table borders
I'm using Word 2007. Why is it that sometimes when I choose No Border in
tables I can still see a border on the screen, although happily the border doesn't print? The second part of my question is: if I choose to see the border while I'm preparing my document then I want to remove all the borders afterwards, how can I do this without clicking on each individual border? I presume I can highlight the whole document but then I don't know what to do. -- Millie

table borders
What you're seeing is not a border but the table gridlines, which are
toggled by the View Gridlines button in the Table group on the Layout tab of the contextual Table Tools. If you have text boundaries displayed, you'll see table cell boundaries (in Print Layout view) even when gridlines are hidden. With the gridlines displayed, it should not be necessary to apply borders, but if you do, you can remove them from a given table using Alt+Ctrl+U. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks Suzanne. I hadn't considered that.
