It does work--Don's suggestion to your first post worked fine for me.
Put a space character in A1. Put a space character in the bottom right corner of the range you want printed. Make sure that you're printing gridlines, too: File|page setup|sheet tab|check Gridlines.

Yes (for the procedure I posted also). What you are doing is putting a character in the cell so Excel won't see the sheet as empty and you are using a blank space so it won't show up in the print out. Rick |

What we are having trouble with is why you can't do it. We all have
absolutely no problem doing what you describe. So perhaps you may tell us what does happen when you view the Print preview of the selected area? And what actually happens when you tell it to print?

I just selected a few cells by typing some letters in each. I went and
checked the print Gridlines and tried printing but only the letters came out not the lines. I've tried doing all the suggestions, and I know that a few have tried and gotten blank cells with the gridlines showing, but I can't. So, it must be me. I totally don't know Excel, someone mentioned there was a Border icon and I don't even show that, so I don't know what to do. I guess I'll go without doing this. Thanks for the help anyway.

That's ok, we can work your system around it. Do this, Select the area
you are going to use, then R-click in the area, pick Format Cells, then Border, Select Color "Black" and then click Outline and Inside buttons and OK. Then try the printing.

Hi,
Hi, This works. You can think about your convience with this example. Do the following: Procedure 1: 1. Click cell A1 and press the space bar. 2. Type a Character and highlight the character. 3. On the Font menu, click Cell. The Format cells dialog appears. 4. Click the Font Tab. 5. In the Color list, click the White color. 6. Click OK to save the settings and return to the Worksheet. The Worksheet cell A1 contains text which cannot be seen. Procedure 2: 1. Click Cell F16 and press the space bar. 2. Type a Character and highlight the character. 3. On the Font menu, click Cell. The Format cells dialog appears. 4. Click the Font Tab. 5. In the Color list, click the White color. 6. Click OK to save the settings and return to the Worksheet. The Worksheet cell F16 contains text which cannot be seen. 7. Now hight the reange A1:F16. Procedure 3: 1. On the File menu, click PageSetup. The Page Setup dialog box appears. 2. Click the Sheet tab, and then click the Gridlines checkbox under the Print section. 3. Click OK to return to the worksheet. Do not deselect the range selection. 4. On the File menu, click Print. The Print dialog box appears. 5. Under Print What section, click Selection, and then click OK. This will print the page with selected range with the gridlines. This is just an example to you a printed output of cll with gridlies and without content. This will give you an overview of how to get your solution get done.
