Word 2003, table without a border?

[trmiv]

I'm using word 2003 to make a resume. On one section I head a heading, and then next to it I have a bulleted list. I want the first line of the bulleted list to appear on the same line as the heading. I can't get this to work unless I use a table. But when I use a table, I can see the borders of the table. I went to borders and shading and set the borders to none, and when it prints there are no borders. The problem is, when I view the resume on-screen, which is how most will view it, these very light grey borders appear for the table. How can I get rid of them?

set the background color to white instead of none.

Highlight the table, right-click, borders and shading, none.

Did that. The table border still shows when viewing the document on screen, but it's light grey. It doesn't show up when printing though. I need it to now show up when on the computer screen.

I also tried setting the border to white, that didn't work either, I can still see a bright white border.

I agree. Sending a resume in Word is often inviting disaster. Plus, PDF's often wow people.

Except many jobs I apply for specify they want it in .doc format. I need it to look right in all formats.

Anyway, I solved this problem in another way.

Its nice to share when you figure something out. So...?

BTW, im currently in the market and wanted to get rid of those things but never worried about it too much.

hehe...i didnt even think of pdf. Do that. it is much more professional than word. Who knows if their computer is going to have funky settings that override yours.

Instead of making the first item in the bulleted list( which was next to the heading on the same line), part of the bulleted list, I just made it part of the line text, spaced it until it was lined up with the list items, and then used the Arial bullet from the character map, and stuck it in front. Just looking at it, it looks like it's another list item.
