I used Microsoft Word to create a flowchart. I closed and saved the document. Now if I open MS Word and create a new document, I get a fine grid as my word document, and word seems to be stuck in Flowchart mode. Plus if I open other word documents that I created a year ago, they now have the grid behind the text. How can I fix this?

How to get out of Flowchart mode in MS Word

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.
