I have a portion of a spreadsheet with some calculations that I want to copy/paste to my drawing. Works fine, but it shows up with grid lines. How can I make them go away?

Double-click the grid on the SW drawing > Right-click a cell and pick "Format Cells" > Border TAB > Choose "None" for the presets.

There's no border on the cells. I think it has to do with the sheet formating in EXCEL...

The PRINT PRIEVIEW in the EXCEL file shows with no grid lines.

Gotcha, then turn off the gridlines in Excel before pasting into SW. In Excel: Tools > Options > Gridlines (lower left).

Open the spreadsheet in Excel, then go to Tools > Options > View and deselect Gridlines.
