  Hi Jon,

  I Paste a table into a Word 2003 document.
  It looks great. I print it, and the grid lines are
   missing. How can I make it print the grid lines
  of my table?

  in Excel you can choose to show grid lines or to hide grid lines, to print grid lines or not to print.
  In Word you can also hide or unhide grid lines. But they will never be printed. Therefore, you have to apply borders as mentioned by Paul.
  Or did you paste an Excel sheet as an embedded Excel object? Then you have to edit the object, and show its grid lines to be printed.

  Thank you. How do I apply a border to these? I did not see that choice, but I probably didn't look in the right place.

  Hi Jon,

  Go to Table|Table Properties > Table > Borders and Shading. Choose the border style you want, make sure the 'Apply to' option is set to 'Table' and click 'All'. This will give you a basic grid structure. You might want to use a color other than black (eg a grey shade for lighter lines) and you might want to explore some of the other options.
