Hi coffee,


I am not sure what you mean by Numbers Beta.


You have posted in the forum for Numbers for Mac. Here is a Numbers for Mac version 3.2 Answer.


Numbers makes use of several tables. Perhaps an input table, a data base and a "Presentation" table. You can move the "Presentation" table to its own sheet and print without grid lines (cell borders).


"Presentation" table with cell borders:

Same table formatted for printing (no cell borders or cell fill):

Menu > File Print... shows this in Print Preview:

Is that what you are trying for?

Hi coffee,


I tried to find a table from thier selections that had no grids or shaded lines


True. The 'Insert Table' options are limited. You can format a whole table at once by selecting it. Insert Table gives you a table that is already selected:

(I have deleted some Rows and Columns and 'squeezed' columns to make a smaller Screen Shot).


If the Table is not selected, click in it once, then click on the "bullseye"

With the whole table selected, I find the easiest way to change gridlines is in Format Panel > Cell > Border

Choose a Border Style (No Border) then click a border pattern for "All" (inside the red circle).

Step 2. Remove those alternating shaded rows. Now we need to go to Format Panel > Table

Untick Alternating Row Color.


BTW, I don't use Format Panel > Table > Grid Lines to change grid lines. I can't work that out.


Having gone to all this trouble, save a document with a table that has no borders or shaded lines. Save As Template for future use.


This was done on a Macbook Pro, OS X Mavericks 10.9.2, in Numbers 3.2. I don't know if this is possible in iCloud Beta.


My print ooptions did not have a "no grid/lines"option.


True. Print Preview has few editing options in Numbers 3.2. Most editing must be done in the document view.

Ian.
