This is probably not the place to ask this, but ...

I'm having problems seeing tables when in writer. All I can see are
gray boxes. I'm fairly well acustomed to Word, but don't use either
much anymore, Word not at all, and I was wondering if anyone could
lend a little information on how-to or where-to solve this problem. If
I remember how many cells I've got in the table I can usually click on
a cell and enter data, but I can't see anything until I either grab
the table or click on a cell.

TIA
Bill
