Thin blue lines "davidrafky" <davidrafky[ at ]bellsouth.net> 10/22/2008 4:07:54 AM Someone sent me an MSWord document. Some of the words in the text seem to be embedded in rectangles constructed of thin blue lines. What are these "boxes" and how can I eliminate them? Thanx in advance. Dave Rafky Miami FL

Re: Thin blue lines "Rich/rerat" <rrr_news[ at ]isp.com> 10/22/2008 3:08:46 PM davidrafky, Open the Word document, under FILE> Print Preview. 1. If the lines are not present in the print preview. The creator of the document used a Table, to help with how the document looked or was laid out, before it was printed. 2. Look under Help in Word to find out how to hide and show borders in tables. 3. I usually just highlight the whole table once it's setup, change the color of the border lines to white, and then the gridlines are not visible. -- Add MS to your News Reader: news://msnews.microsoft.com Rich/rerat (RRR News) <message rule> <<Previous Text Snipped to Save Bandwidth When Appropriate>> "Terry Farrell" <terryfarrell[ at ]msn.com> wrote in message news:1C9B847F-1307-4C3C-80AD-0475E3633D7C[ at ]microsoft.com...
