Quickly Removing Table Borders

When you insert a table in Word 97 or later versions, it automatically adds a border around the cells in the table. For many purposes, you may not want the borders. There are many different ways to get rid of the borders, but perhaps the simplest is to simply press CTRL+ALT+U right after inserting the table. (After you insert the table, the insertion point is typically within a cell of the table. If it is not, you should make sure you place the insertion point within the table before pressing CTRL+ALT+U.)
