Copy and Paste with Excel to Outlook

[Tavish Muldoon]

Hello,

I am trying to copy and paste a column from MS Excel to an email on
Outlook 2000.

The problem is - I only have a copy option, and when I paste it - I
get the gridlins from that spreadsheet column. I just want the text
to show up. To make matters worse - the text is going throught grid
as if it does not fit.

Ideally, the recipient will respond to each element in the column -
but the grid might make it difficult.

How can I copy and paste a colume from Excel to Outlook without the
gridlines?

Thanks,

Tmuld.

Have you tried setting Excel to not display gridlines? You can do this
under Tools, Options, View. I don't know whether it will help, but I think
it's worth a try.

Sounds to me, though, like you might be better off leaving the gridlines in
the message since you want the recipient to respond to each element. Do you
want their response to appear on the same row? If so, wouldn't gridlines
show them how much space they have for entering their response if you
include a column for the response in the range you copy from Excel and make
it the maximum width that would fit on one line in the email message?
