Rather than coloring the cells white to look like normal background and
wiping out gridlines. I think what you really want to do is put your cells
back to automatic pattern color, eliminate gridlines, and use borders
around the cells you want to have borders. Then you will see the same
thing in display and in print.

Not a hijack at all. Select all cells (upper left corner and format
background to white.
Then go back and re-format the "gridded" cells back to no-color background.

The edges may be a problem - you may need to outline them.

Hi,

I don't want to hijack this thread, but is the reverse possible? I want
gridlines in the section I'm working with, but would like them removed
from the rest of the sheet!

Many thanks,

Mark.
