See gridlines while working
Never mind, I came across a similar question and solved my problem. Thank you
anyway!

In 2003 I could hide the gridlines, but they would still be visible
in gray while I used the table, making it much easier to position
everything properly. Now with 2007, when it's on HIDE I can't see the
gridlines at all, and when it's on SHOW they print unless I put it
back on HIDE. Is there a way to see them like I could with the
earlier version?
I wonder if you're confusing table gridlines and table borders. Borders
print, but gridlines don't. See
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/Gridlines.htm for an explanation.
In Word 2007, table gridlines are controlled by the View Gridlines button on
the left end of the Table Tools Layout ribbon. The borders are controlled
by the Borders button on the Table Tools Design ribbon.
