Problem
You copy content from an Excel worksheet, paste or paste/link it into PowerPoint and get a grid pattern between the cells, even though you may have turned all borders off in Excel.
Solution
You need to turn off Grids in Excel.
- Double-click the Excel object to activate it. The Excel menu bar appears and the Excel object is activated for editing.
- Choose Tools, Options
- Click the View tab
- Remove the checkmark next to "Gridlines"
- Click OK
- If the worksheet is embedded, simply click anywhere off it to update it within the PowerPoint slide. If it's linked, save it first, then click off of it to return to PowerPoint.
PowerPoint 2003 doesn't show the gridlines by default but if you open a presentation created in an older version of PowerPoint/Excel that included Excel's grid, the grid will still be there. The steps above will eliminate it.
