Gridlines don't ever print in Word. For printing outlines, you need borders
(see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/Gridlines.htm). But if you have
gridlines set to print in Excel, I believe your Excel table will come into
Word with a border.

I linked an Excel document with Word in a paper that I am writing. I
cannot
get the gridlines to print in my Word document. I need the gridlines for
my
Excel table.
