    Hi,

    The green lines around the table come from Track Text Edit. When you have this activated, when you insert a table, FrameMaker adds this green lines.

    You can hide this, when you click the Preview button of the Track Text Edit toolbar. Or use the commands in the Edit menu in Track Text Edit.

    You can also permanently accept the changes. Either click the Accept All button or click this command in the Edit menu in Track Text Edit.

    Or select the table anchor (or the whole paragraph with the table anchor, better) and click Accept Edit.

    Best regards, Winfried

    Try choosing View > Panels (or Pods) > Conditional Tags, click the Show/Hide button and uncheck Show Condition Indicators.

    I tried to follow the instructions given, but it still looks the same.

    Not quite sure what you're referring to - is it the green cross-hatching on the first image? That looks like you've applied some conditional text to it.
