hi there,

made my resume on Word using the Vitae template from the Project Gallery. There are light gray gridlines where my job experience is, and they won't disappear.

I tried going to Table and unclicking gridlines, that appears to work but then when i save it and re-open-- the gridlines are back.

am going bananas! any ideas? thanks.

I've tried using that template without being able to reproduce what you're
experiencing. Once the Gridlines are off they stay off no matter how many
times I open/close the file. That suggests that there is something about
your specific file that has gone flaky Try doing a "Maggie"...

Select All (Command+A), then Shift+LeftArrow to "deselect" the last ¶.
Copy the file, then paste to a new blank document.

See if the new file behaves the same way. If it does the table itself may be
corrupt... Do the Gridlines of the other tables reappear in the same way?
