Somehow I accidentally changed MS Word 2007 so every time I open a document,
either a new or old one, it opens with a pale blue grid background. It only
does that in print view and does not print the grid. It does not show the
grid in drsft or full screen view. I cannot figure out what I did to cause
thia and can't see to find anything in MS Word Help. It must be for drawing
or smething. It does not seem to be a watermark but I cannot get rid of it.
Does anyone know what this is?

On the Page Layout tab of the ribbon, click the Align button and uncheck the
View Gridlines item.
