Table format problem

[Catt]

Hi, Suddenly when I went to create a simple table this morning I find that
there are no guide borders. I created a table that was three rows by two
columns. When it popped up it had no guide lines (gray layout lines). The
columns and rows were there and I could put lines on them as usual but all of
a sudden I don't have them???? I went to format but see nothing about
'default' as there is in Word or FrontPage. I opened a new blank page and
created a table and then the guide lines were back. I went back to the
document that I tried to make a table on originally and just for the heck of
it I added a new page and tried to make a table on it, again, it had no guide
lines. Is the document corrupt? I worked on the doc recently and had no
problems. Any ideas?
Ty, Catt

By default tables do not have lines, earlier versions the cells were filled
white. When you select a preset table - lines are included. You may have chosen
a preset table in times past.

Thanks Mary, I understand that table by default don't have lines that print.
But they do have "grayed out" guide lines that show you the columns and rows.
So maybe I didn't explain properly. The table as it comes out does not have
anything in it at all. Its completely blank, yet , the rows and columns are
there. If I highlight the table I can apply anything that I want. The fact
is that tables on this document are not coming out the way they normally do.
I guess I should just assume that the document is corrupt.

You are having no doubt video/graphics driver issues.

Try this,
Slide the acceleration down on your adapter, control panel, display folder,
settings tab, advanced button, troubleshoot tab. If the table outlines are
visible now, then go to the manufacturer's web site of your graphics card and
look around for an upgraded driver.

Thanks again Mary, but I have no trouble on other documents, both past and
new ones so although your suggestion about graphics is a valid assumption I
think I'll just skip it. I have 2+ megs of graphic ram and I really doubt
there is a prob there. I'll just cut and past the significant text into a new
doc and go from there.
Thanks for your help and time
