If you apply a fill color to cells on your worksheet, you won't be able to see or print the cell gridlines for those cells. To see or print the gridlines for these cells, remove the fill color by selecting the cells, and then click the arrow next to Fill Color (Home tab, Font group), and To remove the fill color, click No Fill.


If you apply a fill color to cells on a worksheet, you won't be able to see or print the cell gridlines for those cells. To see or print the gridlines for these cells, you must remove the fill color. Keep in mind that you must remove the fill entirely. If you simply change the fill color to white, the gridlines will remain hidden. To retain the fill color and still see lines that serve to separate cells, you can use borders instead of gridlines.


One of the most common complaints about gridlines is that they are not printed by default. In this article you'll learn how to print gridlines in Excel and get these faint lines brighter on a hard copy by changing the default gridline color.


It's a good idea to preview your worksheet before getting it on paper to make sure that it looks the way you want. Luckily, Excel 2010 and 2013 allow you to preview and print your files in one location -- on the Print tab in the Backstage view. When you go there, you may find that Excel won't print gridlines in your sheet. As the result, you will get a stack of papers with the data that can be difficult to separate visually.


To cope with this problem, you can use the Borders option or just make Excel print gridlines. The first way will take you a good deal of time. So if you, as many other users, want to do it faster, read this article and find out how to print lines in Excel without drawing cell borders.

Now you know how to print gridlines in Excel 2016-2010 and change the default gridline color. I hope you'll find these simple tricks helpful, and your colleagues will appreciate your friendly way of printing out data.


On screen each cell is single spaced (with grid lines showing as I want) when I preview prior to printing everything looks the same, when I actually print the sheet, most cells are combined with the one below it again showing and printing the grid lines double spaced and some cells/rows are still showing and printing single spacing. I have tried everything I can to fix it.


I work with Excel 2010 and my problem is that printing gridlines is not consistent with each time I print a worksheet. I will print a worksheet and it will print the gridlines fine. I then make changes, save the document and when I print again it will not print gridlines. I have to close the document, reopen and then it will print the gridlines. Any suggestions? Thanks!


Selecting Print Grid Lines under Page Layout, I am getting lines for each row in Print Preview, however when printing the copy the grid lines encompass two or sometimes more rows. How to line each and every row?


All of the tips on this page are excellent and are likely to be helpful to many. However, despite my having all the settings described above to PRINT gridlines (I have Excel 2010; Win 7), SOMETIMES my gridlines (and borders and underlines) do not print even though they show in Print Preview. (There is nothing systematic that I could detect about when this would happen.) What fixes the problem for me is saving the file, closing it, then opening it again. (Just saving is not sufficient.) Everything prints fine from that point on, even after closing the file and opening it again later, in other words, it is a permanent fix for that file. I don't understand why this works for me, it just does. By the way, I use an old HP1100 LaserJet printer. I saw some other webpages about this problem, and they mentioned the issue might be with the age of the printer or the printer driver. My driver is the one recommended by HP for Win 7.


I do not want gridlines all over the sheet, so I use Format to put in the gridlines where I want them and how thick. They show up in the "Print Preview" mode, but fail to print.I have an HP 6525e All-In-One printer.


your instructions was the best. I worked two days on other sites and still couldn't print blank with grid lines. I followed your instructions and it worked fine. I thank you so much. That was a big help. I have windows 7 and new HP 8610 printer.


Hoorah for Josh at HP Support. I'm running Windows 7 with Excel 2007 using a new HP ENVY 5530 printer. It was not printing all the gridlines. Bottom line results from Josh -- new printers cannot always understand older software such as Excel 2007. Another printer was added to my computer (HP Deskjet 6800 was chosen by Josh using the IP address of my printer). It is using the language of the Deskjet printer to translate and print to my ENVY 5530. It is now printing ALL gridlines. Hope this helps to solve some problems.


I just figured out the easy way to get the gridlines to print. Go to your spreadsheet Home, select Page Layout, Select Margins, Select Custom Margins. Go to Options, then Printing Shortcut, Print Quality and Select "Best". It may take longer for the document to print, but you get the gridlines.


Spent half the night trying to get gridlines to print, including following several suggestions from other sites....but none mentioned setting the print area. As all the cells are empty in what I was trying to print, nothing else worked. Thanks for making my day.


Unfortunately, there is a well-documented problem affecting at least Excel 2010 on Windows 7 in which gridlines still won't print even when you've taken all of these steps. It seems to involve printer drivers, so is outside the control of anything you do in Excel.


But the problem is I almost never print any spreadsheet without gridlines. So I use the default setting 5% of the time and have to manually override it 95% of the time. That doesn't make a lot of sense.


In the previous blog post we successfully solved the problem of Excel not printing gridlines. Today I'd like to dwell on another issue related to Excel grid lines. In this article you'll learn how to show gridlines in an entire worksheet or in certain cells only, and how to hide lines by changing cells background or borders' color.


When you open an Excel document, you can see the horizontal and vertical faint lines that divide the worksheet into cells. These lines are called gridlines. It is very convenient to show gridlines in Excel spreadsheets as the key idea of the application is to organize the data in rows and columns. And you don't need to draw cell borders to make your data-table more readable.


All Excel spreadsheets have gridlines by default, but sometimes you can receive a sheet without cell lines from another person. In this case you may want them to become visible again. Removing lines is also a very common task. If you think that your spreadsheet will look more accurate and presentable without them, you can make Excel hide gridlines.Whether you decide to show gridlines in your worksheet or hide them, go ahead and find below different ways to fulfil these tasks in Excel 2016, 2013 and 2010.


Note: If you'd like to make Excel show gridlines in two or more sheets, hold down the Ctrl key and click the necessary sheet tabs at the bottom of the Excel window. Now any changes will be applied to every selected worksheet.


  • You can also use the Ctrl + A keyboard shortcut to select all the cells in the spreadsheet. You'll need to press the key combination twice or three times if your data is organized as Table.Go to the Font group on the HOME tab and open the Fill Color drop-down list.

Choose the white color from the list to remove gridlines. Note: If you want to show lines in Excel, pick the No Fill option.


In case you want Excel to hide gridlines only in a certain block of cells, you can use the white cells background or apply white borders. Since you already know how to change the background color, let me show you how to remove gridlines by coloring the borders.


You see there are different ways to show and hide gridlines in Excel. Just choose the one that will work best for you. If you know any other methods of showing and removing cell lines, you are welcome to share them with me and other users! :)


Sometimes you find a set of three cells (arranged vertically) plus one more to the right of the middle one of the three, with no gridlines showing between them. In this case it seems (sometimes) that that middle one has been formatted unexpectedly. To cure, go to Format Cells, select the Fill tab, and click on No Colour (because even if you can't really see it, it turns out that the White button has been selected. This cured a puzzle for us!


The gridlines only show for the information entered. Meaning, if only two days have been entered so far, gridlines only show up for those two days. I need the whole page to print out in gridlines. Those future gridline days will eventually be filled in. 2ff7e9595c
