Select the Page Layout menu option. All the way to the right you'll see "Align" The "View Gridlines" setting is in there. This was driving me batty for a while.
In Microsoft Office Starter 2010:
"Page Layout" Tab >
"Align" Button is on the far, top, right hand side >
Drop-Down Menu - Uncheck "View Gridlines" - Second option from the bottom >
Done.
This was driving me batty also!! Info was VERY helpful.
Hey, I found it! There is another 'View Gridlines'. I was working on a header and I saw another Borders. In DESIGN tab, click BORDERS and at the bottom is VIEW GRIDLINES to check or uncheck.
I've already tried View/gridlines before searching for an answer. Does anyone have any other suggestions? They're my Word templates and I use Office 2010 and 5 out of 10 have them and they came out of nowhere. One day, just there. (NOT lovin' Office 2010 nor Windows 7!!)
