Default Deleting (not hiding )Cells in a Excel to Word Doc

I created My CV in Excel, then copied and pasted the Doc into Word
2003.
when I open the document in Word the gridlines (cells from Excel)
appear.
I realise that I can hide the gridlines (cells) in Word 2003.
But what I would really like to do is DELETE the gridlines totally.
Can this be done.

Many Thanks
Mr Hull

Default Deleting (not hiding )Cells in a Excel to Word Doc

You can show/hide the gridlines from the Table menu. You can remove borders
from Format | Borders and Shading or by pressing Ctrl+Alt+U. Or you can
convert the table to text (Table | Convert | Table to Text) if what you
really want is to remove the text from the table.

Reading the original post with my psychic mind-reader hat on, I
suspect that Mr Hull wants to send the CV electronically to a
potential employer, and wants to make sure the gridlines never appear.
The answer is that this is not possible -- if the employer wants to
turn on gridlines, he or she can do it at will.

Well, the solution to that (insofar as it exists) is presented in

TO JAY FREEDMAN,
Your psychic mind-reader hat was spot on. I did indeed want to email
my cv and not show the gridlines.
TO Suzanne S. BARNHILL. thanks for the link......
(http://home.earthlink.net/~wordfaqs/HideGridlines.htm.)
It may not of deleted the gridlines, But did a bloody good job of
hiding them.
Many thanks to the both of you for taking the time to help a complete
stranger.
PS.. I do still have one 'Grey'line on my doc that I cannot seem to
remove.
On the Left hand side of the 'Grey' line there appears to be some sort
of 'cross' within a small square. Is there a way to remove it?
Thanks Regardless
Peter.

The icon you describe (if red) usually indicates a graphic that is not being
