How to get vertical lines to print on grid table?

[Dog lover]

I'm trying to create a simple table with just headings in five separate
columns. This table should have about 20 rows. The rows show up on the
screen but do not print. Any suggestions? I also want to had a separate
heading at the very top. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks!

I think you're wanting borders; see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/Gridlines.htm and
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/Borders.htm. As for "a separate
heading at the very top," if by this you mean a title or table caption, this
can be place above the table or in another row added to the top (with cells
merged). If the latter approach is used and the row containing the headings
(now the second row) is marked as a heading row, then the caption row will
also have to be a heading row and will repeat on any additional pages. For
more on how tables work, see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/TableBasics.htm.

Dog lover,
Are the lines just grey? If so, select your table and apply a border to it,
you can use the borders and tables toolbar. There is a button next to the
paint bucket if you click the little arrow next to it you will be able to
apply a border to all lines of the table.
As to the seperate row. Put your cursor in the second row, choose Table -
split tables. That will result in two separate tables. Split the table when
you have completely finished the formatting of your table. If you feel there
is too much space between the two parts, select your paragraph marker and
apply a font size of 4 to 6 points. Alternatively you could add an extra row
under your title row and apply a no line border to the left and right of the
row. Then you can apply an exact row height in the table properties dialog.
