Select all the cells you are copying. Then:

Format Cells... Patterns Then select white color ( bottom right)

When the backgound color is set the gridlines vanish unless borders are
turned on

When I copy a number of cells from Excel to powerpoint, I can't get rid of
the grid lines. There are no borders. When I'm in Excel, I see the faint
grid lines as you normally would. Unfortunately, these lines also display in
powerpoint. How do I stop that behaviour.
Thanks so much for any help.
