You may want to remove the gridlines and use borders instead.

Then you can have much more control over what those borders look like.

In xl2003:
Tools|Options|view tab|uncheck gridlines

And to apply borders:
select the range
format|cells|border tab

How do I display gridlines in only a sub section of a sheet? The block of
cells above will be all gridlines but in some rows below, I do not want all
the columns to have have gridlines. Thanks.
