How to RemoveTabe Cell Borders

I would like to present a small table (2 cols x 9 rows) without any lines. In Table Setup I set the Body Border weight to zero. However, I have forgotten how to 'zero-out' the cell borders. That option does not appear (or at least, I cannot find it) under Table | 'Table Options' or Table | Cell Options.

With thanks in advance,

jwc

    It's in Table > Cell Options > Strokes & Fills. When you see all the borders selected in the proxy that represents cell borders, set the Stroke weight to 0 pt.

    If I set the Cell Fill to Yellow, here's what it looks like:

    The blue lines are just cell edges. If you choose to Hide Edges, you'll just see the yellow cells.

    Thanks, but nothing is working for me under ‘Strokes and Fills’. The weight is already zero. When I changed the weight to 10, nothing happened; proxies your border weights it did not change. I’m not sure what’s happening here

    You're sure you have the cells selected with the Type tool? Only the Type tool works with table cells. Notice in my first illustration, the cells are all selected. They turn black (inverse) to indicate selection.

    If for some reason that doesn't work, try restoring your InDesign preferences:
