Removal of gridlines after converting Excel to Word
Management has been giving me Excel files in an e-mail attachment. However I
need it in Word. I found out from another member that it can be opened in Word, but the important thing is to save it in Word, but now the Excel grid lines still exist in Word. How can I remove the gridlines? |

Whatever Excel uses because that is the attachment I use to open up in Word.
It almost looks like a column, but I tried to use Table-Delete Row- or Delete Cell, but it had not impact. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Are they gridlines or borders?

I resort to using the eraser from the Table toolbox to remove borders from
any sort of table, including excel cells. Works for me. "RKA" wrote: Whatever Excel uses because that is the attachment I use to open up in Word.

If they're borders, Ctrl+Alt+U will remove them, but you'll still see
gridlines if you have table gridlines displayed. This applies to Excel content pasted into Word; I can't answer for Excel files opened in Word (which I would regard as a Bad Idea). -- Suzanne S.

I resorted to Ctrl+Alt+U, but it had no effect. I am having trouble finding
the eraser tool from the Table toolbox to remove borders from any sort of table, including excel cells. I want to at least try to see if the Eraser tool toolbox will work. What should I do to succesfuly attempt this in Excel 2000? "Suzanne S.

Do these "gridlines" show in Print Preview? If so, they're borders, and you
should be able to remove them by selecting the table and choosing No Border from the Borders palette or None in Format | Borders and Shading. If not, they're just gridlines, toggled by Table | Show/Hide Gridlines. -- Suzanne S.

In that case, what you are seeing is Word's table gridlines. Since they will
not print, this is just a display issue. If they bother you, turn them off using Table | Hide Gridlines. -- Suzanne S.
