In Word 2010, how to display or hide gridlines in a table?

Bought Office 2010. I can't find out how to hid gridlines in table in Word 2010. The Office support site tells the how-to for Word 2003 (copied in below), but it appears not work for Word 2010. So, in Word 2010, how to display or hide gridlines in a table?

Gridlines show the cell (cell: A box formed by the intersection of a row and column in a worksheet or a table, in which you enter information.) boundaries of a table (table: One or more rows of cells commonly used to display numbers and other items for quick reference and analysis. Items in a table are organized into rows and columns.) on the screen wherever the table doesn't have borders applied. Unlike borders, gridlines appear only on the screen; they are not printed. If you turn off gridlines, the table is displayed exactly as it will be printed. (Applies to: Microsoft Office Word 2003)

Click anywhere in the table.

Activate the Layout tab of the ribbon (under Table Tools).
