You work in an office and you are assigned with the task of preparing a document. You insert a table
in the document and your document has a number of objects. You want to use gridlines for proper
alignment between objects. For this, you have to display gridlines of the table. However, clicking the
Borders button on the Design tab will not help in displaying the gridlines. Which of the following is
the cause of the issue?
A.
You are viewing the document in the Draft view.
B.
You are viewing the document that is marked as final.
C.
You are viewing the document in a Web browser.
D.
You are viewing the document in the Print Layout view.
Explanation:
Gridlines are used to show cell boundaries of a table on the screen. These gridlines will be displayed
where the table does not have borders.
They appear only on the screen where they are not printed. You cannot see the changes wherever
the gridlines are behind the borders if you hide the gridlines in a table that has these borders by
default. All tables have black 1/2 point, single-line, solid-line borders that are printed. In order to
view the gridlines, remove the borders. If you are viewing a document in the Web browser, gridlines
will never be visible.
Answer A and D are incorrect. You can view gridlines of a table in the Draft and Print Layout views.
The Draft view is used to view the document as a draft to allow a user to quickly edit the text.
Headers and footers are not visible in this view. The Print Layout view is used to view a document as
it would appear on a printed page.
Answer B is incorrect. The gridlines of a table are not affected by the use of the mark as final
feature.
