Gridlines


Posted by Charles on November 27, 2000 8:46 AM

I bolded and colored in several lines of cells of a spreadsheet. Later I went back and removed the bolding and coloring, but when I did it took away the border lines around those cells. How do I get the border lines back around those cells? Thanks!

Do you want borders or gridlines to appear on those cells? Borders will print, while gridlines will only appear on screen. If the gridlines have disappeared, go to Tools > Options > View and make sure that Gridlines is checked under Window Options. If the gridlines are still not there, select the cells they're missing from, and select Format > Cells > Patterns and choose No Color.

If it's borders that you want, select the cells you want borders for, select Format > Cells > Border, click on Outline and Inside (assuming you want all 4 borders for each cell) and click OK.

Let me know if you'd like more help,

-Ben

Thanks Ben! I should have been more specific in my question by stating that it was gridlines on the screen I was looking for. The Format > Cells > Patterns, No Color gave me what I needed!
