How do I get the "cell outlines" to show in Word 2013?

Updated to 2013 Word. In my 2010 version, the "cell" (tables) outlines show in the body of the document (where I paste photos into) but they do not print onto the page when printed. When I open the same document in 2013 Word, the outlines do not show. I go the INSERT menu, table tab pull down and  then click draw table and the outlines show in document. I save document template, and the lines disappear. 

There must be a way to have them show by default, but I have not found it. I have tried to save the document in the new 2013 format, but nothing seems to allow them to show when i open the template. Any help would be appreicated..

Answer
When the cursor is in the table so that the Table Tools tab of the ribbon appears, click on the Layout tab of that ribbon and then click on the View Gridlines button in the Table section of the ribbon.
