Need some QUICK advice about collectors guide format

See the part number listings in these two pdfs.

Which one looks the best? The one with borders around the part numbers
and photos or the one without???

That's as thin as they get in word. Acrobat makes then thicker for some reason when you convert the word doc to pdf.

I think this will work

The document with borders looks better. Did you try to move a picture together with part description? Logically it belongs there, it may or may not look better.

That looks good to me.
The grey is much nicer

I had to put the part numbers and photos in tables in word to get them to line up correctly. This was a little tricky because I needed a format that would work for part number listings with and without photos.

The tables I set up in word had hidden borders that do not show up when
the docs are printed. When I converted the docs to pdfs the borders no longer show up.

Once I looked at the part number listings and photos without borders, I
decided it looked better with borders.

The photos may logically belong with the description but they also logically belong with the part number and values. Since I can't
put the photo in all three columns I decided to merge the columns
and put the photos on top of the part number, description, and value columns.

Well... It shoudn't take more than about 8 hours non-stop to go thru
the 400 docs and change the border settings on every table. Guess I better get started...
