Word issues - saved files not saved and gridline blank documents

[Guest]

I have office 2003 (been using office for Years) I downloaded updates a
couple weeks ago (not sure if that is the issue) but...
First I always use the print view to work on my documents, now my views are
different Like - there is gridlines or some kind of grids that show in the
back ground.
BIG issue right now is- I have spend 10 hours writing and saving word
documents, but something happened, Most are not anywhere.... While I was
working on some I noticed when I clicked save as - then went on to change
some things then clicked save as (and of course renamed it) and kept doing
that to about 15 documents even though when I took a break and came back I
checked one and it was not saved correctly, I thought it was probable me so I
re typed it and saved it, However it is still not there...

Anywone know what is going on?

Thanks,
Liz

That will cover the major problem. As for the gridlines, display the Drawing
toolbar, choose Draw | Grid, and clear the check box for "Show gridlines on
screen."

Carol,
I went to this site, However, as I am not useing - Hewlett-Packard's
Share-to-Web software - Which is what it says it refers to, I am affraird to
try it???
I have a Dell computer, do you thinkg that makes a difference?

Try it. Other software has the same effect. And you may not know that you
have HP software.
