I am writing a business plan which of course will include a number of charts
and figures. I would like to use Excel to enter the data and then copy it to
Word without gridlines.

in word, highlight it all, pick Format/Borders and shading/ pick None

Jake -

I suggest you explain what you mean by quot;it did not work.quot;

In my experience, an Edit | Copy in Excel followed by a Edit | Paste in Word
yields a table in Word, displayed on screen with very light borders but
displayed in Word's Print Preview without any borders (particularly when the
table is formatted the way dlw suggested). Specifically, what is happening
or not happening?

Correct. It'll print without the grid lines. If you are concerned with
the view in Word, paste--gt;special it as quot;picturequot;.

Go to Table-gt;Hide Gridlines

If you have borders placed in excel then you will have to remove them
before
copying to Word or they will always show up.--

Also in Word under TABLE click on hide gridlines.Mike,

You are abslutely correct. I had not attempted to print the document and as
you said the table was displayed in Word with light borders. After reading
your reply I printed the document and there are no gridlines.

Thank you so very much!!
