Embeded Excel File gridlines?
 

We have documents with imbeded excel files, and all of a sudden, they are
printing with grid lines around the cells. The original spreadsheet has
gridlines turned off, and no lines around the cells in formatting.
Anyone know what is going on?
PS- I just love these **all of a sudden** problems!

Are your Excel tables linked to the original spreadsheet/workbook? If so, it
is possible that the links have been broken. This will cause the Excel table
to turn into a picture and the gridlines will print.

Check this: Edit Links and see if there is an N/A in the Update column.
You can often retrieve the link by using Change source and pointing to the
link for each table to the source file.

After you embed a file, the original no longer matters. A copy was embedded
in your document. I have no idea why it suddenly changed, but it's
notorious for things like that. I believe the bumper sticker on the pickup
truck that says those things happen. .

Here's what may work. Double-click the embedded file. You need Excel on
the machine where you'll be doing this. You're in Excel now. File - Page
Setup - Sheet tab. Uncheck "gridlines." OK. Click outside the box to get
back to the container document. Try a print or a preview now.
