[Solved] Table cell borders not showing on screen

Post by David12846 »

Greetings,

I've been using a document for a few years with no problem. I copy the file to create similar documents; only the text changes. The document has two tables. In the past, all the cell borders and the table borders were visible on my screen even though only the bottom borders should be printed. That is what I want. I need to SEE the cell borders when I enter text.

Something has changed. All I can see on the screen now is the text, the bottom table borders, and the page margin lines. How do I get the cell borders to be visible again without printing the cell borders?

Sometimes in a document I need to add more pages, copy the tables and change the text. Since I often have 30 or more pages, turning on cell borders to enter text then turning the cell borders off before printing is not an ideal solution.

My Writer version is 4.1.6

Thanks - David

Thanks RoryOF - That did it. I must have turned it off sometime or other.
