A perfect solution. I wonder if MS knows how complicated life when the &quot;simplified&quot; Word in its version 2010. <br />
<br />
You made my day. Many, many thanks.<br />

I made some Word tables back in 2004 and some of the cells had special markings: a series of horizontal lines in the cell. (See picture).<br />
<br />
I am now using Word 2010 and I cannot find out how to erase those lines or put them in other cells. <br />
<br />
Are the lines something that worked with Word 2003?<br />

Microsoft Office

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
