Whether it is an exisiting document or a new document opened in word tiny boxes appear on the worksheet which will not turn off.
Originally I thought they may have been just gridlines but when you toggle the hide/show gridlines more lines just show up or disappear leaving the original lines (Boxes) intact.
I have never seen anything like this before and am stumped.

any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to the forum.

You have you Show/Hide button turned on which will show you the cell indicators that you are seeing. Click on the icon that looks like a backwards P near the zoom box.

Hello again

Well I tried that and nothing but thanks for the help and for the welcome.

It appears like there is graph paper type lines over the Ms word worksheet that will not turn off nor do I know how they came to be there in the first place.

they don't print or effect the document in anyway they are just annoying when typing and reading a document.

I though they were gridlines or some kind of border at first but I was worng there.

If anyone has encountered this before some help would be appreciated.

thank you

Can you post a print screen of what you have as an attachment so I can take a look at it?

It sounds like your style may be not what you want also. When you open up Word, does it say Normal in the box in the upper left or something else?
