Pasting Excel table into Word

[olds]

I made a table in Excel with gridlines. I pasted it into a word document. The gridlines show in the document but when I print it, they are gone.
What am I missing?
TIA

Usually you have to tell excel to print the gridlines. You might have to tell excel beforehand to do that(I know there is an option) either that or see if you can find the option if you right click on the inserted table.

I selected gridlines in Excel, Page Setup. I also put a . in the last cell of the table. The lines show up in Excel and the .doc but are gone when I print.

Heres a solution that should work...just use borders on the table

Thanks, I'll try that.

just because I am curious, do they show up in print preview?

 

[olds]

No

Use the OLE functionality - link to the document rather than just pasting; When you paste, your are not getting the Excel formatting, just the data in the cells.
