Thank you!!!
That helped and I was finally able to get it right.
(I did not sent a file attachment, since to the best of my knowledge, that is "prohibited" by the netiquette / and attachments are stripped automatically; maybe next time)

If you turn off the lines for a table, you should see the result in Print Preview.

I just cannot figure it out.

A few suggestions:

o If you select a cell range before you turn off table boundaries, your action will affect only those cells: other cells will retain their borders. Is that what you did?

o Do you have a single table or are there actually a number of adjacent tables? (If you inherited this document, you may not know how it was constructed.) If so, you'll need to adjust the borders on all of them.

o Do you have a table within another table?

o Do you really have not a table but a set of frames? Or frames within a table?

o Do you actually have a picture of a table, perhaps imported from another application?

I trust this helps.

Maybe I need to specify:
I myself created ONE table in a Writer document.
No images, no frames etc.
Started with 6 columns and about 30 rows.
Joined a few cells in the upper portion (to make more room for entries like "address" etc).
Below there are the 6 colums and 14 rows.
For THIS block - part of the ONE table - I would like to make the lines inside the table disappear (or at least NOT print)
and retain only the border that surrounds the whole table.

Yet, (so far) regardless of what cell/block of cells I select and what option pertaining to "borders", "lines" etc. I choose ...
NONE has ANY effect on the appearance of that table.
Is that not a little strange?

Hi Thomas,

What makes it "/strange/", or I should say difficult, is that we cannot see your document or know what options you are using. I am attaching a sample document (which may be removed by the list server) in the form of a mini-tutorial. Please follow the steps in that document using a new document of your own and write back to the list (not directly to me) and let us know if this works for you or not. This will give us some idea if the problem is in your existing document, or in the options you have been using.

Regards
