Excel® Spreadsheet Software Tip: Putting Gridlines Around Cells - Tip of the Week

Sunday, February 13, 2005

 

One way to place gridlines on your spreadsheet is to click on File, click on Page Setup, and click on the Sheet tab. Check the box that says Gridlines, and click OK.

The other way is to first highlight (turn blue) the portion of the worksheet you want to put gridlines on. Then click on the black triangle to the right of the Borders icon on your formatting toolbar at the top of your screen. Click on the icon that has four squares with borders and looks like a window pane.

With either method, your gridlines should show up when you print your spreadsheet.
