  1. Thanks for the much important post, i Can now remove the ever irritating grid line background in word 2010

  2. When I checked Show Gridlines on the View tab I could NOT see the gridlines. 

    I found “View Gridlines” under the Layout tab.  That worked!  Note that the cursor needs to be inside the Table for you to see the Layout tab.
