query regarding printing in word

Hi

Is it possible to set tables in word so you have three seperate boxes to type in, but remove the table lines when it comes to printing (just want to use the boxes as margins to work to on a document) Hope that makes some kind of sense

Depends on the version of word, but I think You can apply "No border" to a table so that lines do not print?

Yes you select the whole table and use FORMAT/BORDERS & SHADES/ and in the box select NO BORDERS.

You can check the action in Print preview

Cheers gents this was doing my head in last night, even tried using photoshop and pasting 3 seperate text boxes onto a new page but the print quality wasnt as good.
