I did not have a problem. Each worksheet in the workbook needs to be
"unchecked" sepaeately. Then save the workbook with a different file name.
I.E. gridlines. When you open Excel, the default "book1.xls" will open, "with
gridlines". But when you open the file you saved, "gridlines" it should
retain your settings of no gridlines.

When I hide the gridlines on my worksheets, they come back when I reopen the
workbooks. How do I make them stay away? I use Tools, Option, uncheck
gridlines and then I save the workbook.
