The grid in printed documents

Everytime I print an Excel document I have to manualy put on the grid. Is there a way to do this permanently
Thanks for your help!

Hopefully this should work;
This is just following the 'create workbook template for new workbooks help'
Open up excel, and go straight to file/page setup and select print gridlines, add nothing else to the spreadsheet.
Now save the file but as a template in the XLStart folder, ususally found at;
C:\windows\application data\microsoft\excel\xlstart.
Now close Excel completely, when you restart, it will look for this template file and your gridlines should be set.

Rony,
On the sheet you want the grid to print, go to File/Print Preview/Setup. Select the Sheet tab on the dialog box and then select Gridlines under the Print option.
Hope it helped.
