Removing Borders in Tables

Below I will demonstrate with screenshots of how to remove borders in tables. This could really change the appearance in a table and for many projects, you will need to be able to remove the borders around your table to create the look the company is wanting to achieve.


  1. Create a table by dragging your mouse to the second tab named "Insert" then click "Table.
  2. After clicking 'Table,' select a size with columns and rows. By doing this you will hover over the squares and then simply click on your mouse to have the table pop up on your Word document. For this example, I will be choosing 4 x 6.
  3. After choosing the column and row numbers, you will want to do as directed and remove the borders from your table. First, you will select your table. Click the box with the plus sign ( + ), to select the whole table. Like this: 
    4. After selecting your table, you will want to click on "Borders" under the tab "Table Design." However, do not worry, you should already be on Table Design, but if not, click "Table Design" tab on the top.
    5. You have now selected your table and clicked on "Border." In step 4 you can see there are many functions to choose from when you click on "Border." For this task, it is asking you to remove the borders from your table. You will simply click "No Borders." Here is what it should look like:



    As you can tell from the picture above that the table you revised now does not have borders! You did it!
