Print table without lines

[Guest]

I just converted to Office 2007 from Office 2000. In the latter I was able to
print the formatted contents of tables without printing the row/column lines.
Can I do the same in Word 2007? How?

Select the whole table. You'll see the Table Tools tab and the Design
tab within that. At the right end of the Table Styles group, click
Borders and then choose No Border.

Another way, which is much quicker, is to press the shortcut
Ctrl+Alt+U. For that, you don't even have to select the whole table,
just put the cursor anywhere in it.

A third way is to right-click somewhere in the table and choose
Borders and Shading; in the dialog, click the None button on the left,
and make sure the Apply To dropdown says "Table".

I think I mis-worded my concern. What I really wanted was to be able to see
the table gridlines on the monitor but have them not print. From what Mr.
Friedman wrote I was able to stumble on the answer to what I really wanted.
Thanks.

Mr. Freedman's Ctrl-Alt-U trick is a great "unformatting" tool, but be
careful. It removes all shading in the whole table! The "safest" way to
remove the black borders on your table is a 6-step process:

Click inside the table. Select Design>Borders>Borders and Shading>None>OK.

Repeat for each table that you have in your converted document.
