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.

Ah, finally.

I don't know if the Excel sheet was inserted "as an OLE object".

I inserted it by selected the Insert tab on the Word Ribbon, then Table and
Insert as Excel Spreadsheet.

However, following your latest clue, when right clicked this "Excel Table" and
then selected Worksheet*Object/Open (instead of Worksheet*Object/Edit), I was
then able to get to an Excel Options menu which allowed me to make that change.

Thanks.
