I currently use tables (even single cells) to position data accuratel
over a preprinted form. The documents produced are password protecte
(by the commercial application) so to send an email copy I use "selec
all" then copy and paste into a new document. However, when I do tha
the boxes appear with their borders on - although in the original th
borders are set to "none".

Any ideas how to get around this. I am using Word 2002 SP1.

Regards,
paulu

Hi Paulus

I seem to remember that this was a problem in Word 2002. The default table
style is Table Grid, which has borders. If you create a table using that
default style, it will have borders. If you then remove the borders, and
copy the table, it pastes with its default borders, rather than the no
borders setting you gave it.

Try changing the style of the Table to be Table Normal and add or subtract
borders as required.

And for some discussion on the issue (where copying and pasting and using
AutoTexts results in the problem), see

Hope this helps.
