This article was previously published under Q115397 SYMPTOMS
When you paste Microsoft Word 5.x for the Macintosh tables into Microsoft
PowerPoint for the Macintosh, the vertical gridlines do not disappear. This
is especially obvious when you paste a table onto a colored slide
background.
WORKAROUND
To paste Word 5.x tables into PowerPoint without gridlines, use the
following steps:
- In Word, select the entire table.
- Press COMMAND+OPTION+D. This copies the table to the Clipboard.
- On the File menu in Word, click New. On the Edit menu, click
Paste. This pastes the table into a new document.
- Double-click the table in the new document. Cancel the resulting
Edit Picture window.
- Select the table. On the Edit menu, click Copy.
- Paste the table into PowerPoint.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Word 5.x for the
Macintosh. This problem was corrected in Word 6.0 (that is, gridlines are
not visible when you copy from Word 6.0).
