  • 4. 1706 Error on Windows XP
    I am running Windows XP Home and Word 2002 in Microsoft Office XP Small Business. I added a new Administrator-type user to my system. If I try to start Word in that user, I get a message saying "The feature you are trying to use is on a CD ROM or other removable disk that is not available...Insert Office XP Small Business..." When I click cancel, I get a message "Error 1706... The knowledge base talks only about 2000 and NT. Word 2002 works fine for the other users on my system. I'm a little nervous about inserting the CD-ROM without knowing why it's doing this. Can you tell me what is going on? Thanks, Carol

Write hide gridline instructions assuming borders must be removed

Hide gridline instructions for tables is confusing.  If written from a 
different perspective, I believe they would be easier to follow.  My 
suggestion is that it be assumed that since the title is Hide Gridlines, that 
is exactly what the user wants to do.  Skip the long explanation and explain 
how to remove borders; in fact, go into more detail about borders, or provide 
a reference to the format section, or wherever this information resides.

Gridlines and table borders are not the same thing. Word's help on Gridlines
is as follows, which seems straightforward.

Display or hide gridlines in a table
Gridlines form the cell boundaries and are not printed. All tables by
default have a black point, single-line, solid-line border that is
printed. If you remove this border, the gridlines remain until you hide
them.
  a.. On the Table menu, click Show Gridlines or Hide Gridlines.
Note  Gridlines are not visible when viewing a document in a Web browser.
