Default Tables in WRD 2003

Hi

I've got a very long table with several columns and 100 or more rows. The
table borders are a solid line now but I want to get rid of the borders
altogether.

Is there a way I can do this with a couple of clicks rather than having to
click on each and every line?

If I understand the situation, you could select the whole table and
eliminate the border between rows (the middle horizontal line in the border
dialog).

To remove all borders: Select the whole table, for example, by
pressing Alt+5 (use the 5 on the numeric keypad) with NUMLOCK turned
off. Then, on the Format menu, click Borders and Shading. Click the
"None" option. Make sure that "Apply to" is set to "Table," and click
OK.

Even easier. Place the selection in the table and then hold down the Ctrl
and the Alt keys and press u.

Good point. But Ctrl+Alt+u won't work if the borders were applied as
an AutoFormat or a table style.

My mistake! It does work in Word 2003, even with a table
AutoFormat/style applied.

I thought so but wasn't going to argue with you since I never use table
styles/AutoFormats. g
