1. For a label layout, Word creates a Word table, where each cell in the
table corresponds to a label (well, it is sometimes more complicated than
that)
2. If you have susccessfully created that table, then using Show Gridlines
should show the outline of the table
3. If you cannot see the gridlines, I suposse there are two possibilities:
a. something is preventing the gridlines from displaying (I cannot think
what that could be)
b. there is no table. (Maybe you could try inserting a new table and show
gridlines to see if "show gridlines" /normally/ works? Otherwise, by all
means despam my email address (remove the "Killmaps" from
(e-mail address removed) , send me your document, and I'll see if I
can see anything)
