inserting an Excel spreadsheet into Word - how to remove gridline

[Mo]

When using the Insert Excel Spreadsheet command in Word- I can easily use the
Excel features and return to Word and view the "table" that was created in
Excel. However, I can't figure out how to remove the gridlines. I know how to
do it if it were a Word table, but how do you remove the gridlines when the
table was created in Excel? I have Excel 2003.

In Excel, click on Tools | Options | View | uncheck the "Gridlines" box.

Hi Mo,

If you want to switch off the gridlines in an Excel worksheet that's already
embedded, double-click the embedded worksheet, then use Tools | Options |
View and uncheck the "Gridlines" box as suggested by garfield-n-odie.

Cheers

There isn't an easier way? You can't just choose whether or not to print the
gridlines in ALL the objects at the same time? I've got Word 2002 and I
thought I remember earlier versions being able to do it...

Thanks for the help.

I want to see the grid lines in excel but don't want them to print in word
(like I can have them not print in excel). is there any way to not have the
grid print when I link the excel file into Word as an object?

Select the table in Excel and copy to the clipboard. Edit > paste special as
a link in html format and it will appear exactly as it does in Excel. Grid
lines don't print but cell borders do.
