How do I print selected gridline color in Excel?

[Diane McCarty]

I have selected light turquoise as my gridline color, and they show that way
on the screen. However, when I print (and yes I've selected that I want
gridlines to print) they still print as black. How can I get Excel to print
the color of gridline I selected?

Perhaps you have print settings at "Balck and White" or "Draft Quality"?

Thanks, but this is not the problem. I have color selected, and draft would
print a color copy only with less ink. Any other ideas?

In my Excel 2003 and earlier versions I have used, selecting Draft Quality would
print no color or gridlines.

No ideas past what I offered first post.

Gord -

Just for fun, I tried Normal Quality, and it still printed black gridlines,
just darker. So that's definitely not the problem. Maybe there is no way to
do this. Does anyone from Microsoft ever monitor these lists?

This is a peer to peer news group and is strictly a volunteer effort.

MS employees monotoring the news groups would be a rare thing.

Try using "Cell border colors" and don't print "gridlines".
