How can I transfer a flowchart I created in Excel into a Word document
without the grid lines?
 
How did you create the flowchart? How are you bringing it into Excel?
Try one of these:

If you drew the chart with the Drawing tools, before you put the flowchart
in Word. Turn the grid lines for the flow chart off by going to Tools menu.
Cllick Options and choose the View tab. Deselect the Gridlines checkbox in
the Window options area.

--OR--

You could Group all the shapes int the flow chart and the Copy it and Paste
it into Word. Select multiple shapes by holding down the Shift key when you
click them.


If you made your flow chart by typing into cells (instead of using the
Drawing tools), in Word, click the Table menu and, if the checkbox is
selected, clear the Hide Gridlines button. This will hide the gray
non-printing borders you see when you are editing a Word document that
contains tables.
