Restoring the light gray cell borders...

[John Wirt]

For some reason I have not been able to determine, The light gray border
that surrounds each cell in a new worksheet turns white. SO , it looks like
the cell has "disappeared." Of course, this is just a visual issue, since
the cell still exists and works fine.

My question is, how can I restore the border. I have found that it is
possible to reestablish a facsimile of the original borders using the
Format/Cell/Borders menu options and setting color to the lightest gray on
the palette but this seems like a crude method. There must be a more direct
method.

What is it?

Tools>Options>View. Make sure Gridlines is checked and Gridlines color is set
to Automatic.

Note: if cells' background color has been set to White you won't see the
Gridlines. Default background color is "no color".
