Light grey grid-lines

[Jim May]

My boss has come to me asking how can he get rid on several cells of a report
he's preparing that have small grey grid-lines/borders, not sure which
|______| << this is the look of them (3 sided types).. I've tryed several
things but can't clear them.
Can anyone suggest another "trick"?
TIA,

[Keith]

If the small grey grid lines show up on the screen only and not on the
printed version (with gridlines unchecked in the page setup under "sheet"
tab") and he is wanting to have the screen not show those gridlines, he could
"fill" the cell with white and the grey gridlines won't show on the screen
anymore. Hope this helps.

Thanks Paul, but this is one of things I tried before writing in...
If I take a "good" cell (without the lines) click on it , use the
Format painter, and paint over such cells |____| WITH Values
in it - the lines disappear. !!!, but if I do the same with a cell
whose value (by formula) is 0, the lines disappear, but a "-"
appears in that cell (Again something my boss doesn't want to see)..
Thanks,
