Word up to 2003 - tables > show gridlines
Word 2007 > Table Layout > View Gridlines.

I would call that a pretty drastic alternative (and hardly "easy" compared
to Table | Show Gridlines).

Word 2007.

When I select Insert Table, my options are to create a table. If I create a
table and Click View, and check gridlines, I get what looks like graph paper.
I just want to see the outline of the labels on a page.

What am I missing here?

You need the Show Gridlines button in the Table Tools > Layout ribbon, not
the one in the View ribbon. (The Table Tools appear only when the cursor is
in a table.)

Okay. I'm in the table and have the Table Tools ribbon.

In Word 2007, however, I have to select Borders | View Gridlines.

Thanks!

Legallisa,

Actually, the way Jay gave you works just as well in Word 2007:
There are *two* tabs under the Tables tab, one is "design" and the other
is "layout". Jay described the one under "layout" (as he says). You
chose the one under "design".

Both work fine.
