Troubleshoot gridlines in tables

To create gridlines that print, you need to add a border around every cell in the table.

1. Select the table or cells where you want to add a grid.
2. Right-click the selected cells, click Format Table, and then click the Colors and Lines tab.
3. Under Preview, select the borders you want to change, and then select the color and line styles you want.

• To show the gridlines, click Boundaries and Guides on the View menu.

Diagonal divisions in table cells are available only when you are working on a print publication. If you convert a print publication that contains a table with cell diagonals to a Web publication, the cell diagonals will disappear.
