Word problem!

[ingeborgdot]

I opened up a word document yesterday and for some reason it had gridlines throughout it. I had never had that on that document before. I went and looked at other documents and they all had them too. Now when I open up and start new documents in print view there is gridlines. What gives and how do I get rid of them???

Is it just word with the lines?
Which version of word fo you have?

Office 2003. It looks like graph paper.

It may be that there is a background there - go to Format > Background > click no background.
Did that work?

Are there tables or drawings on the page?
You should be able to VIEW or HIDE gridlines from the menu.

Another way might be because the normal.dot template is spoiled - find it and delete it - Word will create a new one automatically.

Solution was
Click on View -- Toolbars -- Drawing. Click the Draw command -- Grid... Uncheck the box that says, "Display gridlines on screen."
