Format Inserted Excel Table
I have inserted an Excel spreadsheet as a table into a Word 2007 document
(saved as .docx) using the Insert/Table menu. I would like to remove the gridlines. How does one do this? In Excel, there is an option to not show these; there is also the possibility of formatting the cell borders to be white. But neither of these seems to work. I cannot locate an option to turn off gridlines. And when I try to set a cell border color to white, it returns to automatic. Thanks. --ron |

Although the gridlines show on Print Preview, they do not show on the actual printout. --ron |

Either you have Gridlines enable (View ribbon) or View Boundaries enabled in
Word Options. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Ron Rosenfeld" wrote in message ...

On the Ribbon View menu, nothing is selected. (i.e. Gridlines is deselected). Under Word Options, I do not see a View Boundaries selection. Under Advanced/Show Document Content there is an option for "show text boundaries", but that is as close as I could find (and that is/was De-selected). As I wrote, the gridlines show on the various views of the document, and on the Print Preview, but not in the actual printout (or on a PDF file generated from the document using the Save As command). Any other suggestions for me to get a WYSIWYG view? --ron |

Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org Thank you for the suggestion. Although Table Tools/Layout tab appears when I select a normal "table", it does not appear when the table was created by using the Insert/Table/Excel*Spreadsheet method. --ron |
