How do I print Gridlines

[RScotti]

Hi,
I am making a long table of data in Word XP and somehow I deleted the grid lines. How do I get them back so they will be
printed on the document?

Have a good day,

Select the table and from the Format menu select the Borders and Shading
item. Note, borders are not the same as the Gridlines. Gridlines that do
not print can be turned on/off using the Show gridlines/Hide gridlines item
on the Tables menu.

Hi Doug,

Note, borders are not the same as the Gridlines. Gridlines that do
not print can be turned on/off using the Show gridlines/Hide gridlines item
on the Tables menu.

The Show Gridlines is selected but still do not print.I did have this selected before and thought that would do it but
it didn't.

Select the table and from the Format menu select the Borders and Shading
item.

Not sure what to do here. I selected the whole document than went to the Borders & Shading but didn't know what to do?
I tired a couple of options but nothing happened.

Have a good day,

Hi Doug,
PS:
The gridlines are very light in the document they use to be darker.
Hope this helps you find out what I am doing wrong.

Select the table and from the Format menu select the Borders and Shading
item. Note, borders are not the same as the Gridlines. Gridlines that do
not print can be turned on/off using the Show gridlines/Hide gridlines item
on the Tables menu.

Hi Doug,
If I insert new tables they are darker and they do print and show up in the print preview.
I can't inset them on what is already there? It screws everything up.

Select the table and from the Format menu select the Borders and Shading
item. Note, borders are not the same as the Gridlines. Gridlines that do
not print can be turned on/off using the Show gridlines/Hide gridlines item
on the Tables menu.

As I said in my first response, select the table and then use the Format
Borders and Shading dialog to format the style, colour, width of the cell
borders to your preference.

Borders and Gridlines are not the same thing.

Thanks Doug,
It did work per your instructions. I just didn't understand them till I found the grid in the Borders & Shading box.

borders to your preference.
