Gridline pattern - impossible to remove

[Rolfie]

When I open a new empty word document or open an already existing document,
which was OK in the past, the page is filled with a squared gridline pattern
which is, at least for me, impossible to get rid off.

It does'nt show up in preview or when printing the document but it is very
annoying whe editing. It has nothing to do with non-printable character or
inserted picture.

How do I remove the gridline pattern? Any help

Gridlines is controlled by the Drawing Menu, usually at the bottom of the
Word window if the toolbar is activated. Drawing Grid dialog box , at the
bottom, Display gridlines on screen.

If you are turnin g this off but they reappear when you open new session
maybe this needs turning off in the Normal.dot, see

Hope this helps
