What causes Word to display/remove lines around table cells

[faceman28208]

At one point Word was displaying a faint line around all table cells
-- even when the cells had no borders. These lines disappeared in
print/print preview.

For some reason, now Word is not displaying these lines.

How do I turn them on or off?

How do I turn them on or off?

In Word 2003 and earlier, click Table > Show Gridlines.

In Word 2007, put the cursor in a table so the Table Tools ribbon
appears, and click the View Gridlines button on the Layout tab.
