Table with 'No Lines'

[John]

Using Publisher 2002 ....

To prevent tables slipping I've tried Ctrl 'M' and
creating a table on this page. I select all and colour
the lines in black. (This creates a slipproof template)

I then copy using Ctrl 'C'

Back to original page, Ctrl 'V', the table I
copied is now positioned exactly on top of
the under page.

I want to change this table into "No Lines"
in order that I may type in the data using the
'tab' key to proceed to the next box. *exactly*
but I'm unable to carry out this function.

I'd appreciate guidance please.

John

What problem are you having? What happens when you attempt to change the
line color to NONE?

The problem is that the table which is uppermost will
not change colour, or allow me to make it transparent., which
is my requirement

Are you selecting the whole table? Once selected, click lines, more lines, click the
preset grid option, click line color, change to none. If you remove the line (no
line) you will find the table size is no longer is the same as the one on the
background.

Many thanks for your input.

I still haven't cracked the change of colour, but
I can now erase the lines in 'Tables."

I take it you have tried setting the fill colour of the table to "No Fill"?
