You work in an office and you are assigned the task of preparing a document. You insert a table in the document and your document has a number of objects. You want to use gridlines for proper alignment between objects. For this, you have to display gridlines of the table. However, clicking the Borders button on the Design tab will not help in displaying the gridlines. Which of the following is the cause of the issue?
- A. You are viewing the document in Print Layout view.
- B. You are viewing the document marked as final.
Explanation: Gridlines are used to show cell boundaries of a table on the screen. These gridlines will display where the table does not have borders. They appear only on the screen where they are not printed. The user cannot see the changes wherever the gridlines are behind the borders if you hide the gridlines in a table that has these borders by default. All tables have black 1/2 point, single-line, solid-line borders that are printed. In order to view the gridlines, remove the borders. If the user is viewing a document in the Web browser, gridlines will never be visible.
