MS Word help *insert igor smilie here*

[Joel]

Hi...

In one of my machines my little cousin play with it.

I don't know what the "f", that he screw my MS Word.... here's the deal:

Everytime I run MS Word it appears like grid, more or less when you take out the borders of a table in word....

Is not table, I already try that but, seems no way to get rid of the grid...

any ideas?

I don't understand what you mean really. Maybe post a screenshot?

[Joel]

Screenshot? Can't right now, I'm in work...

From my house I'll posted...

I think he set it up for Asiatic-language support. I forget how to toggle it, because I've only seen it once before. I specifically didn't install asiatic suppot on my installed version, so I can't help you beyond that at the moment.

I think he just put some 'markers' in the view option.

[Joel]

the markers weren't the think... but right now I'm keeping him in front of the computer trying to solved what he did

The lines that are giving you trouble are borders—formatting elements rather than characters. When you enter three or more of certain characters at the start of a line and then hit Enter, Word automatically inserts border formatting in place of the characters. Underscores, dashes, tildes, and asterisks all yield different types of borders.


To clean up the form, press Ctrl+A to highlight the entire document, choose "Borders and Shading" from the Format menu, and clear all borders. Now select "AutoCorrect Options" from the Tools menu, click the "AutoFormat as You Type" tab, and uncheck the box titled "Border Lines." Finally, rebuild the form; this time, Word won't erroneously turn your lines of characters into borders. Note that when Microsoft Office 2003 creates a border line, it adds a floating AutoCorrect Options button. Click the button to reverse the AutoCorrect action or to turn it off before going on.

I hope this helps.
