OK, got it figured out and decided I would post what I found for anyone
with a similar issue.

Turns out there are 3 areas that control whether gridlines show up in an
Excel Worksheet object, pasted as a link, in a Word document. If you DON'T
want the gridlines to print on the table in Word, make sure

1) In Excel under Tools Options make sure on the View tab Gridlines is NOT
checked. Do this for each tab in the workbook that will support a table in
the Word document.

2) In Excel under File Page Set Up, on the Sheet tab make sure Gridlines is
not checked. Do this for each tab in the workbook that will support a table
in the Word document.

3) In Word under Table make sure the option for Hide Gridlines has been
selected. (If it has, then the menu selection will be Show Gridlines

Hope this helps all!

I have a table I have copied and pasted as a link from Excel into a Word
document. I have the gridlines option turned off in Excel. The table shows
up correctly in the Word document and in a print preview of the word
document, but when I print a hard copy, the gridlines show in the table. How
do I fix this?

Much thanks!
