for some reason when I want to use Microsoft word, on the area where you type, there is something like a grid like background on the entire page. Its not something I can click on , its just there in the back. I've gone through all the menus and little clickables and I cant find anything anywhere ...im desperate!!! The weird thing is that i can still type, its just over the"grid". Its realllyyyy annoying so please someone help me!!! No stupid answers please.

1. make sure that the drawing toolbar is showing. If it is not, click on view->toolbars->drawing.
2. click on draw->grid
3. uncheck the box that says display gridlines on screen.
If I got this all wrong let me know, but I think you are seeing drawing gridlines.
good luck,

Sounds like you have the Drawing grid on. From the Drawing toolbar pull down and choose Grid. There is a checkbox for turning it off.

You have gridlines turned on in your MS word.
Look at the toolbar on top of the window; you should see something that looks like a grid, similar to this ##
If you don't see this, go to add buttons, and search for it.
Click it, and you should see a checkmark on a command that says "display gridlines on screen", or something similar. Uncheck it, click OK to close and exit, and you're OK.

No idea but check this site, http://209.85.165.104/search?q=cache:0D3huUjdvPgJ:www.lboro.ac.uk/computing/access/office2003-shortcuts.html+office+2003+grid&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=5
You might try pressing Shift+F9 which did nothing for me but according to them that is "show or hide grid" sorry if that doesn't help but I've never encountered that problem before.

Are you looking for tables? Because you click the insert table button it will give you choices on how big you want the table.

Does it affect the print? I've never heard about that, but if it isn't there when you print something, it may have to be something you have to live with
