If you have inserted the Excel sheet as an OLE object, then it's Excel
you're dealing with, and you will have to disable the gridlines in Excel.
Also, if you have gridlines displayed in Excel (or set to print in Excel, I
forget which), you will automatically get borders on a table if you paste
from Excel into Word as a Word table.

I did that. Only the gridlines on this temporarily inserted table
disappeared.
The gridlines on the table that was inserted as an Excel Spreadsheet did
not
change.
And a new table, inserted as an Excel spreadsheet subsequent to making
that
change, still showed gridlines.
I also tried this on a new document. First inserting a (regular) table;
removing the borders and setting to not display gridlines. Then inserting
a
table as an Excel worksheet. The latter showed gridlines; the former did
not.
