Mac Forum / Applications / Excel / June 2008Excel
Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: intel My old (1998) version of Excel printed subtle gridlines. The 2008 version print gridlines are very heavy and distract from the content. How can I change the appearance of the 2008 printed gridlines? The only solution I can come up with so far is to check the 'do not print gridlines' box, and then apply 'border' lines around all the active cells. There's got to be a better way!!!???? There is no setting I know of in Excel that specifically adjusts the intensity of the gridlines. AFAIK, there also is nothing in System Prefs that will change the weight or darkness of the grid. You might try the various printer settings available from the Copies & Pages list in the Print dialog which pertain to Color Sync as well as Color Management. Perhaps you can come up with an acceptable combination & save it as a Preset. Unfortunately the settings adjustments may adversely affect the other content being printed. If that doesn't work & it's a major consideration you might want to create a workbook & worksheet template using the Border color of your choice for any new files you create so you won't have to go through the dance each time.
