Peo,

Oddly, initially using ctrl +v pasting doesn't remove the gridlines, but
your two suggestions to eliminate them within WORD work perfectly (after
which ctrl+v does work for the rest of the pasting). Thanks for ending my
frustration!

In Word (it is actually more of a Word than Excel question) select the table
(click the little square top left), do tabletable properties, click borders
and shading, then click the none icon

However having said that, normally when you paste using ctrl + v you won't
get gridlines, just formatting and borders if they exist in the source
data. Also you can turn on and off gridlines from tablehide gridlines in
Word

Peo,

The point is to preserve the table formatting that I worked hard to
produce
in Excel, so converting everythng to text would defeat the purpose.
Sorry.

Any other solutions out there?

Hi guys,
I need to copy/paste some tables from Excel to my presentation in MS
Word.
The gridlines disappear when I turned them off in the
TOOLS/OPTIONS/VIEW
section, but they reappear when you paste them into MS Word What's the
secret?
