My boss has come to me asking how can he get rid on several cells of a report
he's preparing that have small grey grid-lines/borders, not sure which
|______| lt;lt; this is the look of them (3 sided types).. I've tryed several
things but can't clear them.
Can anyone suggest another quot;trickquot;?
TIA,If the small grey grid lines show up on the screen only and not on the
printed version (with gridlines unchecked in the page setup under quot;sheetquot;
tabquot;) and he is wanting to have the screen not show those gridlines, he could
quot;fillquot; the cell with white and the grey gridlines won't show on the screen
anymore. Hope this helps.

Thanks Paul, but this is one of things I tried before writing in...
If I take a quot;goodquot; cell (without the lines) click on it , use the
Format painter, and paint over such cells |____| WITH Values
in it - the lines disappear. !!!, but if I do the same with a cell
whose value (by formula) is 0, the lines disappear, but a quot;-quot;
appears in that cell (Again something my boss doesn't want to see)..
