copy-paste from excel to powerpoint - grid lines
Office 97
When I copy a number of cells from Excel to powerpoint, I can't get rid of the grid lines. There are no borders. When I'm in Excel, I see the faint grid lines as you normally would. Unfortunately, these lines also display in powerpoint. How do I stop that behaviour. Thanks so much for any help. Diana |

Select all the cells you are copying. Then:
Format Cells... Patterns Then select white color ( bottom right) When the backgound color is set the gridlines vanish unless borders are turned on -- Gary''s Student "Cowtoon" wrote: Office 97 When I copy a number of cells from Excel to powerpoint, I can't get rid of the grid lines.

To Gary's student,
That worked. I had to just select the cells that didn't have a fill, but it worked. Thank you so much. I tried so many things, but did not even think to do that. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Your welcome! Pasting into Powerpoint is not as intuitive as pasting into Word.
