When I have a document containing a table and click View | Gridlines, they
do not show up.

However, if I then open a new blank document, the page is full of tiny
gridlines!

Can anyone help, please?

Are you sure it's a table and not something created with tabs? Turn on your
non-printing characters and see what, if anything appears.

Definitely a table - I created it!

With non-printing characters showing, I can see the end of cell/row marks.

Perhaps you have inadvertently added white border lines to the table? If so,
that would explain why you cannot see the gridlines.

No, I just added borders and they show up fine! Anyway, this occurs on any
document with a table in it.

On a blank document, why would a tiny grid pattern appear all over the page
when I have Show Gridlines switched on?
