I just want to print an excel sheet showing gridlines with no text

Im trying to print an excel sheet showing just the gridlines, with no text in
it at all. Im using it for a superbowl football poole and so the people who
want to buy squares, we will write their name in the box. It wont let me
print a 10 x 10 grid. I went to the print setup page and made sure the
settings were right. Is this possible to print without any text or am I
incredibly ignorant? I like to think Im a pretty bright girl but maybe not!

Put a space in the 10th column and in the tenth row. That should do it.

Hi

Have you gone to File>Page setup>Sheet>and checked Print Gridlines?
If so, then just mark your 10 x 10 range of cells on the sheet,
File>Print>Selection (choose Preview if you wish and you should see the
dotted lines around the cells) then just Print.

If all this fails, then mark your block of 10 x 10 cells and use the
Border icon on the toolbar to set Borders around each cell, then print.
