You just aren't seeing the gridlines.
From the Help file:
Display or hide gridlines
Gridlines show the cell boundaries of a table on the screen wherever the
table doesn't have borders applied. If you hide the gridlines in a table
that has borders, you won't see the change because the gridlines are behind
the borders. To view the gridlines, remove the borders.
Unlike borders, gridlines appear only on the screen; they are never printed.
If you turn off gridlines, the table is displayed as it will be printed.
Note Gridlines are not visible when you view a document in a Web browser
or in Print Preview.
Display or hide table gridlines in a document
Under Table Tools, on the Layout tab

Because when I click to open the template, it opens a word document with a
blank screen -- no grid. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

Since Word 2007 can open 2003 files, why do you say they are no longer
compatible?

We upgraded to Office 2007. Templates we had been using to make call
numbers, etc., are no longer compatible with Word 2007. Most important
loss
are these Demco labels which fit 7 across and 7 down on letter size.
Does
a
template already exist for this? or how do I begin to reinvent the
wheel?
