Deleting (not hiding )Cells in a Excel to Word Doc
I created My CV in Excel, then copied and pasted the Doc into Word
2003. when I open the document in Word the gridlines (cells from Excel) appear. I realise that I can hide the gridlines (cells) in Word 2003. But what I would really like to do is DELETE the gridlines totally. Can this be done. Many Thanks Mr Hull |

Deleting (not hiding )Cells in a Excel to Word Doc
You can show/hide the gridlines from the Table menu. You can remove borders
from Format | Borders and Shading or by pressing Ctrl+Alt+U. Or you can convert the table to text (Table | Convert | Table to Text) if what you really want is to remove the text from the table. -- Suzanne S.

Deleting (not hiding )Cells in a Excel to Word Doc
Reading the original post with my psychic mind-reader hat on, I
suspect that Mr Hull wants to send the CV electronically to a potential employer, and wants to make sure the gridlines never appear. The answer is that this is not possible -- if the employer wants to turn on gridlines, he or she can do it at will. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: You can show/hide the gridlines from the Table menu.

TO JAY FREEDMAN,
Your psychic mind-reader hat was spot on. I did indeed want to email my cv and not show the gridlines. TO Suzanne S. BARNHILL. thanks for the link...... (http://home.earthlink.net/~wordfaqs/HideGridlines.htm.) It may not of deleted the gridlines, But did a bloody good job of hiding them. Many thanks to the both of you for taking the time to help a complete stranger. PS.. I do still have one 'Grey'line on my doc that I cannot seem to remove. On the Left hand side of the 'Grey' line there appears to be some sort of 'cross' within a small square. Is there a way to remove it? Thanks Regardless Peter. "Suzanne S.
