TO JAY FREEDMAN,
Your psychic mind-reader hat was spot on. I did indeed want to email
my cv and not show the gridlines.
TO Suzanne S. BARNHILL. thanks for the link......
(http://home.earthlink.net/~wordfaqs/HideGridlines.htm.)
It may not of deleted the gridlines, But did a bloody good job of
hiding them.
Many thanks to the both of you for taking the time to help a complete
stranger.
PS.. I do still have one 'Grey'line on my doc that I cannot seem to
remove.
On the Left hand side of the 'Grey' line there appears to be some sort
of 'cross' within a small square. Is there a way to remove it?
Thanks Regardless
Peter.

Well, the solution to that (insofar as it exists) is presented in
http://home.earthlink.net/~wordfaqs/HideGridlines.htm.

Reading the original post with my psychic mind-reader hat on, I
suspect that Mr Hull wants to send the CV electronically to a
potential employer, and wants to make sure the gridlines never appear.
The answer is that this is not possible -- if the employer wants to
turn on gridlines, he or she can do it at will.

You can show/hide the gridlines from the Table menu. You can remove
borders
from Format | Borders and Shading or by pressing Ctrl+Alt+U. Or you
can
convert the table to text (Table | Convert | Table to Text) if what
you
really want is to remove the text from the table.

I created My CV in Excel, then copied and pasted the Doc into Word
2003.
when I open the document in Word the gridlines (cells from Excel)
appear.
I realise that I can hide the gridlines (cells) in Word 2003.
But what I would really like to do is DELETE the gridlines totally.
Can this be done.

Many Thanks
Mr Hull
