Microsoft® Office Excel® 2007 Plain & Simple

Controlling Worksheet Gridline Appearance

Excel 2007 enables you to decide whether to display a worksheet’s gridlines, which mark row, column, and cell boundaries. For worksheets that contain a lot of data, it’s often a good idea to leave the gridlines on to help you distinguish between cells. For worksheets that contain charts and graphics, you should consider turning the gridlines off so they don’t compete with the images.
