From: Ron Rosenfeld on 14 Jan 2010 09:08 I have inserted an Excel spreadsheet as a table into a Word 2007 document (saved as .docx) using the Insert/Table menu. I would like to remove the gridlines. How does one do this? In Excel, there is an option to not show these; there is also the possibility of formatting the cell borders to be white. But neither of these seems to work. I cannot locate an option to turn off gridlines. And when I try to set a cell border color to white, it returns to automatic. Thanks. --ron

Although the gridlines show on Print Preview, they do not show on the actual printout. --ron
From: Terry Farrell on 15 Jan 2010 04:46 Either you have Gridlines enable (View ribbon) or View Boundaries enabled in Word Options. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Ron Rosenfeld" <ronrosenfeld(a)nospam.org> wrote in message news:7ibvk517bm5g39sg8aftt8d1u07n9b6v1c(a)4ax.com... > On Thu, 14 Jan 2010 09:08:16 -0500, Ron Rosenfeld > <ronrosenfeld(a)nospam.org> > wrote: > >>I have inserted an Excel spreadsheet as a table into a Word 2007 document >>(saved as .docx) using the Insert/Table menu. >> >>I would like to remove the gridlines. >> >>How does one do this? >> >>In Excel, there is an option to not show these; there is also the >>possibility >>of formatting the cell borders to be white.

On the Ribbon View menu, nothing is selected. (i.e. Gridlines is deselected). Under Word Options, I do not see a View Boundaries selection. Under Advanced/Show Document Content there is an option for "show text boundaries", but that is as close as I could find (and that is/was De-selected). As I wrote, the gridlines show on the various views of the document, and on the Print Preview, but not in the actual printout (or on a PDF file generated from the document using the Save As command). Any other suggestions for me to get a WYSIWYG view? --ron

On the contextual Table Tools | Layout tab, turn off View Gridlines (in the Table group at the far left). -- Suzanne S.
