tables

[Rhonda]

I made a table and want to erase the borders of the cells. Any idea how to do
that?
Thanks

Ctrl+Alt+U deletes all borders and shading applied to the table.

If you want to remove specific borders (and/or shading), select the cells
and use the Borders and Shading dialog box. To display the dialog box:

- Format | Borders and Shading (Word 97-2003).

- On the Table Tools Design tab, click Borders, and then click Borders and
Shading (Word 2007).

Moreover, I only recently discovered that you can change the default
format of a new table by doing Modify to the thing that appears in the
Styles & Formatting pane called "Table Grid." Right-click on its line,
go down to Modify, and you can set all the parameters the way you like
them (instead of the useless default of a solid line on every gridline
of the table). This doesn't seem to be documented anywhere.

Alternatively, you can define a new table style based on Table Grid and give
it any name you want.
