    When I put my Resume together in Word. I can set the table borders to 'none'. This way there are no borders when i print the resume.

    However, I am sending my resume to a lot of people via email. When they open the file, they will see light grey borders where the 'invisibile' table borders are.

    Do you know of anyway to get rid of these?

    I looked in briefly in Word and didn't see anything off hand. This question would be better in the Software forum, though - get a better response there. :)

    I have similar layout boxes on me resume as you matty... but they show on screen as a light grey... on printing they don't show up, plus when emailed they don't show up either.....

    my settings in Borders & Shading are in pic below,

    one other thing to try is if your colour is set to Auto try it on white as the colour.

    Halo has a good suggestion. Wondering, if you get one of the free PDF creators that exist (CutePDF is one) and print to that will the grey borders show up when you open the resume PDF file? I'm suggesting this since most likely most users will have a PDF viewer. Granted this a round-about way of doing it.

    Ken you are spot on with that reply about using alot of company's using PDF, I have to convert all of my work stuff from MS Word or Excel to PDF, not for matty's reason the cell borders showing but more for the fact not everyone will have the same fonts as me so the layout of some docs will be lost plus not every company I send stuff to have PCs a few as they are design/photo company's have Macs so PDF is a more versatile format for me.



    Matty if I read you first post correct have some recipents of your emailed resume mentioned the grey border format boxes?

    Have you sent it to yourself to test?

    Thanks guys and no, I have not sent it to myself. I am going to do so now. I will let you know if I am still getting the grey borders. If so, I will deff. look into using the PDF format.

    You all have been a great help.

    Now, anyone hiring?! Lol

    one thing matty when you see the the doc on screen you will see the borders even with borders set to none, then as yuo say you print it and none show.. the same is for emailing as the borders are just for formatting purposes when set to none, now if you had them set to show then they would print/email out.
